17988If you are so down on freshmen in general, how in the world do you manage to endure that dreadful Miss Briggs?

17988It looks as though she were in mourning, does n''t it?
17988It was lovely, was n''t it, Anne?
17988Judging from all outward signs I suppose you are going to the reception, else why wear your costliest raiment?

17988The question is, where is J. Elfreda? 17988 The question is,"replied Frances,"do you understand me?"

17988Why did n''t you tell us all this before? 17988 Why do n''t you pay us a visit, then?"
17988Why do n''t you wish to go to Overton?
17988Why not stay at home?
17988Why not walk down stairs? 17988 Why not?"
17988Why not?
17988Why, Grace Harlowe, where did you come from?
17988Wo n''t you come in?
17988Wo n''t you come up to our rooms?
17988Wo n''t you come with us?
17988Wo n''t you sing for us?
17988Would n''t we, girls?
17988Would n''t you?
17988Would you really?
17988Would you, honestly?
17988You are awfully anxious to make me think that no one but you and your friends ever liked me, are n''t you?
17988You are very fond of Mabel, are you not, Miss Alden?
17988You do n''t blame me for saying so?
17988You heard me calling and came on the run, did n''t you? 17988 ''Do you want to see the registrar of Overton College?'' 17988 ''Where''s the registrar?'' 17988 ***** The Range and Grange Hustlers By FRANK GEE PATCHIN Have you any idea of the excitements, the glories of life on great ranches in the West? 17988 Am I right, Anne?
17988Anne, do you think Virginia Gaines is in this affair, too?"
17988Anne, will you look out for Arline Thayer and Ruth?
17988Are you going my way home?"
17988Are you going to study your Livy to- night, Miriam?"
17988Besides, why should the freshmen undertake to champion the cause of two sophomores, unless the latter had entirely misrepresented things?
17988But what good does it do me now?"
17988But why should these two girls accept the hospitality of the very girl they had tried to drive away from Overton?
17988But wo n''t you have some tea?
17988Did Miriam tell you about the basketball try out on Exeter Field?"
17988Did you finish your theme, dear?"
17988Did you see Nora''s telegram?"
17988Do n''t you remember what she said about Ruth''s pride the first time we took her to call on Ruth?"
17988Do n''t you understand?
17988Do you girls all dance, and how many of you can lead?"
17988Do you hear me?"
17988Do you remember the day I met you?
17988Do you want all the girls in the house to hear you?"
17988Does n''t it seem dreadful that we are obliged to be separated?
17988Does n''t that sound like the heroine''s name in one of the six best sellers?"
17988Does she know that you are to be here?"
17988Elfreda?"
17988Ever been there?"
17988Finding themselves alone for the moment Mabel turned to Grace with a solemnly inquiring air,"How did you do it?"
17988Foolish name for a town, is n''t it?"
17988Forest?"
17988Funny, was n''t it, that you had such a poor idea of their playing?
17988Grace heard Arline Thayer say regretfully,"You are sure you ca n''t go, Ruth?"
17988Grace, what do you suppose Elfreda said before you came upstairs?"
17988Have you had bad news from home?"
17988Have you seen Elfreda lately?"
17988Have you taken your examinations yet?"
17988How could she deliberately try to make it hard for a girl like Anne?"
17988I heartily agree with Ma, do n''t you?"
17988I supposed you''d all flunked in your exams, given up the job, and gone back to Glendale, Hilldale-- what''s the name of that dale you hail from?"
17988If I were to ask you girls to drop everything and follow me on Friday night, would you do it?"
17988In the first place, what haunted house does she mean?"
17988Is n''t that glorious, and do you think we''ll be allowed to go?"
17988Is n''t the lesson for to- morrow terrific, though?"
17988It does n''t sound much like Rosalind, does it?
17988It is an upper class house, is n''t it?"
17988Just think, Grace, wo n''t that be splendid to be back in dear old Oakdale again?"
17988Maybe you noticed I was n''t very talkative that night after we got back to the house, Miriam?"
17988Meanwhile Anne telegraphed,"May we bring friend?
17988Miriam, will you see Mabel Ashe, Constance Fuller and Frances Marlton in the morning?
17988Now can you beat it?"
17988Now she said apologetically,"I''m very sorry, Miss Nesbit, but could you-- that is-- would you mind having a roommate after all?
17988Now, honestly, Grace, you would have taken her in without a murmur, would n''t you?"
17988Now, what would you naturally infer from that?"
17988Oh, why did n''t we think to run back and let her out in spite of those ridiculous white figures?"
17988Say, are n''t you girls about starved?
17988She is a beauty, is n''t she?"
17988She sighed, then said abruptly,"Have you bought all your presents yet?"
17988She smiled contentedly, and nodding to the fluffy- haired little girl standing beside her said gleefully:"What did I tell you?
17988She smiled disagreeably at Grace, who looked at her steadily, then said,"Was your remark intended for me and my friends, Miss Gaines?"
17988Suddenly a voice shrilled out impatiently,"Is this seat engaged?"
17988Suppose we follow it?"
17988That''s Morton House, is n''t it?"
17988There is no stigma attached to my brother''s art, why should there be to yours?"
17988These were weighty problems to solve satisfactorily, and coupled with the constant,"Have I forgotten any one''s present?"
17988Want to come upstairs, Miss Harlowe?"
17988We are not what you might call social successes, are we?"
17988We can go to- morrow night, ca n''t we?"
17988We have loads of money, but what good does that do me if I ca n''t get a chance to spend it?
17988We really know more upper class girls, do n''t we?"
17988What college do you get off at?"
17988What did you think after you saw''Hamlet''?"
17988What do you think of to- morrow''s German?
17988What had caused Miriam to answer in such fashion?
17988What have you put down?"
17988What is the name of the hotel where we are to stop?"
17988What is your pleasure?"
17988What kind of a time have you been having here, and did you pass all your exams?"
17988What made you decide to let her stay?
17988Where have you been keeping yourself?"
17988Where have you been, anyway?
17988Where?"
17988Who, having once met me, could forget?"
17988Will you come?"
17988Will you forgive me, girls?
17988Will you permit me to speak a few words in defense of my friend, Grace Harlowe?"
17988Wo n''t that be nice?"
17988Wo n''t you stay and help eat it?
17988Would n''t you rather go to New York City with Arline than to Oakdale with us?"
17988You never wish that you had entered Vassar or Smith or any other college?"
17988and,"Why did n''t you get here earlier?"
17988she called, then exclaimed in surprise as the door opened:"Why, Miriam, where did you go?
157''A writer?''
157''But did n''t you ever travel?''
157''Did you notice the gentleman who has just gone?''
157''I trust that you are properly grateful for this very rare good fortune that has befallen you?
157''Is this Miss Abbott?''
157''To college?''
157''What were your parents thinking of not to have those tonsils out when you were a baby?''
157''Where on earth were you brought up?''
157''Who wants me?''
157( Almost as funny as Jerusha, is n''t it?)
157( Do n''t I know a lot of law?)
15710th October Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Did you ever hear of Michael Angelo?
15724th July Dearest Daddy- Long- Legs, Is n''t it fun to work-- or do n''t you ever do it?
15726th December My Dear, Dear, Daddy, Have n''t you any sense?
15727th August Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Where are you, I wonder?
1579th January Do you wish to do something, Daddy, that will ensure your eternal salvation?
157A. Saturday Do you want to know what I look like?
157ARE YOU BALD?
157Affectionately, Judy 30th September Dear Daddy, Are you still harping on that scholarship?
157Affectionately, Judy LOCK WILLOW, 4th April Dear Daddy, Do you observe the postmark?
157After chapel, Thursday What do you think is my favourite book?
157Also-- But what''s the use of arguing with a man?
157Am I too familiar, Daddy?
157And I thought that my own clothes this year were unprecedentedly( is there such a word?)
157And a stereognathus?
157And are you perfectly bald or just a little bald?
157And now I suppose you''ve been waiting very impatiently to hear what I am learning?
157And now, shall I tell you about my vacation, or are you only interested in my education as such?
157And the people?
157And the shops?
157And what do you think I am going to do?
157And what do you think he did?
157And what do you think we''re going to see?
157And what do you think?
157And where do you think we were going?
157And will you promise not to think me vain?
157And, if so, did people talk that way?
157Are n''t Judy and Jervie having fun?
157Are you SURELY in a good humour?
157Are you interested in poultry?
157Are you old enough, Daddy, to remember sixty years ago?
157Brazil?
157But are n''t the streets entertaining?
157But ca n''t you guess that I have a special topic due Monday morning and a review in geometry and a very sneezy cold?
157But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith?
157But is n''t it just like a man, Daddy?
157But maybe you''ve loved somebody, too, and you know?
157But really, Daddy, what could you expect?
157But to be the manager of a flourishing overall factory is a very desirable position, do n''t you think?
157But we''re both very, very happy, are n''t we?
157But what do you think?
157But would n''t it be dreadful if I did n''t?
157But you are cheerful again, are n''t you?
157C''est drole ca n''est pas?
157Ca n''t you guess anything else?
157Dear Daddy, are n''t you glad you''re not a girl?
157Did I ever tell you about the election?
157Did I tell you that I have been elected a member of the Senior Dramatic Club?
157Did you ever hear anything so funny?
157Did you ever hear anything so scandalous?
157Did you ever hear anything so shocking?
157Did you ever hear of anything so exciting?
157Did you ever hear of such a discouraging series of events?
157Did you ever hear of such a funny coincidence?
157Did you ever hear such a name?
157Did you ever know such a philosopheress as I am developing into?
157Did you ever know such fun?
157Did you ever read it, or was n''t it written when you were a boy?
157Did you( individually) ever pat me on the head, Daddy?
157Do n''t you KNOW that you must n''t give one girl seventeen Christmas presents?
157Do n''t you hope I''ll get in the team?
157Do n''t you really think that I ought to be an artist instead of an author?
157Do n''t you suppose you could spare one hundred dollars?
157Do n''t you think I''d make an admirable voter if I had my rights?
157Do n''t you think it was perfect of him to spend all the ten thousand dollars his father left, for a yacht, and go sailing off to the South Seas?
157Do n''t you think it would be interesting if you really could read the story of your life-- written perfectly truthfully by an omniscient author?
157Do n''t you think it would be nice for me to go with her, then we could have a studio together?
157Do n''t you think that''s a nice idea?
157Do n''t you?
157Do you believe in free will?
157Do you care to know how I''ve furnished my room?
157Do you feel that way?''
157Do you know about that one scandalous blot in my career the time I ran away from the asylum because they punished me for stealing cookies?
157Do you know what an archaeopteryx is?
157Do you mean to tell me that you actually live in all that confusion?
157Do you mind pretending you''re my uncle?
157Do you play golf or hunt or ride horseback or just sit in the sun and meditate?
157Do you remember the little dugout places with gratings over them by the laundry windows in the John Grier Home?
157Do you still hate girls?
157Do you think as a consistent Socialist that I ought to belong?
157Do you think you are?
157Do you think you could have passed?
157Do you think you would like her if you knew her?
157Do you want me to tell you a secret that I''ve lately discovered?
157Do you want to hear about them?
157Do you want to know something?
157Do you want to know what I bought with my money?
157Does n''t it seem queer for me to belong to someone at last?
157Does n''t that arouse your sympathy?
157Does n''t that impress you as a perfectly exorbitant amount?
157Exact date unknown Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Is it snowing where you are?
157Examinations next week, but who''s afraid?
157Friday What do you think, Daddy?
157Given a tall rich man who hates girls, but is very generous to one quite impertinent girl, what does he look like?
157Goodbye-- sorry to have disobeyed, but why are you so persistent about not wanting me to play a little?
157Guess what I''m reading?
157Guess where it''s laid?
157Had a lady visitor seen the hole in Susie Hawthorn''s stocking?
157Had-- O horrors!--one of the cherubic little babes in her own room F''sauced''a Trustee?
157Have you a butler?
157He sounds like an archangel, does n''t he?
157He twirled a button Without a glance my way: But, madam, is there nothing else That we can show today?
157Here is your portrait: But the problem is, shall I add some hair?
157How can I keep my mind sternly fixed on a studious career, when you deflect me with such worldly frivolities?
157How does my programme strike you, Daddy?
157How does that strike you, Mr. Smith?
157How many people do you suppose would have the courage to read it then?
157I am always making this an excuse, am I not?
157I can see myself that it''s no good on earth, and when a loving author realizes that, what WOULD be the judgment of a critical public?
157I do n''t believe there''s any real, underneath difference, do you?
157I do n''t call that fair, do you?
157I do n''t have to mind any one this summer, do I?
157I do n''t suppose it matters in the least whether they are stupid or not so long as they are pretty?
157I hope that I do n''t hurt your feelings when I criticize the home of my youth?
157I hope you never touch alcohol, Daddy?
157I never heard of anybody being asylum- sick, did you?
157I never told you, did I, that Amasai and Carrie got married last May?
157I put it out of my mind, and keep on pretending; but do n''t you see, Daddy?
157I seem to be floundering in a sea of metaphor-- but I hope you grasp my meaning?
157I suppose you think that the fuss we make over clothes is too absolutely silly?
157I suppose you''re thinking now what a frivolous, shallow little beast she is, and what a waste of money to educate a girl?
157I suppose you''ve been in Sherry''s?
157I think we did, do n''t you?
157I wish Mrs. Lippett had n''t given me such a silly name-- it sounds like an author- ess, does n''t it?
157I would n''t make a very good detective, would I, Daddy?
157I''m a Socialist, please remember; do you wish to turn me into a Plutocrat?
157If the theory worked, I ought to be able to neutralize that hole with good strong ammonia, ought n''t I?
157If we were in a novel, that would be the denouement, would n''t it?
157Is n''t New York big?
157Is n''t Shakespeare wonderful?
157Is n''t Treasure Island fun?
157Is n''t it amazing?
157Is n''t it funny that I know how?
157Is n''t it pitiful?
157Is n''t that a happy frame of mind to be in?
157Is n''t that a lark?
157Is n''t that a nice ending?
157Is n''t that an exalted stand to take?
157Is n''t this a nice thought from Stevenson?
157Is n''t this a touching entry?
157Is there anyone in the world that I know less?
157It does n''t seem possible, does it, considering the eighteen years of training that I''ve had?
157It does n''t seem possible, does it, that so sophisticated a person, just four years ago, was an inmate of the John Grier Home?
157It seems funny, does n''t it, for me to be sending a cheque to you?
157It''s a funny sensation, is n''t it?
157It''s really too bad, is n''t it, to have to give yourself the only pet name you ever had?
157Jervie?
157Judy 30th May Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Did you ever see this campus?
157Julia''s inviting Master Jervie, he being her family, and Sallie''s inviting Jimmie McB., he being her family, but who is there for me to invite?
157LOCK WILLOW, 12th July Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, How did your secretary come to know about Lock Willow?
157Lock Willow?
157MAGNOLIA, Four days later I''d got just that much written, when-- what do you think happened?
157Maybe it is n''t polite to criticize people you''ve been visiting?
157Maybe it is n''t proper to send love?
157Mrs. Lippett is dead for ever, so far as I am concerned, and the Semples are n''t expected to overlook my moral welfare, are they?
157Must I ask your permission, or have n''t I yet arrived at the place where I can do as I please?
157Not on the whole flattering, is it, Daddy?
157Perhaps that means something to you?
157Perhaps you do n''t realize what a climax that marks in the career of an orphan?
157Seems a little early to commence entertaining, does n''t it?
157Shall I ask for Mr. Smith?
157She had never known any men in her life; how COULD she imagine a man like Heathcliffe?
157She wanted to know what my mother''s maiden name was-- did you ever hear such an impertinent question to ask of a person from a foundling asylum?
157Should you mind, just for a little while, pretending you are my grandmother?
157Sincerely yours, Jerusha Abbott 11th April Dearest Daddy, Will you please forgive me for the letter I wrote you yesterday?
157Speaking of classics, have you ever read Hamlet?
157Speaking of poetry, have you ever read that charming little thing of Tennyson''s called Locksley Hall?
157Strangers!--And what are you, pray?
157Sunday Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Is n''t it funny?
157Suppose I go to him and explain that the trouble is n''t Jimmie, but is the John Grier Home-- would that be a dreadful thing for me to do?
157That sounds well, does n''t it, Daddy?
157The Adirondacks with Sallie?
157The next morning we had a glee club concert-- and who do you think wrote the funny new song composed for the occasion?
157The only way I can ever repay you is by turning out a Very Useful Citizen( Are women citizens?
157Then you laughed and held out your hand and said,''Dear little Judy, could n''t you guess that I was Daddy- Long- Legs?''
157This is a very abstruse letter-- does your head ache, Daddy?
157Thursday Morning My Very Dearest Master- Jervie- Daddy- Long- Legs Pendleton- Smith, Did you sleep last night?
157Was n''t it nice of her?
157Was n''t it sweet of Mrs. McBride to ask me?
157Was n''t that sweet of him?
157We had a bishop this morning, and WHAT DO YOU THINK HE SAID?
157Were the sandwiches not thin enough?
157Were there shells in the nut cakes?
157What can I say to him?
157What can the third contain?
157What do you suppose is at present engaging my attention in sociology?
157What do you think is my latest activity, Daddy?
157What do you think of that?
157What do you think of this?
157What do you think, Daddy?
157What do you think?
157What do you think?
157What do you, a reformer, think of that?
157What more does a struggling author wish?
157What must I call you?
157What seems to you the right thing for me to do?
157What shall I do?
157What shape are the rooms in an octagon house?
157Where did they get it?
157Where do you suppose it came from?
157Where do you think I got it?
157Where do you think my new novel is?
157Where would it stop reflecting your face and begin reflecting your back?
157Who''s all right?
157Whom do you think I am rooming with?
157Why could n''t you have picked out a name with a little personality?
157Why, why, WHY, Daddy?
157Will you be awfully disappointed, Daddy, if I do n''t turn out to be a great author?
157Will you forgive me this once if I promise never to fail again?
157Will you kindly convey to me a comprehensible reason why I should not accept that scholarship?
157Will you still care for me, darling, if I turn out to be only eleven?
157Wot''s the hodds so long as you''re''appy?
157Would it be very improper to have it made into a bath robe?
157Would n''t he make a nice villain for a detective story?
157Would n''t it be funny to be drowned in lemon jelly?
157Would n''t it be nice to be like that?
157Would n''t it be possible for me to see you?
157Would n''t you like me to leave college and go into a dramatic school?
157Would you be terribly displeased, Daddy, if I did n''t turn out to be a Great Author after all, but just a Plain Girl?
157Would you like me to tell you something?
157Would you like to know what colour your eyes are?
157You are not a misanthrope are you, Daddy?
157You do n''t mind, do you, Daddy, if I''m not very regular?
157You do n''t mind, do you, Daddy?
157You do n''t object, do you, to playing the part of a composite family?
157You do n''t think me conceited, do you, Daddy dear?
157You only wanted to hear from me once a month, did n''t you?
157You remember Charles Benton and Henry Freize?
157You would n''t mind, would you, Daddy?
157You''ll forgive me, wo n''t you, for being so rude?
157You''ll not stay long enough to excite him?''
157You''ve never heard about my clothes, have you, Daddy?
157Yours ever, Judy 20th Jan. Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Did you ever have a sweet baby girl who was stolen from the cradle in infancy?
157Yours for ever, Judy 8th hour, Monday Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, I hope you are n''t the Trustee who sat on the toad?
41837''Got trimmed, did I?'' 41837 A folio edition of Shakespeare or only the original manuscript of one of his plays?"
41837A wall?
41837Across the river? 41837 And indeed,"she thought dreamily,"why should they not be?
41837And it was you who told the police I was in danger when that terrible man and woman locked me in?
41837And was it done in dark red leather with the decorations all in gold?
41837And you followed us right out into the country that night we went to the Ramsey cottage?
41837And, and,Lucile whispered the words,"was there a bookmark in the upper corner of the inside of the front cover?"
41837Are these the ones?
41837Are you going to take the book?
41837Are you interested in the exhibit?
41837Are you interested in this child?
41837Are you sure?
41837Are-- are you Roderick Vining?
41837Been studying late?
41837But fi- fum,she laughed a low laugh, throwing back her head until her hair danced over her white shoulders like a golden shower,"why borrow trouble?
41837But how,she asked herself,"is all this tangle to be straightened out?
41837But if I were to tell you that for the present I did not wish to have you ask me where it was, what would you say?
41837But if they did, why should they call the police for your protection?
41837But this money, this hundred dollars?
41837But what are we doing out here?
41837But what do you mean to do about it?
41837But, Florence, how can we get it?
41837By the way,Frank Morrow''s voice startled her,"you live over at the university, do n''t you?"
41837Can I never escape it? 41837 Come alone?"
41837Decent?
41837Did he have a birthmark on his chin, this man you bought the book from?
41837Did we rescue that child from that woman?
41837Did we what?
41837Did we?
41837Did what?
41837Did you find out who it was?
41837Did you hear what the child said, that she''d rather die than steal?
41837Did you see that?
41837Did-- did you finish it?
41837Do you think we should warn her? 41837 Do you wish to stay with her?"
41837Florence,she whispered excitedly,"did you hear a footstep behind us?"
41837Frank Morrow sent you all the way from Chicago that you might ask me that question? 41837 From whom?"
41837He--She paused in her perplexing problem to grip her companion''s arm and whisper,"What was that?"
41837How can you know so much about the book?
41837How could she do it?
41837How did the police know that something was going wrong in that house? 41837 How did you come here?"
41837I do n''t believe in ghosts, but-- where have I seen that face before? 41837 I-- I do n''t like it,"shivered Lucile,"but what else is there to do?"
41837I-- I wonder if she could have taken it,she whispered,"that child?
41837If the books are worth all that money, how dare you take the risk of leaving things as they are for a single hour?
41837Is someone here to meet her or is she entering the place to get something?
41837Is that all you know about it?
41837Is what she says true?
41837It might be,said Florence doubtfully,"but it does n''t seem probable, does it?
41837Let''s do it then?
41837Lucile,said Florence in a tense whisper,"are we going to let that beast of a woman get that child?
41837Mind doing me a favor?
41837Mind going over the whole story again?
41837Miss Tucker,the librarian smiled,"do you chance to have any knowledge of the whereabouts of the first volume of our early edition of Shakespeare?"
41837Not the rich Ramsey?
41837Now how shall I find her?
41837Oh, are you?
41837Oh, that?
41837Oh,she smiled back,"are there really original manuscripts of Shakespeare''s plays?"
41837Pardon me; you wanted to see me? 41837 Perhaps not at all?"
41837Please may I take a chair?
41837Question is,she told herself,"what am I going to do about it?"
41837Seems strange, does n''t it?
41837She returned once, why not again?
41837Show up yet?
41837That book?
41837The one who followed me the night I got caught in that wretched woman''s house, and other times?
41837The one with his collar turned up and with his back to us?
41837The police? 41837 There''s nothing so terrible about that, is there?"
41837Want to see that she gets safely home?
41837We-- we--she faltered"--may we not step back under the light where you can see the book better?"
41837Well, my young friend,he smiled,"what is it I may do for you this morning?
41837Well, what will it be to- day?
41837Well,she heaved a sigh,"whatever could have come over him?
41837Well?
41837Were two of them very small ones?
41837Wha-- where has she gone?
41837What about it, little one?
41837What did he want?
41837What did you tell her?
41837What do you make of it?
41837What else could I do? 41837 What for?"
41837What is it?
41837What next?
41837What right has he? 41837 What right have you to keep it?"
41837What two?
41837What would n''t one give to have it for a study?
41837What would that young man be doing in a summer cottage at this time of year?
41837What''s going on here?
41837What''s that for?
41837What''s the answer to all this? 41837 What''s the girl tied up for?"
41837What''s the trouble?
41837What''s the use?
41837What?
41837What?
41837Whatever can be the matter with him?
41837Where am I and where am I to go?
41837Where are we?
41837Where did you get this book?
41837Where''ve you been in all this storm? 41837 Wherever can we be going?
41837Who can it be?
41837Who is it?
41837Who was he?
41837Who''s Frank Morrow?
41837Who-- who was he?
41837Why always the gargoyle? 41837 Why did we do it?"
41837Why-- er--there was a catch in her throat--"is it gone?"
41837Why?
41837Why?
41837Will you tell him all about it?
41837Wonder what my new acquirement is like?
41837Wonder what she calls the taking of our Shakespeare?
41837Would n''t you like to see the inside of it?
41837Would you like to have me tell you a little about them?
41837Would you like to see some old books and get a notion of their value?
41837Would you-- would you mind telling me how you knew what book I had when you did not see it?
41837Yes, was n''t it? 41837 Yes, why?
41837You do n''t think she''d dare?
41837You-- you''re not?
41837Your daughter?
41837''Why should you think that?''
41837A moment later she said in a quiet tone of voice:"Lucile, do n''t you think it''s about time we waded ashore?
41837A second question suddenly disturbed her: Who was this child?
41837Ah, yes, how wonderful they are, these books?"
41837And could he, above all, induce an innocent child to join him in the deed?
41837And how could a child with a face like hers consciously commit a theft?"
41837And what does he want?"
41837And what is the meaning of the secret mark?"
41837And what would n''t two hundred dollars mean to her?
41837And who would suspect me?
41837And why did he assume that she was borrowing it?"
41837And why?
41837And, indeed, who, besides herself, could be in the book stacks at this hour of the night?
41837At first she thought she ought, yet deliberation led to silence, for, after all, what did she know?
41837Besides, if it''s plain business, why all this slipping in at the lake front instead of passing through the gate?"
41837Besides, what if it is?
41837But now she clutched at her heart as she asked herself once more:"Who can it be?
41837But where?
41837But where?"
41837But why was she going?
41837Ca n''t you?"
41837Came clear and got out of this affair; turned facts over to the authorities and allowed them to take their course?"
41837Came to borrow a book, did you?
41837Can I go no place without discovering that books marked with that hated, haunting sign have been stolen?
41837Can you see it in the morning papers?
41837Could he stoop to stealing?"
41837Did he suspect her?
41837Did he suspect something?
41837Did he suspect?
41837Did she catch a glimpse of a retreating figure at the far side of the campus?
41837Did the prince of the steel market wish a folio edition of Audubon''s"Birds of America"?
41837Did you wish to speak with him?"
41837Dinner, on such occasions, is served on a tea- wagon in his library; sort of makes a fellow feel at home, do n''t you know?
41837Do-- do you suppose it will be anything very dreadful?"
41837Ever been to New York before?"
41837Got any friends in New York?"
41837Had he perhaps seen her enter the library on one of those nights of her watching?
41837Had she been watched from above?
41837Had she done so at the old man''s direction?
41837Had she heard?
41837Had she herself taken it?
41837Had she seen her before?
41837Had that person been the same as he who had followed her this very night in an attempt to regain possession of the two books?
41837Had they done this to free a child about whom they knew nothing save that she had stolen two valuable books?
41837Have you read it?"
41837He paused as if in reflection, then said suddenly:"Do you think one would ever be justified in protecting a person whom he knew had stolen something?"
41837How did she expect to get out?
41837How did they come to be right there when you needed them most?"
41837How had she gotten in?
41837How long would they remain there?
41837How was I to know what had happened?
41837I wonder if he suspects-- but, no, how could he?"
41837I wonder why?
41837If he was a detective, how had she escaped him on this trip?
41837If not, who then?
41837In such a place?
41837Is that tall book second from the end on the shelf with the vacant space the Portland chart book?"
41837It was the man who had been seated at the table, but why had he been spying?
41837Last of all,"she smiled,"where does our friend, the aged Frenchman, the godfather of that precious child, come in on it?
41837Let''s see, what is that one?"
41837Let''s see-- who could tell me?
41837Let''s see?"
41837Lucile asked eagerly,"and where was his shop?"
41837Mind if I smoke?"
41837Or was it a thought?
41837Or, after all, had she?
41837Perhaps you should like to have me explain some of them to you?"
41837Pretty good, eh?"
41837Probably-- but what''s the use?
41837See that man?"
41837She had told Florence nothing, yet she had surprised her roommate often looking at her in a way which said,"Why are you out so late every night?
41837She was in a great, dark city alone and she was going-- where?
41837Should she tell what she knew?
41837Should the child be allowed to carry it to the mysterious cottage or should they insist on taking it to their room for safe keeping?
41837Simple, was n''t it?
41837So he did have a customer who was impatient of waiting and might seek a copy elsewhere?
41837That ends the affair, does it not?
41837That seems sensible enough, does n''t it?
41837The next turn found her mind focused on the one important question: Which way had the child gone?
41837The question was, what did she intend to do?
41837To what place?
41837Want''a buy it?"
41837Was a single book missing?
41837Was he a detective who had been set to dog her trail or was he some friend?
41837Was she hardened or completely innocent of guilt?
41837We gave gladly, for was it not our beloved France that was in danger?
41837Were two or three missing?
41837What I wish to know is, where did you get it?"
41837What are two books compared to the marring of a human life?
41837What could that be other than books?
41837What could that child and the old Frenchman do if the fire reached their cottage?
41837What did Frank Morrow hope to prove by any discoveries she might make regarding the former ownership of the book she carried in her pocket?
41837What did he mean?
41837What do you think it would look like?
41837What do you?
41837What great man may have contemplated the destruction of his wife?
41837What if this turned out to be a jail- breaking expedition?
41837What is one to make of that?
41837What noble lady may have whispered in its presence of some secret love?
41837What right has a university, or anyone else for that matter, to have books worth thousands of dollars?
41837What was he driving at?
41837What was she doing in the library at this unearthly hour?
41837What was the man''s purpose?
41837What was the use?
41837What was to come of that?
41837What would be the sense of having a wood plane worth eighteen thousand dollars when a five dollar one would do just as good work?"
41837What would that old man and child have to do with prisons?"
41837What would you say it was worth?"
41837What youths and maids may have slipped away into its quiet corner to utter murmurs of eternal devotion?
41837What?"
41837When is he likely to return?"
41837Where was the culprit?
41837Where''d I get her?
41837Where?
41837Who at that moment could tell?
41837Who could be expected to keep up with her?"
41837Who could tell when the fire would reach the mysterious tumble- down cottage with its aged occupant?
41837Who shall it be?"
41837Why be so foolish?"
41837Why did he not wire me?
41837Why do n''t you let me follow her alone?"
41837Why do n''t you share things with your pal?"
41837Why does Monsieur Le Bon want the books?
41837Why had the child taken the book?
41837Why not now?
41837Why not pass them on?"
41837Why should not such a person be punished?
41837Why?
41837Why?
41837Wild questions raced through her mind: Who was the child?
41837Wo n''t you please look at the book and answer my question?"
41837Woods are awful sort of spooky at night, do n''t you think so?"
41837Would it be all yellow and fiery like a glowworm or would it be just white, like a sheet?"
41837Would you mind taking them along?"
41837You do n''t think someone could suspect-- be shadowing us?"
41837Your address?
41837Your friends here will see that they are not stolen from you, will you not?"
41837grunted the proprietor suddenly,"what''s this?
41837she exclaimed,"what are you crying for?
33873''Beth,''do you mean? 33873 Am I not a better prophet than you thought?"
33873And Miss Dunbar has failed?
33873And Mr. Martin? 33873 And do n''t you see how much feeling there would have been in the class?
33873And have Abby Dunbar and all the other girls hear me? 33873 And make a bad matter worse?
33873And they go on the five o''clock train? 33873 And we do not stand a show?"
33873And you want to help the girl? 33873 Are n''t you always seeing people that you know?"
33873Are n''t you ever going to be good to Fred, Mary? 33873 Are you a Senior?"
33873Are you actually in earnest? 33873 Are you not laboring under some delusion or excitement?
33873But about her father?
33873But how does he do now?
33873But how have you finally settled it?
33873But is there nothing I can do? 33873 But what do you propose to do with him?"
33873But where do you suppose their money came from?
33873But where is her mother, and where did her money come from?
33873But why, Miss Hamilton? 33873 But you will do it for the sake of the college, will you not?"
33873But, Dolly--"Oh, will you please be still? 33873 Can we do it?
33873Christine, are matters all right at last between you and Elizabeth?
33873Come and meet my mother, will you not-- you and Miss Alden?
33873Did n''t you feel forlorn yourself last year?
33873Did n''t you give her to understand that?
33873Do you know her first name and in what city she lives?
33873Do you really like her, Con?
33873Do you remember how homesick I was in September, Beth, and how you came to the rescue like a good angel? 33873 Do you suppose that she remembers all the speeches she has made about Margaret''s aristocratic bearing?
33873Do you think so?
33873Dorothy Alden, are you in earnest?
33873For a Freshman you showed most unusual taste, and you had about the prettiest den out, but now-- pardon me if I ask why this thusness? 33873 Had n''t the servants told her?"
33873Has he been away from home long?
33873Has the girl no parents?
33873Have you a brother? 33873 Have you any other brothers beside Roy?"
33873Have you any references from former pupils?
33873How about our hostess, herself?
33873How came you to call me that?
33873How could Miss Ainsworth ever tolerate her?
33873How dare you? 33873 How do I like them, do you mean?
33873How do you know I did? 33873 How do you know all these people?
33873How do you know so much? 33873 How does it come that you are not homesick?
33873How many do you think will come? 33873 How so, mamma?"
33873I could not go to sleep tonight without telling you, Mother, but--"I understand, Dolly, Dick has spoken, has n''t he? 33873 I do n''t think so, do you, Miss Sutherland?"
33873I have not been much more communicative than Margaret Hamilton, have I? 33873 I thought Fred said that Miss Sutherland was to save the day for you?"
33873I wonder if I had n''t better give up college altogether, Mother? 33873 I wonder if I ought to withdraw my name?"
33873I would like to know why?
33873If we refuse?
33873If you had been as poor as I, how much influence would you have had? 33873 Is n''t it funny that she has n''t any little decorations for your sitting- room, as she is an old student?"
33873Is n''t she nice, Beth? 33873 Is n''t that a matter of standpoints?
33873Is that all you want, Beth?
33873It hardly seems fair, does it? 33873 Lovely?
33873Mary saved the day for you, did n''t she? 33873 May I come in, or are you too busy to talk?"
33873Me? 33873 Miss Ainsworth, could you manage to take the Latin classes in the preparatory department?
33873Mother, did you notice Fred late last evening? 33873 No wonder that you did not care to have me introduce you to Professor Newton that first evening; do you remember?
33873No, there certainly is not, and has n''t she improved wonderfully in personal appearance since she came?
33873Now, in the name of common sense, why do you care about her?
33873Oh, Mother, could n''t he see for himself that Mary cares nothing for him? 33873 Oh, dear, where shall we begin with the introductions?
33873Oh, did n''t you know? 33873 Oh, do n''t you know that tonight we give a supper to the visitors from the other colleges?
33873Oh, mamma, you do not mistrust Fred?
33873Oh, you met her when you came, did you? 33873 Quiet and inoffensive?"
33873Shall I spare your blushes and help you out, dear? 33873 That will be fine, but do n''t you see that Fred can not do justice to three young ladies?
33873That''s true, but where_ is_ Mary?
33873Then you are homesick, after all?
33873There, the last bell will ring in a second and there is no time to fuss with it longer tonight, but ca n''t you see how much better it looks? 33873 Was she a relation of that rich old Worthington who died two years ago?"
33873Well, what is it?
33873Were any of your relatives army men, Miss Hamilton? 33873 What did she say?"
33873What do you call your stepmother, Beth?
33873What do you think has happened, Dolly?
33873What have you been doing to your room, Miss Alden?
33873What in the world do you mean?
33873What of that?
33873What shall you do when you are out of college and in society?
33873What will they do?
33873Where are my belongings?
33873Where do you suppose she was?
33873Where have you been? 33873 Where is she going this summer?
33873Who gave you that, Meg? 33873 Who is your room- mate?
33873Why did n''t you ask me? 33873 Why, Margery, what is the trouble?
33873Why, oh, why, were we not put together? 33873 Why, pray?"
33873Why? 33873 Will I?"
33873Will it last, do you think?
33873Will we? 33873 Will you let me see what I can do?"
33873Will you please come to my room a few moments? 33873 Will you tell me what dresses to take, and can you give me any hints about fixing my things up?
33873Wo n''t you tell her now, Mrs. Newby? 33873 Yes, are n''t they?
33873Yes, well?
33873Yet you like Mary?
33873You are Miss Alden, are n''t you? 33873 You are a darling, but, oh, what possessed you to tell that girl anything about Margaret?"
33873You are anxious to win?
33873You are sure it is wasted?
33873You are sure?
33873You do not need me any more?
33873You slander yourself,Dolly retorted,"did n''t you act the part of a good Samaritan to me?"
33873You think that Margaret''s story was quite true?
33873You want to see your brother graduate?
33873You will? 33873 Am I right?
33873And do n''t you think that they are the finest men in the world?"
33873And had not the doctor declared that the college girls were ignorant of the greater part of her charitable deeds?
33873Are n''t you ashamed of the little faith you had in your friends?"
33873Are n''t you going to say anything to me, Dolly?"
33873Are n''t you going to tell me what it is?"
33873Are you going to ask us all to write out our ancestral history for your benefit?
33873Are you keeping secrets from your crowd?
33873Besides, as she told Mrs. Newby:"I like home better than any other place, so what is the use of running off the moment I get here?"
33873Both of you?
33873But how could she ever bring them into such a room as this was now?
33873But how does she have the means to go through college?
33873But why are we dressing up, please?
33873But would your fine friends feel the same toward you if they knew that?"
33873By the way where is Margaret?
33873By the way, Beth, where do you intend to spend the summer, anyway?"
33873By the way, Dolly, how long is Mr. Martin going to consent to wait for you?
33873By the way, do you both thoroughly realize that when we return this fall, we shall not be insignificant freshmen, but lofty sophomores?
33873By the way, her name was Hamilton, I remember; she was n''t that girl of whom Bob was talking the other night, was she?"
33873By the way, why do n''t you two drop formality and say''Elizabeth''and''Mary?''
33873CHAPTER II"What?
33873CHAPTER VIII"What is it, and has it anything to do with Mary?
33873CHAPTER XVIII"Well?"
33873Ca n''t we sit at your table tonight?"
33873Ca n''t you do that, Dolly?
33873Ca n''t you see how satisfied Father and Mother are looking?
33873Ca n''t you see what kind of a girl Constance Van Gerder is?
33873Can you cook with it?"
33873Can you do this without overtasking yourself?
33873Can you wonder, Dolly, that I felt bitter and heartsick that night?
33873Christine, you are perfectly happy now?"
33873Could she not recognize genuine goodness when she saw it?
33873Did n''t she preside with dignity at our class meeting last evening, though?
33873Did you go because of what I said today?
33873Did you know it?
33873Do either of you know?"
33873Do n''t you know that you are going to be one of the most popular girls here?
33873Do n''t you like her?"
33873Do n''t you like it?"
33873Do n''t you see how useful you can make yourselves?"
33873Do n''t you see?"
33873Do you actually think that you can save us from total disgrace?"
33873Do you know her?
33873Do you like my dress?"
33873Do you see what I mean?
33873Do you suppose that I do not know how you have been working for me?"
33873Do you think that she would like to go, Mary?"
33873Even my room- mate was missing then; you stayed for the marriage of a sister, did you not, Mary?"
33873Hamilton?"
33873Have you any rose- colored ribbons?
33873Have you asked her to room with you?
33873Have you bright ribbons?
33873Hear that awful gong?
33873How about the people in it?"
33873How could she stand it?
33873How could she tell?
33873How did you ever manage it all so smoothly, Miss Dolly?
33873How do I compare with the girls from the other colleges?"
33873How do you happen to know anything more about Margaret than her room- mate?"
33873How often have you been in the habit of going to that part of Westover?"
33873I am glad that she is to be one of us, are n''t you?"
33873I shall be so glad, so glad--""So glad, that you will grant all sorts of favors?"
33873I suppose you know by this time that she is to go home early tomorrow?"
33873I want Dolly to go home with me as soon as you can spare her, but I suppose you will want her at Christmas?"
33873I wonder if Professor Newton would n''t like to make us a little visit?
33873I wonder if she thinks that love is measured out by the quart, Professor Newton, and that Beth and I have exhausted our supply?"
33873I wonder if you girls up at the college know half the good that Miss Van Gerder is doing with her wealth?"
33873I wonder to whom I had better go?"
33873I wonder where she was going?"
33873I wonder why she always turns down that lane?
33873I wonder, Miss Alden, if you would ask her to come here while Miss Sutherland and I are interviewing Professor Newton?"
33873Is anyone else invited, Mary?"
33873Is she nice?"
33873Is that too much to ask?
33873Is this a daily performance?"
33873Just put them on her, wo n''t you?
33873Margery, will you show Miss Alden to 77?
33873Mary Sutherland, have you ever told her the silly things I have said?"
33873Newby?"
33873None of you have any special candidates at heart this year, have you?"
33873Now tell me, can I help you with your trunk?
33873Oh, how could she have been so thoughtless, though?
33873Oh, then she was some relative of my uncle''s?
33873Repentance does n''t take away the consequences of one''s folly, does it?
33873Say to her that we will go; no doubt of that, is there, Dolly?
33873See?
33873Shall I like them?
33873Shall I take you to her, Dolly?"
33873Shall I?"
33873She has n''t met any of the girls yet, and you have given her a beautiful welcome, have n''t you?"
33873Steele?"
33873Suppose you ask your father about the matter?
33873Surely you have noticed it?
33873That was settled long ago, was n''t it?
33873That we shall not be lonely and homesick and have no one to whom to talk, and that we can haze the newcomers?"
33873Was Margaret visiting there?
33873Was it all a prearranged plan?
33873Was it possible that Fred cared particularly for Mary?
33873Was n''t that splendid of Mary?
33873We ca n''t afford to start our Freshman year with factional feelings, can we, Mary?"
33873Well, you do n''t suppose that any of the rest of us would be so mean- spirited as to make objections?
33873What could she do?
33873What do you say to a yellow room?"
33873What do you say?
33873What do you say?"
33873What do you suppose she does want, anyway?"
33873What do you think of the plan?"
33873What do you think?"
33873What does it matter?
33873What had not Dolly and these other friends of hers done to make college life pleasant for her during the past four years?
33873What have you to say for yourself?"
33873What is the chief duty of every Freshman?"
33873What made Mary so blind and obtuse in these days?
33873What must Margaret feel?"
33873What shall I do with them now, Miss Newby?"
33873What shall I tell him, Dolly, dear?
33873What shall we do?"
33873What should I have done without you?
33873What was the matter with him?
33873What was the_ right_ thing to do?
33873What would her mother advise?
33873What would n''t she do for the sake of paying her own way?
33873When did she ask us?
33873Which do you think would be the better plan?"
33873Which path shall she choose?
33873Which plan would you prefer?"
33873Who had gone to Mrs. O''Flaherty on the first hint of sickness?
33873Who had stood Margaret Hamilton''s friend?
33873Who is she, Bob?"
33873Who is your candidate for the place?"
33873Who was helping Margery Ainsworth to regain her self- respect?
33873Why ca n''t you be yourself, and enjoy Constance and her bright ways as Beth and I do?"
33873Why did he and Beth not chatter more familiarly, though?
33873Why did n''t you tell us before?"
33873Why had she written home anything about Margaret?
33873Why was n''t she doing it now?
33873Why were girls so much narrower than boys?
33873Will I do?"
33873Will not that do?"
33873Will you come in, please?
33873Will you forgive me?
33873Will you help me?
33873Will you not be ashamed of me?"
33873Would she never learn to be less impetuous, she wondered, and to mind her own business?
33873Would you very much mind going with me to help?"
33873Yet, after all, what could that girl say to hurt her-- Abby Dunbar?
33873Yet, did she want him to go off and never come back?
33873You are not out of practice a bit, but still you will let Mr. Thornbury have all your extra leisure until the games come off, wo n''t you?
33873You have no objections, Father?"
33873You want everything smooth and harmonious, do n''t you?"
33873You would not imagine it, would you?"
33873[ Illustration:"Are n''t you going to say anything to me, Dolly?"]
33873and what shall we do?"
33873do you think it will be close?"
33873have you had bad news?
19015A girl who only pretends friendship?
19015A threat? 19015 A-- we had a caller-- a girl----Why should n''t I be frank?
19015And that''someone else''?
19015And you approve of her stand?
19015And you, Miss Nelson?
19015Are you going to study to- night?
19015Are you going to take it to the postoffice?
19015Are you sure she said her_ room_?
19015But could it be? 19015 But how could she possibly know that?"
19015But how did it thus happen so beautifully?
19015But suppose we find that it''s true?
19015But suppose we save quite a lot, what would we do with it?
19015But what?
19015But why not go straight to Madison Hall?
19015But would she do it?
19015But would the girls who need it ask for it?
19015Did Ethel tell you this?
19015Did I hear you mention Marian Seaton''s name?
19015Did n''t you see them exchange glances? 19015 Did you bring Firefly East with you, this year, Jane?"
19015Did you hear what I said, Jane?
19015Did you notice how vexed Mrs. Weatherbee looked when she came downstairs?
19015Did_ she_ say it in just those words?
19015Do n''t you want to come to my house party, Dorothy?
19015Do you accept this apology?
19015Do you know whether Mary and Norma have invited their freshmen?
19015Do you mean that as a threat?
19015Do you mean to insinuate that_ I_ have n''t?
19015Do you realize that those two girls actually accuse_ me_ of being a_ thief_?
19015Do you think she''s found out anything?
19015Do you think you can outplay Miss Stearns?
19015Does the notice state where she believes she lost the ring?
19015Funny the way our little mystery was solved, was n''t it?
19015Had this Miss Noble examinations to take?
19015Have any of you?
19015Have you examinations to try, Miss Noble?
19015Have you invited your freshman yet?
19015How can I be the friend of a girl who talks about me?
19015How could we possibly think such a thing?
19015How could you?
19015How did you know I wanted to see you?
19015How do I know that you would n''t take it to President Blakesly if I gave it to you?
19015How do you suppose she found out about our going to invite the Bridge Street freshmen to the dance?
19015How long do you think we ought to wait before-- well, you know?
19015How many names were signed to it?
19015How?
19015How?
19015Is Dorothy Martin at your table?
19015Is he not cunning?
19015Is n''t Millie here any more?
19015It''s a comfy old room, is n''t it?
19015Jane,began Judith impressively,"before you went home last year did you arrange with Mrs. Weatherbee about your room for this year?"
19015May I ask where_ you_ were, Miss Seaton, when you overheard it?
19015Mrs. Weatherbee wants to see us in_ her room_?
19015Mrs. Weatherbee,she said,"ca n''t this affair be settled now and among ourselves?
19015New York? 19015 Norma, do you suppose Miss Marsh''s friends have received invitations to the dance?"
19015Now why do you suppose she wants to see us in her room? 19015 Oh, is it?"
19015Oh, well, she has n''t succeeded,reminded Judith,"so why should we care?
19015Oh, would n''t I? 19015 Really, girls, am I awake or do I dream?
19015Shall we not go to make the call soon after dinner to- morrow night?
19015Shall we not speak of more pleasant things? 19015 She could, but would she?"
19015She''s begun rather early in the year, has n''t she?
19015Suppose Miss Stearns''friends should take it up and raise a regular riot about it? 19015 Suppose anything-- well-- disagreeable for us-- should come of it?"
19015Suppose she wo n''t let us inside her room?
19015That she does n''t intend to live at the Hall this year? 19015 Then how did I know about it?"
19015Then why did you nod your head when I looked at you?
19015Then you still believe that I wrote_ this_?
19015Then you suspect a particular person as having written it?
19015Then you think we ought to stick to Marian?
19015Then you would advise me not to go too deeply into things?
19015They are awfully thoroughbred, are n''t they?
19015To make the sophomore team?
19015Too bad Dorothy''s given up referee''s post this year, is n''t it?
19015Two against one in favor of Miss Seaton?
19015Well, girl of mine, what is it? 19015 Well, how did the gift party come off?"
19015Well, how was I to know? 19015 Well, what are we going to do about it?"
19015Well, what''s the matter with you?
19015What are you going to do about that paper?
19015What are you going to do?
19015What are you going to do?
19015What are you going to give our four freshmen, Judy?
19015What are you talking about? 19015 What did I tell you, girls?
19015What did Miss Rutledge say about it?
19015What did she say to you?
19015What did she say?
19015What do you know about her? 19015 What do you mean?"
19015What do you think about it?
19015What do you think of that, Maiz?
19015What do you think of that? 19015 What happened after that?"
19015What happened?
19015What have you to say to this?
19015What is it, Judy?
19015What is it? 19015 What is the pleasure of this indignation meeting?
19015What made you come back to college so early, dear Imp?
19015What''s come? 19015 What''s the answer to all this, Dorothy?
19015What''s the answer, Jane?
19015What''s the matter with Judy? 19015 What''s the matter, Dorothy?"
19015What''s the matter, Imp?
19015What''s the matter, Jane? 19015 What''s the matter, Judy?"
19015What?
19015What?
19015When did you discover this find?
19015When do we do this valiant stunt?
19015When does the great offensive take place?
19015When is it to be?
19015When is the grand reckoning to be?
19015Where do we go from here?
19015Which of these two girls is Miss Allen?
19015Which of us do you believe, Alicia?
19015Who cares whether your clothes are new of old, Dorothy?
19015Who knows? 19015 Who wrote it for you?"
19015Who''s going to tell her all this?
19015Who''s on the freshman team?
19015Why do you not ring the bell and thus summon the maid?
19015Why have you not answered the fond letter of your small Imp? 19015 Why not let us into the know?"
19015Why should it? 19015 Why should n''t I be generous?"
19015Why should you be surprised?
19015Wicked one, why did you not tell me this before?
19015Will you go to Alicia and invite her to the party? 19015 Will you please not interrupt me?"
19015Would it then be possible that I might have some to- morrow? 19015 Would you object to telling us the name of the girl who brought you the paper to sign?"
19015Would you-- could you-- would you care to make some for me, some day?
19015Yes, and why did I?
19015Yet how could she otherwise know these things?
19015Yet what could one do thus to bring about the reform?
19015You did?
19015You do n''t believe she suspects me of stealing those girls''jewelry, do you?
19015You mean Miss Noble?
19015You refer to Judith Stearns?
19015You said the paper began,''We, the undersigned''?
19015You understand that there are to be no more of a similar nature involving us or any other girls here at Wellington?
19015You were also one of the judges, Miss Brown?
19015You were one of the judges, I believe?
19015_ What_ do you think of that?
19015*****"_ Where_ is Elsie?"
19015A prep school, I suppose?"
19015And what about Christine and Barbara?"
19015Are n''t you going to say''How de do''to him?"
19015Are you aware, Judy Stearns, that exams begin to- morrow?"
19015Are you going to ride this year, Dorothy?"
19015Are you satisfied to leave it so?"
19015Are you willing that it should be so?"
19015At what time shall we come for you?"
19015Between you and me, I wonder if she really did lose a ring?
19015But then, why should we be?
19015But what?
19015But what?
19015By the way, Judy, did you receive a note from Selina Brown?"
19015By the way, did you look at the bulletin board on your way upstairs?"
19015By''it''do you mean yourself?"
19015CHAPTER II A COUNCIL OF WAR"What does it all mean?
19015Ca n''t we blot it out and begin over again?"
19015Can you prove them?"
19015Can you think of any reason for it?"
19015Did I guess right?"
19015Did you know it?
19015Did you know that Edith Hammond is n''t coming back?"
19015Did you know that?"
19015Did you resign because you considered that Miss Stearns had been unfairly treated at the try- out?"
19015Did you want Mrs. Weatherbee?
19015Do n''t you remember?
19015Do n''t you think so?"
19015Do you hear me?
19015Do you know her?"
19015Do you know of any others?"
19015Do you not?"
19015Do you remember how haughty you were when you found out you were to room with little Judy?"
19015Do you think it is?
19015Does n''t old Wellington look fine, though, Jane?"
19015Glancing at the disturbing letter which she held she handed it to Mrs. Weatherbee with:"What shall you do about this letter?"
19015Going over to where Ethel stood, Jane anxiously asked:"Did you see Alicia, Ethel?"
19015Have you forgotten that?"
19015Have you seen Christine Ellis or Barbara Temple yet?
19015Have you the envelope?
19015Have you then no shame to be thus so small-- so contemptible?"
19015Honestly, Jane, do you think Marian will behave like a donkey?"
19015How about it, girls?"
19015How are we going to get word to Alicia?
19015How can Miss Rutledge ask me to replace Marian after that?
19015I now ask you and I demand a truthful answer, which of you two overheard that conversation?"
19015I was a big goose, was n''t I?"
19015I wonder if she ever found her ring?"
19015I wonder who escorted our noble little friend?
19015If we give you our word of honor to let Judith Stearns and her crowd alone, is n''t that sufficient?"
19015In that case, why did you not order the game resumed, especially to test out these two players?
19015Is Mary Ashton here?
19015Is n''t it funny, though?
19015It was about three of you girls; Miss Allen, Miss Dupree and Miss Stearns, and----""About us?"
19015It''s all horrid, is n''t it?
19015Jane, do you believe it was the ignoble Noble who overheard us talking that night?"
19015Let me have at least one worthy object in life, wo n''t you?"
19015Meanwhile, out on the veranda, Adrienne was remarking under her breath to Jane:"Did you observe the face of Marian Seaton?
19015Miss Gilbert, were you also a party to this affair?"
19015Miss Stearns, do you or do you not deny that you and Miss Allen held the conversation Miss Seaton accuses you of holding?"
19015Must I then appear in my classes draped like the ghost?''"
19015Nevertheless, Adrienne''s accusing question,"Have you then no shame to be thus so small; so contemptible?"
19015Now what did she mean by that?"
19015Now which hand will you choose?"
19015Perhaps two dozen?
19015Quite a little like a nightmare, is n''t it?"
19015Shall I go on mending my pet blouse that''s falling to pieces altogether too fast to suit me, or drop it and go gallivanting off with you?"
19015Shall we not, Jeanne?"
19015She was now at odds with one of the most popular girls at Wellington, and what had she gained?
19015She''s awfully pretty, is n''t she?"
19015She----""Oh, what''s the use in speculating?"
19015That clears me, does n''t it?"
19015The first is:''How did you happen to overhear the private conversation between Miss Lacey and myself that you repeated so incorrectly to Alicia?''
19015The question is,''How did she get it?''"
19015The second is:''How did you know that we intended to invite the Bridge Street girls to the freshman frolic?''
19015Then where would you be?
19015They marched her in triumph twice around the gymnasium to the cheering, ringing accompaniment of"Who''s Jane Allen?
19015Too bad, is n''t it, that they should so deliberately set their faces against right?"
19015Training for a walking match?"
19015Walking straight over to her cousin, she asked furiously:"Where were you this evening?"
19015Want to come along?"
19015Was it Dorothy, I wonder?
19015Was it possible, she wondered, that there might be truth in Marian''s accusation?
19015Was it she who had told Mrs. Weatherbee about the letter?
19015Was n''t she, Jane?"
19015Was n''t that nice in her?
19015Was this a forerunner of what the rest of her sophomore days were destined to be?
19015Weatherbee?"
19015Were you both satisfied in your own minds that Miss Seaton was the better player?"
19015What about Elsie?"
19015What did she say?"
19015What had happened?
19015What have I done to deserve such treatment?"
19015What in the world are you going to do with two horses?"
19015What luck have you had, Norma?"
19015What made Marian Seaton resign from the team, and why does Miss Rutledge want me to take her place?
19015What of the dance?
19015What postmark was stamped upon it?"
19015What''s happened?"
19015Where did you get him?
19015Where do they live, Norma?"
19015Where is it?"
19015Where''s Ethel?"
19015Where''s Imp?"
19015Whither away?"
19015Who is this Alicia Reynolds?"
19015Who is your roommate?"
19015Who then is to blame?"
19015Who''s back, Judy?
19015Why did you say to that old dragon that she''d been kinder to us than we deserved?
19015Why do you ask?"
19015Why had Judy insisted that they must have a talk before going on to the Hall?
19015Why not?
19015Why should I?
19015Why should you shield a girl who is trying to injure you?"
19015Will you reconsider your resignation?"
19015With a chuckle she added:"Why not challenge Marian Seaton to a duel and demolish her?
19015Wo n''t that be nice?
19015Wo n''t you let me look after them both?
19015Wo n''t you?
19015Would it not be the humiliating thing for our_ pauvre Jeanne_ to return and be refused the admittance?"
19015Would n''t that be a glorious revenge?"
19015Would n''t that be nice?"
19015Would she be obliged eventually to descend to Marian''s level and fight her with her own weapons?
19015You can imagine me confessing anything like that to Miss Rutledge, now ca n''t you?"
19015You know what I mean?"
19015_ N''est ce pas?_"She turned to her listeners for corroboration.
20473''Sing, sing, what shall I sing?''
20473''Will you, wo n''t you, will you, wo n''t you, Come and join the dance?''
20473A threat?
20473Are n''t we, Grace?
20473Are n''t you afraid that a''list''may cause jealousy and ill- feeling on the part of certain girls who are not included in it?
20473Arline, dear child, whatever is the matter?
20473But did n''t that make some of the people about whom the stories were written very unhappy?
20473But how did Miss West find it out?
20473But to go back to the subject of the door, what makes you think Grace locked it on account of last year?
20473But why did she dislike us?
20473But why did they lock their door?
20473But why do you wish so much for a college education when you are already successful as a newspaper woman?
20473But will you come to my tea party?
20473Ca n''t you walk over to the house with me? 20473 Can I believe my ears?
20473Can you bear good news?
20473Can you say that and really mean it?
20473Come in,she said shortly, then in a sarcastic tone,"Shall I close the door?"
20473Could n''t we arrange some kind of entertainment to take place before we all go?
20473Dare not?
20473Did he materialize?
20473Did n''t Miss Dean tell you?
20473Did n''t you know, Arline, that the Dean messenger service is absolutely unreliable? 20473 Did you believe for one instant that we would n''t stand by you no matter what you planned to do?
20473Did you hear some one cough, Arline?
20473Did you receive my message?
20473Did you say you had won prizes as a champion fast walker?
20473Do n''t I always give you things to eat when everyone else laughs at you?
20473Do n''t suppose what?
20473Do n''t we always come to see you when we are home from college?
20473Do n''t you love Overton, Miss Wicks?
20473Do the boys know about bringing their presents here?
20473Do you care if I take my magazine along? 20473 Do you like college, Miss West?"
20473Do you recognize it?
20473Do you suppose her father is really dead?
20473Do you want me to go on about my business?
20473Does Miss West know that Mabel is coming to Overton for Thanksgiving?
20473Does n''t it look exactly like Christmas?
20473Does n''t it seem strange not to be on the team this year, Miriam?
20473Does n''t it seem wonderful to think that girls can be so splendidly impersonal and honorable?
20473Elfreda, you will take care of Arline, wo n''t you? 20473 Girls, do you suppose Mabel and Miss West are really friends?"
20473Glad of what?
20473Grace Harlowe,demanded Elfreda with asperity,"have you suddenly taken leave of your senses?"
20473Had you?
20473Has n''t Anne come home yet?
20473Have n''t you any suggestions?
20473Have you seen Jessica this morning, Nora?
20473How are you?
20473How can I ever forgive myself for neglecting you so long? 20473 How can it?
20473How can you break in upon our rapt musings with such commonplaces?
20473How could Miss West be so spiteful?
20473How did Miss West happen to meet them?
20473How did Miss West meet whom? 20473 How did you happen to find me?"
20473How do you know it''s a scarf pin?
20473How long have you known Mabel Ashe?
20473How on earth did you ever get into that affair, and who made it?
20473How shall I know him, Grace, and how will he know me?
20473I mean, was n''t I a goose to buy it? 20473 I wonder if the snow in the road is very deep?"
20473I wonder where they have gone?
20473I wonder who this can be from? 20473 I wonder why Grace and Anne have n''t paid us a call this morning?"
20473If you are not too busy, can you spare Miss Briggs and me a few moments? 20473 In spite of belonging to the most important sorority in college, there never will be another sorority like the Phi Sigma Tau, will there, girls?"
20473Is it anything about me or about the club?
20473Is it not a very gran''letter?
20473Is n''t he too ridiculous for anything?
20473Is n''t it fortunate, Anne, that our commencement happened a week before that of the boys? 20473 Is n''t it funny?"
20473Is n''t it magnificent?
20473Is n''t it, though?
20473Is n''t she, though?
20473Is that a threat?
20473Is the mere idea of being seniors going to your heads?
20473Is there any particular friend of either of these girls that we have forgotten to include?
20473It requires a great deal of diplomacy to make sandwiches, does n''t it, Elfreda?
20473It''s a beauty, is n''t it?
20473Jessica and Reddy, will you take me home to- night?
20473Keep it in mind, and if you think of anything let me know instantly, wo n''t you?
20473MY DEAR MISS HARLOWE:--What can I say to you who have sent me the most welcome message I ever received?
20473May I escort you to the table?
20473May I see the note again, Miss Wilder?
20473Meet whom?
20473Never forgot it, did you, Jean?
20473Not here?
20473Nothing like being disinterested, is there?
20473Now I wish we were going home, do n''t you, Grace?
20473Now I wonder what she has on her mind?
20473Now what have you forgotten to do?
20473Of what are you talking?
20473Oh, Mrs. Elwood,she cried,"have you seen Grace and Anne?
20473Oh, now,protested Elfreda,"what made you spoil everything?
20473Quarrelsome? 20473 Really?"
20473Ruth,she said gently,"if you might have one wish granted to you, what would you wish?"
20473Say, Hippopotamus,called Tom,"what''s your favorite fairy tale?"
20473Shall I leave you here?
20473Shall it be a sweetly sentimental ditty, or shall I sing of brooks and meadows, fields and flowers?
20473Shall you tell Ruth?
20473She is becoming one of the important girls in college, is n''t she?
20473She is very pretty, is n''t she? 20473 Sounds like a page from a best seller, does n''t it, Grace?"
20473The sound came from in here, did n''t it?
20473Then how did Ruth come by the watch and letter?
20473Then, who made it?
20473Then, why not sing it?
20473There is nothing like absolute freedom of speech, is there?
20473They will always seem just boys to us, wo n''t they?
20473Too bad she could n''t stay with us and go to the game, is n''t it?
20473Was n''t she formidable, though, when she slammed the door in our faces?
20473We ca n''t do anything until we find the girl who listened, and the question is how are we to find her?
20473We had better have different kinds of sandwiches, olives and pickles, and what else?
20473Well, what about her?
20473Well, what do you think of her?
20473Were you talking secrets?
20473What about who?
20473What about your fairy prince?
20473What are we going to have to eat?
20473What do you mean by''scoop the other papers''?
20473What do you mean?
20473What do you suppose it means?
20473What do you think of Miss West, Anne?
20473What do you think of him?
20473What do you think of that?
20473What do you think?
20473What does Ruth say?
20473What does this look like to you, Elfreda?
20473What happened last night?
20473What is Oakdale without Anne?
20473What is going on in here?
20473What is it?
20473What is on your mind now?
20473What is the matter with us?
20473What made you suspect me?
20473What manner of woman have we here?
20473What of Kathleen West?
20473What on earth is an''Alice in Wonderland booth''?
20473What shall we do?
20473What was it?
20473What would you do?
20473What''Christmas business''?
20473What''s the matter?
20473What''s the use in asking me anything when Miriam is here?
20473What, this?
20473When and where did you find it, Elfreda?
20473Where did you see them?
20473Where do you suppose she heard the news, and who told her? 20473 Where have you been of late?
20473Where was I?
20473Where''s Miriam?
20473Which one?
20473Who are you?
20473Who is going to play on the junior team this year?
20473Who is old Jean?
20473Who is she?
20473Who told you about it?
20473Whoever heard of proud little Daffydowndilly Thayer crying like an ordinary mortal?
20473Why are you afraid of them, Alberta?
20473Why did n''t you close the door?
20473Why do you ask? 20473 Why does n''t some one sing?"
20473Why not go downstairs and sit on the back veranda with Mrs. Elwood? 20473 Why not have a talk with Miss Barlow?"
20473Why not make it an''Alice in Wonderland Circus,''and have all the animals perform?
20473Why on earth did n''t they tell us they were going? 20473 Why should n''t I light it?"
20473Why, how did you know? 20473 Why?
20473With my father?
20473Wo n''t it be splendid to have her with us?
20473Would n''t it be splendid if he were to come here in time to see Ruth usher at commencement?
20473Would n''t it be wonderful if Ruth should find her father?
20473Yes, do n''t you remember the Anarchist?
20473You know very welldeclared Elfreda;"but, if I must be explicit, what do you think of Miss West now?"
20473You mean she is tricky, do n''t you?
20473You told me, do n''t you remember?
20473You, too, Anne?
20473All of a sudden I heard some one say,''Why did n''t you bring your Sphinx costume along, Miss Dean?''
20473And now you are afraid she will find you out, are n''t you?
20473And to think Ruth''s father has actually materialized and is coming to Overton?
20473Are we likely to be interrupted?"
20473At what time are we to be fed and are the meals good?
20473But what does Jean care for money?
20473But you can see how things are, ca n''t you?"
20473But, first of all, has Kathleen West been here to see you within the past half hour?"
20473But,"said Arline, a puzzled look creeping into her eyes,"if you did n''t receive my message, how did you happen to be in the dean''s office?"
20473By the way, would any of you like to hear the rest of my story?"
20473By whom did you send it?"
20473CHAPTER XIII ARLINE MAKES THE BEST OF A BAD MATTER"What shall we do for our eight girls this year?"
20473CHAPTER XV A TISSUE PAPER TEA"What in the name of all mysterious is going on between you and Alice- In- Wonderland Daffydowndilly Thayer?"
20473Can she make good?
20473Could it be possible that the same hand had written the second note?
20473Could this be the sneering, insolent Miss Wicks who was speaking?
20473Denton?"
20473Did you come to help me cook supper?
20473Did you get my message?
20473Did you have a nice time, dear, and what did you cook for supper?"
20473Did you receive my note?"
20473Do any of you know that exquisite little freshman with the big blue eyes who rooms at Mortimer Hall?"
20473Do n''t you remember?
20473Do n''t you think so?"
20473Do n''t you think so?"
20473Do you suppose it is because I have a quarrelsome disposition?"
20473Grace read the note through twice, then, looking squarely at the dean, she said:"May I see the enclosed list?"
20473Have you decided on your programme for the week yet?"
20473Have you eaten yours?
20473Have you met my father?"
20473How are you going to propose the dinner plan, Arline?"
20473How could any one help liking you?
20473How did Emma happen to think of her, let alone getting her up?"
20473How did she become so friendly with Alberta Wicks and Mary Hampton?
20473I believe it is, if you say so, Grace, but why does n''t she display common sense enough to settle down and obey the rules of the college?
20473I could see last year that----""Is there anything you ca n''t see?"
20473I think the idea is simply great, do n''t you?"
20473I wonder how long she has known Mabel Ashe?
20473I wonder if she realizes that he really loves her, and that he will some day tell her so?
20473Is n''t Leonard B. Thayer your father?"
20473Is n''t Miriam a goose and a dear all rolled into one?
20473Is n''t it a beauty?
20473Is n''t it a glorious day, though?
20473Is there any one who would love to help me upstairs with my things?"
20473It seems such a shame that mid- years had to come skulking along on the very heels of Christmas, does n''t it?"
20473It was so fortunate I met her, was n''t it?"
20473Just forget that I said it, will you?"
20473Now, is there anything else you want to know?"
20473Oh, Grace, do n''t look at her now, but who is that girl just sitting down at that end table?
20473Oh, Ruth, is n''t he splendid?
20473Oh, are n''t you glad you''re going home?
20473Oh, did I tell you?
20473Rather realistic, are n''t they?
20473Ready?"
20473Shall we send the eight girls gifts or a present of money this year, or both?"
20473Shall we sit in the mission alcove for luncheon?
20473Shall you have a play or anything afterward?"
20473Shall you tell Ruth?
20473She must be very popular?"
20473She thinks he was unable to come, and wo n''t she be surprised when he appears to escort her to our house?"
20473Sounds like a grand opera announcement, does n''t it?
20473Sphinxes are supposed to be shrouded in mystery, are n''t they?"
20473Suppose my father were to lose all his money and I could n''t even come back to college next year?
20473That does n''t sound much like wasting my year, does it?"
20473That reminds me, Arline, are n''t you and Ruth coming home with me for the Easter vacation?
20473That sounds conceited, does n''t it?
20473The Range and Grange Hustlers By FRANK GEE PATCHIN Have you any idea of the excitements, the glories of life on great ranches in the West?
20473The concert given by your club last year was a most enjoyable affair and proved very profitable to the club, did it not?"
20473Then what lay beyond?
20473Then, why should I hold spite or nurse a grievance?
20473There are so many nice things to remember that one little unpleasantness does n''t count, does it?"
20473This did not hinder him from joining his friend, the Griffon, in"Wo n''t You Join the Dance?"
20473To change the subject, when shall we call a meeting of the bazaar specialists?
20473Under the circumstances, do n''t you think you might destroy this page and the others?"
20473Was n''t I a goose?"
20473Was n''t it nice to think we were all asked?"
20473We are both saved this time, are n''t we, Grace?"
20473What do you say, Huntsman Gray?"
20473What do you think of that?"
20473What do you think, Jean?"
20473What has happened?"
20473What makes you look so funny?"
20473What shall I tell Mabel when she asks me about her?
20473What shall we have, and what do we do to draw a crowd?"
20473What''s the matter, Grace?
20473When did you receive the letter, Grace?"
20473Where have you been hiding?
20473Which way are you girls going?"
20473Who dares say I am disloyal?"
20473Who is going with you to tell her, and when are you going?"
20473Why not let Reddy live?"
20473Will I ever learn to keep my door closed and either whisper my secrets or else lock them behind my lips?"
20473Will Mamselle Grace read?"
20473Will you and Ruth meet me?
20473Will you ask her to meet us at the gymnasium on Monday at five o''clock?
20473Will you give me Mr. Denton''s address and allow me to write to him, Jean?"
20473Will you meet me at the station at a quarter- past two o''clock, or can you stop for me at the Hall?"
20473Will you telephone for the expressman, Anne?"
20473Will you write the notice to- night?
20473Wo n''t that be splendid?"
20473Would n''t that be splendid?"
20473You can take our new cups and saucers, too, ca n''t she, Miriam?
20473You do n''t mean Julia Crosby?"
20473Your promises to her did n''t hold water, did they?
20473exclaimed Grace,"what is the matter with you to- night?
20473she cried, her face alight:"Ca n''t you guess?
20474A dillar, a dollar, a ten- o''clock scholar, Oh, why did you come so soon?
20474Am I?
20474An''will I tell her you was askin''for her, Miss?
20474And then what?
20474And what has J. Elfreda Briggs on her mind?
20474And you are going?
20474Are all the rooms taken?
20474Are n''t you a freshman? 20474 Are n''t you glad every one''s here, and things have begun to happen again, Ruth?"
20474Are n''t you going to chapel this morning, Grace?
20474Are n''t you pleased with us, Father, and wo n''t you feel inordinately proud of your theatre party?
20474Are you happy, Anne?
20474Are you sure you really want me? 20474 Are you the Chief of Police, and may we come into your office for a moment?"
20474Arline,Grace''s tone caused her friend to eye her sharply,"do you suppose we ought to ask Kathleen West to join our club?"
20474As there is no particular business to be transacted,announced Arline,"what is the pleasure of the class?
20474But to give Emma Dean and her wonderful ability as a playwright a rest, what is new?
20474But what of Miss West?
20474But where is Anne?
20474Can you realize, Anne, that we are almost at the end of our college days?
20474Did I say it would, my child?
20474Did Miss West ask for a single?
20474Did n''t I say so last year?
20474Did she leave word when she would return?
20474Did we ever tell you about it?
20474Did you imagine no one would miss you?
20474Did you know he had escaped?
20474Did you know that Anne could have gone with them if she had been willing to put off her graduation for another year?
20474Did you say this was your last year in college?
20474Did you see today''s paper?
20474Do n''t you approve of newspaper work for women?
20474Do n''t you suppose I noticed that you were worried about not hearing from Mabel? 20474 Do you believe that I would accept anything from you?"
20474Do you care if I do n''t wait for you in the telegraph office?
20474Do you hear? 20474 Do you mean that any member of the senior class may compete, not for a money prize, but for the honor alone?"
20474Do you really mean that, Grace?
20474Do you really mean that?
20474Do you really want to know who''Peter Rabbit''was?
20474Do you remember my saying when you asked me to go to the theater that I had a faint recollection of having another engagement last night?
20474Do you wish me to give you a piece of good advice?
20474Do you?
20474Does n''t Emma Dean look too ridiculous for words?
20474Does n''t it sound exactly as she talks?
20474Emma Dean? 20474 Even Sherlock is all at sea, are n''t you, Brother Holmes?"
20474Fairy godfather is a good name for Mr. Redfield, is n''t it?
20474From you?
20474Grace Harlowe, what has come over you?
20474Grace, Grace, you naughty girl, where have you been?
20474Grace, can you ever forgive me for all the trouble I have caused you?
20474Grace, what on earth have you been doing?
20474Have I transgressed the law lately, or had any arguments with Grace? 20474 Have you no respect for our feelings?"
20474Have you seen her since last night?
20474Hippy Wingate, when will you be sensible?
20474Hippy, how could you?
20474How are you getting on with your play, Emma?
20474How can you be sure he is the man if you have never seen him?
20474How could we blast such touching faith?
20474How did you guess it?
20474How did you know it?
20474How did you know?
20474How do I find out everything I know?
20474How do you happen to know so much about what counts on a newspaper?
20474How long has this unpleasant state of affairs been going on?
20474How many nights have you stayed quietly at home this week?
20474I could please the populace and myself at the same time by taking your advice, could n''t I?
20474I do n''t believe,began Emma doubtfully,"that we----What do you say, Grace?
20474I wonder what Mrs. Gray was talking about to Professor Morton, Miss Wilder and our fairy godfather?
20474I wonder what became of''Peter Rabbit''?
20474If David asked me to marry him?
20474Is it anything about lessons?
20474Is n''t he a perfect angel?
20474Is n''t he just too splendid for words, Anne?
20474Is n''t it a pity the Southards are n''t here this winter?
20474Is n''t it obliging of the weather to stay so nice and warm? 20474 Is n''t it too bad we never thought of doing this before?"
20474Is she at home, or not?
20474Is she sixteen or twenty- three?
20474It ca n''t be beaten, can it?
20474It is simply a case of good material going to waste, is n''t it?
20474It sounds like a discussion between the March Hare and the Mad Hatter, does n''t it?
20474It was a great honor for Mr. Southard to have such a flattering offer from that great English manager, was n''t it?
20474It was funny, was n''t it?
20474May I come to see you soon?
20474Oh, are we going to church this morning?
20474Oh, why was n''t I with you?
20474Shall I give you an imitation of Kathleen West''s return?
20474Shall I invite some of the other girls, or shall we four celebrate in solitary state?
20474Shall we meet here?
20474Since your curiosity has reached such a height, why do n''t you ask Miss Wilder to tell you the why s and wherefores of this startling affair?
20474Suppose you and Elfreda call on her, Miriam?
20474That sounded exactly like Hippy, did n''t it?
20474The announcement is to be made to- morrow is n''t it?
20474Then it did n''t turn out well?
20474Then we do n''t need to become alarmed, do we?
20474Then what made you look at me so strangely?
20474There is nothing like perfect frankness, is there?
20474There, what did I tell you?
20474This is from the much- worshipped Miss Ashe, is n''t it?
20474To what do I owe my good fortune?
20474Was Miss Rawle here?
20474We never have this kind of Thanksgiving weather in Oakdale, do we, Grace?
20474Well, what did she say?
20474Were you at the window?
20474What about Patience?
20474What are the latest developments in the campus mystery, Professor Holmes?
20474What are you girls going to do this evening?
20474What can I do for you, young ladies?
20474What did I tell you?
20474What did you do here on Thanksgiving?
20474What do I think of her?
20474What do you find so mysterious in the fact that Mrs. Gray held discourse with the powers that be?
20474What do you know about Campfire girls?
20474What great event?
20474What in the name of common sense is this illustrious combination?
20474What is a Famous Fiction masquerade?
20474What is it, my dear?
20474What is it?
20474What is it?
20474What is on your mind now?
20474What is the latest word from erring freshmen? 20474 What is the use in our calling ourselves Semper Fidelis and then going back on our principles?
20474What made you keep it a secret?
20474What on earth is the cause of all this jubilation?
20474What ought we to do? 20474 What seems to be the trouble here?"
20474What shall I do?
20474What style of entertainment do you prefer?
20474What was that?
20474What''s an''honor competition affair''?
20474When shall we give it?
20474Where is Grace?
20474Where is Patience?
20474Where is she?
20474Where''s Patience?
20474Which paper?
20474Which will you choose, to room together or alone?
20474Who are you, and what is the trouble?
20474Who is included in''we''?
20474Who is it?
20474Who is''Peter Rabbit''; or, the Mystery of the''Blue Jacket''?
20474Who knows what this night may bring forth? 20474 Who organized Semper Fidelis and who was the first person to think of our Christmas girls?"
20474Whose fault is it?
20474Why are you so bitter against Kathleen?
20474Why did n''t she unmask with the rest of us?
20474Why did n''t she?
20474Why did n''t you go to New York?
20474Why did they call themselves the''Meadow- Brook Girls''?
20474Why do n''t you finish?
20474Why do n''t you go down to the railroad yard and put in your application, then?
20474Why do n''t you speak plainly and say what you mean?
20474Why not give the Wonderland Circus just for her?
20474Why not give the four classes a chance, and make it a competition worth remembering?
20474Why not have the masquerade next Monday evening? 20474 Why not put off the evil day?
20474Why wo n''t you tell me what happened?
20474Why, how did you know that?
20474Will surprises never cease?
20474Will you girls go with me?
20474Will you kindly take your hands off my shoulders and attend to your own affairs?
20474Will you shake hands?
20474Would it surprise you to hear me say that I am inclined to endorse what you have just said?
20474Would n''t it be funny if it were the greatly desired freshman, Miss West''s other half?
20474Would you like a real news item for your paper?
20474You are on the play committee, are n''t you?
20474You are very fond of Miss West, are n''t you?
20474You could see that, could n''t you, Elfreda?
20474You have n''t given your class cause to admire you, have you?
20474You have no personal grievance against her, have you?
20474You knew what we liked, did n''t you, Emma?
20474You mean Miss Rawle?
20474You mean the night of the ghost party, do n''t you?
20474You never forget anything, do you, Miriam? 20474 You saw him?"
20474You wo n''t object if the editor of our paper knows, though, will you? 20474 A light knock on the door, accompanied by,May I come in?"
20474A moment later she heard the maid say:"Miss Harlowe?
20474Are all of you hungry?"
20474Are you going to stay until next Wednesday?
20474But first let me ask: Did you see that New York newspaper story?
20474But it would n''t hinder you from writing one, would it?"
20474But to go back to the object of our council, what are we to do in the case of Miss West?"
20474But what about your roommate?
20474But who is''Peter Rabbit''?"
20474But why did you ask me if I could write a play, Emma?"
20474CHAPTER III AN ACCIDENT AND A SURPRISE"Well, what do you think of her?"
20474CHAPTER VII WHEN FRIENDS FALL OUT"What has happened to the Semper Fidelis Club?
20474CHAPTER XXI WHO WILL WIN THE HONOR PIN?
20474Ca n''t you see?
20474Can you imagine me in tears?"
20474Could it be possible that Mabel had heard unkind, untruthful tales of her from the newspaper girl?
20474Could this be the antagonistic Kathleen West of a few weeks ago?
20474Did n''t you see the notice on the big bulletin board this morning?"
20474Did such a worthy organization ever exist, or did I merely dream?"
20474Do n''t you approve of my evening''s work?
20474Do n''t you imagine it will make a good newspaper story if the police capture him?"
20474Do n''t you remember my Hallowe''en party, and what a time we had squeezing in here?"
20474Do n''t you think we had better put our wraps away and convene?
20474Do you understand?
20474Does any one know from whence she came, and why?"
20474Does n''t she look beautiful?"
20474During the first part of Hugo''s famous novel, which had been filmed to perfection, Grace was obsessed with the question:"Where have I seen him?"
20474Has any one heard?"
20474How about chapel this morning?
20474How about you, Grace and Anne?"
20474How did you happen to think of coming to Overton?
20474How is that for a stunt?"
20474How is your father?"
20474I know that your intentions were good, above reproach, no doubt, but how many times have I cautioned you to go slowly?
20474I was hard at work on my Horace, when suddenly she said,''Oh, what''s the use?''
20474I wonder why Mother does n''t write?
20474Is n''t he the fairy godfather of Semper Fidelis and did n''t I give him that name after he sent us the first check?"
20474Is n''t it splendid to think you and Ruth can be together this year?"
20474Is n''t that a brilliant idea?
20474Is n''t that realistic?
20474Is n''t that true, Anne?"
20474Is there any reason why I ca n''t go?
20474It is going to be lots of fun, is n''t it?
20474It was a beautiful play, was n''t it?"
20474It would be simply splendid to glide peacefully through the rest of one''s senior year without a single hitch, would n''t it?"
20474It''s one of the vicissitudes of an actor''s life, is n''t it, Anne?"
20474Patience, will you accept me for a roommate?"
20474Put two and two together, what is the result?
20474Rather unkind in her, was n''t it?"
20474Shall I tell her?
20474Shall we head for Livingstone Hall?"
20474She is a delightful girl, is n''t she?"
20474She regarded Grace with an intent gaze that made the latter ask quickly:"What is the matter, Miriam?
20474Should she notify the Overton authorities of her discovery?
20474Suppose we ask that poor old woman who keeps the little shop just beyond the campus to order our masks?
20474Suppose we gather the club in, and go to see''Les Miserables''in a body?"
20474That''s what councils do, is n''t it?"
20474The Range and Grange Hustlers By FRANK GEE PATCHIN Have you any idea of the excitements, the glories of life or great ranches in the West?
20474The question is, ought I to make my discovery known to the police?"
20474Then, meeting Patience''s calm glance, she said slowly,"Do you mean that I force myself upon her?"
20474Then, turning upon Patience, she said in a voice shaking with sudden anger:"What do you mean by asking me such a question?
20474There, does that make you feel better?"
20474There, that is n''t very definite, is it?
20474They were born trouble- makers, were n''t they?"
20474Was it at Overton she had seen him?
20474Was n''t I a vandal?"
20474What about all newspaper assignments?"
20474What are you all laughing at?"
20474What did she say?"
20474What did you say?"
20474What do you know of the requirements of my paper, or of the style in which a story should be written?
20474What do you think?"
20474What garret is not full of antiques?"
20474What girl does not welcome the very idea of a real dance to the notes of a real orchestra?
20474What had wrought this marvelous and unlooked- for change?
20474What has happened to you to make you cry so?"
20474What is the object of this class meeting?"
20474When is the honor prize to be presented to her?"
20474When we organized this club, we did n''t make any conditions as to who should be helped and who should n''t, did we?
20474Where are your faithful three?"
20474Where was I?
20474Who Will Win the Honor Pin?
20474Who and what are you, Emma?"
20474Who could guess that Grace was representing a hearth?
20474Why could n''t you girls make up a party and spend Thanksgiving with me?
20474Why could you not have written a clever, interesting story without betraying my confidence?"
20474Why was the face of this man so familiar to her?
20474Will the person or persons responsible for the notice on the bulletin board please rise and enlighten the class as to why we are here?"
20474Will you all agree to help if I think of something startlingly worth while?"
20474Will you come into our room as often as you can and forgive me for staying away from yours?"
20474Will you come with me, Patience?"
20474Will you forget that I am Grace Harlowe and listen to me?"
20474Will you forswear business and help me entertain the girls to- morrow?"
20474Will you please begin?"
20474Will you please come downstairs and sign for it?"
20474Without raising her head, she faltered,"Is it you, Grace?"
20474Without stopping to choose her words, Grace cried out:"How could you do it?
20474Wo n''t you come in?"
20474Wo n''t you please be the''extra- delightful girl''and say you''ll go?"
20474Wo n''t you please tell me all about it?"
20474Would n''t she be angry if she knew?
20474Would you mind if I were to come and see you some time, and wo n''t you take luncheon with me some day at Vinton''s?"
20474Yet was it right to withhold her knowledge?
20474You wo n''t care if I go on upstairs, will you, Grace?"
20474You would not wish your daughter''s name to be used in police court news, would you?"
20474Your friends never forget to ask for you, and every day brings its,''Is Grace coming home for the holidays?''
6858''How can I bear to leave thee?''
6858''Tell me, Sister Anne, do you see anything?''
6858And the letter?
6858And what?
6858Anne,she said so abruptly that Anne looked at her in surprise,"did you notice anything peculiar about Miss Taylor?
6858Any one at home?
6858Are you coming down to the train to- morrow morning to see us off?
6858Are you to have the same rooms as last year?
6858At what time?
6858Blame you?
6858But suppose Alberta Wicks or Mary Hampton heard of it? 6858 But what about my five hundred dollars?"
6858But what is it she wishes to hide?
6858Ca n''t you tell me what troubles you?
6858Can I do anything for you?
6858Can all of you girls come to our room next Friday evening? 6858 Can you remember how you looked when you were little, Elfreda?"
6858Could n''t we do something nice for them before we go?
6858Could n''t you''see''that she liked you?
6858Counsel for the defense, have you anything to say? 6858 Defendant number two, what did you think of Arline Thayer?"
6858Did I tell you I was taking chemistry this year? 6858 Did n''t Miss Dean tell you we had arrived?"
6858Did we, Nora?
6858Did you ask Miss Atkins?
6858Did you ever find the girl?
6858Did you ever see her?
6858Did you play''Needle''s eye''when you were a little girl, Elfreda?
6858Did you wish to speak to me, Miss Duncan?
6858Do n''t we always see you off on the train whenever you go back to school before we do?
6858Do n''t you know the name of the town in Nevada where he first lived?
6858Do n''t you suppose I know that?
6858Do you girls happen to know where she spent her vacation?
6858Do you know whether 19-- is all here yet?
6858Do you really believe she will accept your invitation, Elfreda?
6858Do you recognize the hand- writing?
6858Do you remember saying to me the night before we went home that you had thought of a lovely plan?
6858Do you suppose she has been taken suddenly ill?
6858Do you think there would be any prospect of my getting it done?
6858Do you think we had better?
6858Do you think we ought to wait for her?
6858Do you wait here for your dinner partner or does she call for you?
6858Do you?
6858Does any one know the time?
6858Does n''t Miriam look stunning to- night? 6858 Does she really like me?"
6858For me?
6858Has the board of directors been holding a meeting? 6858 Have you any engagement for Saturday afternoon?
6858Have you anything to say to me, Miss Harlowe?
6858Have you finished your work for to- night?
6858Have you seen Elfreda?
6858Have you seen to your flowers for your freshman? 6858 Her name is the same as that of Savelli, the great virtuoso, is n''t it?"
6858How are you getting along with Miss Atkins?
6858How can I ever forgive myself for being so horrid? 6858 How can they be offended if we send the things anonymously?"
6858How can we manage to deliver this stuff without being seen?
6858How can you tear me away now? 6858 How dared you?"
6858How did he happen to stray into Overton?
6858How did it happen?
6858How did you guess it?
6858How did you guess it?
6858How did you guess so much? 6858 How did you happen to be her confessor, Miriam?"
6858How do you do?
6858How do you know that it was dropped into the box the evening before?
6858How do you know?
6858How do you like the way I fixed your room this year?
6858How much have you?
6858I managed her once before, did n''t I? 6858 I must wait to see Mrs. Elwood, but will you tell me your name, please?"
6858I wish Eleanor were here, do n''t you, Grace? 6858 I wonder if Ruth is going?"
6858I would n''t have thought about that last year, would I, Grace?
6858If she accused me of taking her theme from her room, is n''t it highly probable that her room is in Wayne Hall? 6858 If you had what?"
6858Is it necessary that you should know?
6858Is n''t it strange how much influence for good one girl can have over another? 6858 Is n''t this enough to discourage the most valiant heart?"
6858Is she?
6858Is that your hand- writing?
6858Is there any one at Wayne Hall who would be likely to have the right kind of influence?
6858Is there any reason why I should not occupy this room alone?
6858Is there any writing on it?
6858Is this theme,pointing to the one Grace still held,"the one you say you lost?"
6858Is this your writing?
6858It does n''t seem as though we''d been back at Overton for three weeks, does it?
6858It is too bad to begin one''s sophomore year by cutting two Overton girls, is n''t it?
6858It seems almost providential, does n''t it?
6858It was lots of fun, was n''t it?
6858It''s Miss Wicks and Miss Hampton, is n''t it?
6858Let me see, what track team did you say you belonged to?
6858Man, do you mean to insinuate that I am not what I seem?
6858May I read it?
6858May I tell her and Anne?
6858Now had n''t we better hurry home and make up the rest of the programme?
6858Now, Ruth, what have you to say for yourself?
6858Of course I did n''t mean to,apologized Elfreda,"You know that, do n''t you, Miriam?
6858Of whom did Elfreda remind you just then, Grace?
6858Oh, Eleanor, could you, would you do it?
6858Oh, Eleanor, do n''t you think you can go home with me for Easter? 6858 Our life at Overton, you mean?"
6858Really?
6858Reddy, how can you thus ruthlessly belittle my tenderest hope, my fondest ambitions? 6858 See here, Grace Harlowe, you are not going to give up your room to that beetle- browed anarchist, are you?"
6858Shall I run up and ask her?
6858Shall I tell Miss Pierson that you are ill?
6858Shall we go and see?
6858Shall we go now?
6858Shall we make it strictly a sophomore affair?
6858Shall we sit down here and begin? 6858 Shall we start at once?"
6858She''s a courageous Ruth, is n''t she?
6858Strange you never found out about that, is n''t it?
6858Suppose both of them arrive at Vinton''s before we do?
6858Suppose we go over to Wayne Hall now? 6858 Tell us what you mean by''certain things''?"
6858That reminds me, what has become of Arline and Ruth? 6858 That was equivalent to accusing the Anarchist of stubbornness, was n''t it?"
6858The important question is what can we do to earn money for our cause?
6858The question is, What are we going to do next year without you?
6858The thing to decide now is, shall we or shall we not form this society? 6858 Then who shall the other two members be?"
6858Then you do n''t know who she has invited to the reception?
6858Then you have n''t any case, have you?
6858Vinton''s?
6858Was she worse than the Anarchist?
6858We had a perfectly lovely time in New York, did n''t we, Arline?
6858Well, Elfreda, why this thusness? 6858 Well, what do you think of Eleanor, Elfreda?"
6858Were n''t you green with jealousy when he admitted it?
6858Were you and Grace friends then?
6858Were you haunted by nightmares in which glowering Anarchists pranced about?
6858Were you thinking of changing? 6858 What are you girls laughing at?"
6858What are you going to be when you grow up, Hippy?
6858What are you going to do about it?
6858What are you going to do when you finish college?
6858What are you going to do? 6858 What are you going to wear, Anne?"
6858What are you two talking about?
6858What can have happened?
6858What did Mrs. Elwood say?
6858What did she do?
6858What did you do to hurt them?
6858What did you say you were going to do?
6858What did you say, my dear?
6858What do you mean, Miss Duncan?
6858What do you say to that, girls?
6858What do you think of it, Grace and Anne?
6858What do you think of it? 6858 What do you think she deserves?"
6858What do you want?
6858What do you wish?
6858What great man is ever appreciated in his own country?
6858What happened next?
6858What have I done to disappoint you?
6858What is going on here?
6858What is going on in the hall, I wonder?
6858What is it you wish me to do for her, Mabel?
6858What is the full penalty of the law?
6858What made you give him the plate, Aunt Rose?
6858What shall I write about?
6858What shall be the fate of these malefactors?
6858What sort of girl is she, Grace?
6858What time is it, Elfreda?
6858What was your opinion of the defendant?
6858What were you going to say?
6858What will happen to this other girl, Miss Duncan?
6858What would we call ourselves?
6858What''s the matter, Grace?
6858When did your first disagreement occur?
6858When must it be handed in?
6858Where are we to meet Ruth and Arline?
6858Where can it be?
6858Where is Grace to- night?
6858Where is Mildred Taylor this morning?
6858Where is Ruth?
6858Where is everyone to- night?
6858Where''s Ruth?
6858Which one do you like best?
6858Who are you girls going to invite?
6858Who can it be?
6858Who could the girl be?
6858Who do you suppose left it there?
6858Who is Eleanor, and why ca n''t Anne recite''Enoch Arden''without her?
6858Who told you?
6858Who told you?
6858Who?
6858Who?
6858Whose fault was it?
6858Why ca n''t you tell me?
6858Why could n''t she say that she had not been invited?
6858Why did n''t you ask some one else to hook you up?
6858Why did n''t you tell me that before?
6858Why did they change their minds?
6858Why do n''t you ask her? 6858 Why do n''t you choose another subject?"
6858Why do n''t you take some incident in your own life or that of your friends and write a story about it?
6858Why do you call her the Anarchist?
6858Why is J. Elfreda in leading strings?
6858Why not ask the Emerson Twins?
6858Why-- what-- where did you get this?
6858Will no one help me?
6858Will there be any vacancies at your house this year?
6858Will you accept the honor?
6858Will you ask Miss Ashe to come to your room after your last class to- day, Miss Duncan?
6858Will you be too busy to have dinner with us at Vinton''s to- morrow night?
6858Will you kindly explain the reason for this tumult?
6858Will you please unhook me?
6858Will you tell me the name of the young woman in whose room you wrote your theme?
6858Wo n''t Mrs. Elwood be surprised when she comes home? 6858 Wo n''t you be seated?"
6858Wo n''t you go with us to the''Tourraine''?
6858Would you like to come upstairs with me now, Arline, while I collect my share of the contributions? 6858 Would''st have the whole town look upon my tears and jeer,''cry baby''?"
6858Yes, what?
6858Yes, would n''t it though?
6858You can look like any one you choose, ca n''t you, Elfreda?
6858You found the rainbow side of your sophomore year in helping some one else, did n''t you, Elfreda?
6858You know who she is, do n''t you, Grace?
6858You mean the girl you speak of as Eleanor?
6858You notice, do n''t you, that I am not addressing her by her pet name? 6858 You understand now, do n''t you?"
6858You were consoling your homesick cousin, so how could you know what went on here?
6858You wo n''t know where you are to be for the summer until Mr. Forest writes, will you?
6858You-- you do n''t mean Miss Harlowe and Miss Pierson?
6858After a slight deliberation she said gently,"Is there anything you wish to tell me, Miss Taylor?"
6858Anne Pierson, do you see the time?
6858Anne chose violets for Miss Taylor, did n''t you, Anne?"
6858Answer yes or no?"
6858Are all the Wayne Hall girls here?"
6858Are you going to take the automobile bus?
6858Are you sure you want me to go downstairs?"
6858At the precise moment when I had begun to enjoy myself, too?"
6858But how did you know we made fudge last night, and why did n''t you come in and have some?"
6858But what of the other girl?
6858CHAPTER VI ELFREDA MAKES A RASH PROMISE"How does it feel to be a senior, Mabel?"
6858CHAPTER XIV GRACE MAKES A RESOLUTION"What do you think has happened?"
6858Ca n''t you can arrange to come, too, Frances?"
6858Ca n''t you get into your room?"
6858Ca n''t you manage it?"
6858Can I help you in any way?"
6858Can you blame me for trying to make her take life easy for a few days?"
6858Did n''t you ever hear of one?"
6858Did you bring your notebook?"
6858Did you eat too much fudge last night, or have you been conditioned in math?"
6858Did you ever agree on any subject?"
6858Do n''t forget that you are going to send us pictures of you in your cap and gown, will you?"
6858Do n''t you remember?
6858Do n''t you want to meet Eleanor?
6858Do n''t you?"
6858Do you remember that, Grace?"
6858Do you suppose they would be offended?"
6858Do you wish the chiffonier or the bureau this year, Anne, for your things?"
6858Elfreda drew her in and, closing the door, said nervously:"What do you suppose has happened?
6858Elwood?"
6858Elwood?"
6858Elwood?"
6858Gentlemen of the jury, are you ready for the question?"
6858Has any one seen the Anarchist?"
6858Have you been elected to the Pi Beta Gamma, or did you get an unusually large check from home?"
6858Have you seen many of the girls?"
6858Have you seen that white gown of Elfreda''s?
6858Have you seen the new girls?"
6858How did you know?"
6858How long had it been in existence?
6858I ask you, ladies, after seeing me in that new white silk gown of mine, what Anarchist could resist me?"
6858I do n''t look very stout in this rig, do I?
6858I love every inch of it, do n''t you?"
6858I think she is the handsomest dark girl I ever saw, do n''t you?"
6858I wonder if Mrs. Elwood knew that blue was your color?"
6858I would n''t be likely to go into one of the campus houses to steal a theme, would I?
6858Is n''t she provoking, girls?
6858It has turned out beautifully, has n''t it?"
6858It was after we entered high school that we began to find out that we liked each other, was n''t it, Miriam?"
6858Just before time for the dinner bell to ring, Elfreda burst into the room with:"Miriam, will you help me to dress?
6858Just pretend you did n''t hear it, will you?
6858Mabel smiled slightly, then asked,"What did the girl do-- the one she would n''t room with, I mean?"
6858Now, are n''t you sorry you repudiated me?
6858Now, may I have some more tea?"
6858Remember to go for your walk every day, wo n''t you?
6858Shall I help you?"
6858Shall we add to our number or let well enough alone?"
6858Shall we agree to meet at Vinton''s at half- past six?
6858Shall we go downstairs and wait for her?"
6858Shall we run up and see Miss Taylor for a moment?"
6858Shall you ask her, Anne?"
6858She is past solution, is n''t she?
6858She thinks it would be fine, do n''t you, Frances?"
6858Stepping to the door she called,"What''s the matter, Grace?
6858Stopping directly in front of the bowed figure, she said gently,"Can I help you?"
6858Suppose the other girl had chosen the same subject?
6858Suppose we keep it a secret until our society is in running order?"
6858That applies to us, does n''t it?"
6858That sounds conceited, does n''t it?"
6858That sounds terribly cold- blooded, does n''t it?
6858That will help some, wo n''t it?"
6858The spread was in Miriam''s room, but you know who your friends are, do n''t you?"
6858The two classes make a good showing, do n''t they?"
6858Then, seized with a sudden idea, she said in a tone of subdued excitement,"Will you allow me to look at that theme again, Miss Duncan?"
6858Want to go with me?"
6858Was n''t that fortunate?"
6858What can be more noble than to fight for the right?
6858What did you say first, and what did she say?"
6858What do you know about my future career as a brakeman?
6858What has happened?
6858What on earth is she wearing?"
6858What was the object of the"Semper Fidelis Club"?
6858What will become of her before the evening is over?"
6858What will she think of me?"
6858What''s her other name?"
6858What''s the use in explaining?"
6858When did you arrive?
6858When she left the room for ice water, Mabel Ashe observed warmly,"She is a credit to 19--, is n''t she?"
6858Where are Mabel Ashe and Frances Marlton, Emma Dean and Gertrude Wells, not to mention Virginia Gaines?"
6858Where are my gloves and my cloak?
6858Where did you learn to run?"
6858Where have you been keeping yourself, Ruth?"
6858Who had been on familiar enough terms with Savelli to induce him to play at the"show"?
6858Who had planned and managed the entertainment?
6858Who invited them?
6858Who proposed that name?"
6858Why are you so interested in hearing about her, Mabel?"
6858Why do n''t you go with me to the football game Thanksgiving Day?
6858Why have n''t you come in before?"
6858Why not give a vaudeville show?
6858Why not start a movement among the girls we know and send them a box?
6858Will you go with me to her room?
6858Will you look in the top drawer of the chiffonier and see if I put my gold beads in that green box?
6858Will you talk with her about it, and ask her if she is willing to try?"
6858Will you think of me, when I am gone?
6858Will you, wo n''t you, can you, ca n''t you remember me?"
6858Wo n''t you come upstairs to our room and meet my roommate, Miss Pierson?"
6858Wo n''t you forgive me, Ruth?
6858Wo n''t you take off your hat and coat?"
6858You are not going away, are you?
6858You do n''t suppose I would allow a new boarder to infringe upon the rights of my old girls, do you?"
6858You do n''t suspect any one, do you?"
6858You know how tactful they are?"
6858You understand, do n''t you?"
40725A case for himself?
40725A message for me?
40725About what?
40725All very well to trap''em,chuckled Sim,"but who''s going to take''em out of the trap after they''re caught or strangled to death?"
40725All what? 40725 And apples?"
40725And how?
40725And you think I wo n''t be happy without the swimming pool?
40725Anyhow, she has n''t piled any more punishment on us, so why should we care?
40725Arden,said Mary formally,"may I present my brother Jim?
40725Are n''t you coming?
40725Are n''t you satisfied, Arden, with the dean''s statement?
40725Are they so old, then?
40725Are you badly injured?
40725Are you going to Tiddy?
40725Are you hurt?
40725But as soon as you two can, come back to 513, and we''ll complete our arrangements, will you?
40725But can we do anything to ease you until help comes?
40725But do you know what we did?
40725But even admitting that this missing young man may be around here,suggested Terry,"what chance have we of finding him?
40725But how, if the rope was high up?
40725But that''s rather a tall order, is n''t it? 40725 But the point is-- who did it?
40725But what could he hope to gain by such a trick?
40725But what does it all mean?
40725But what in the world is the matter with the swimming pool that they have to store vegetables in it?
40725But what is it?
40725But what of it? 40725 But why was Henny there in the orchard at midnight?"
40725But why?
40725But wo n''t you be late?
40725But, Arden, what was it?
40725But, Mr. Pangborn, will you let us notify the police or lawyers and claim the reward?
40725Ca n''t we do something besides standing here and staring at him as though we came here purposely to see him? 40725 Ca n''t you let us enjoy the scandal?
40725Ca n''t you step outside for a few seconds? 40725 Ca n''t you stick it out?
40725Can we all get in?
40725Can you turn around so you can be sort of on your hands and knees?
40725Could it have been-- a snake?
40725Dare I go in?
40725Did he see you?
40725Did n''t Mr. Pangborn tell you what we are going to do with the money as soon as we get it?
40725Did they make any money, do you know?
40725Did you fall?
40725Did you get it?
40725Did you hear that?
40725Do I?
40725Do n''t say anything to anyone, will you, Mary?
40725Do n''t you think so, Sim?
40725Do n''t you think there''s a small, a tiny resemblance?
40725Do we unmask now?
40725Do you mean directly at you the face was staring?
40725Do you mean the boys or the girls?
40725Do you mind if we go send this telegram right away-- before we have to report in class?
40725Do you notice she does n''t say exactly what happened?
40725Do you suppose we can let her in all right? 40725 Do you think Tiddy has any real evidence?"
40725Do you think that was the person who rang the bell?
40725Do you think the bell had anything to do with it?
40725Do you think those sophs could have known?
40725Do you think we can go?
40725Do you think,asked Arden,"that he may have done it all as a joke?
40725Does anyone care for a piece of cake?
40725Down where? 40725 Fer th''love of cats, who are you?
40725Fifth floor?
40725Fire?
40725For Sim?
40725For who knows what the secret is?
40725For you?
40725Go back tonight? 40725 Got a better idea for our dance boy supply?"
40725Has the orchard noise of last night materialized?
40725Have you a piece of paper?
40725Have you any trace of that trunk of mine yet?
40725Have you decided yet,asked Terry,"where you think you saw the original of that reward- poster picture?"
40725Have you had anything to eat? 40725 Have you heard anything, Mary?"
40725Have you seen Mary Todd anywhere?
40725Hello, Arden? 40725 How about the bell and the missing Pangborn chap?"
40725How about this pile of trunks?
40725How do I know?
40725How do we look?
40725How do you do?
40725How do you know?
40725How was I t''know you was in there?
40725Hurt?
40725I meant to ask you after supper last night,began Arden,"did you two think any more about what Henny was saying to Tom Scott as we came along?"
40725I shall see that----"What''s the matter?
40725I wonder how long this pool is, or should I say_ was_?
40725I wonder if the sophomores will clear expenses and make something for repairing the swimming pool?
40725I wonder if there are rats here?
40725I wonder what sort of apples grow in that orchard?
40725I wonder what that gardener, Anson, was talking about?
40725Is he going to arrest me-- detain me for questioning just because I have asked about the poster? 40725 Is he-- dead?"
40725Is it part of the hazing?
40725Is it stopping at the far gate?
40725Is n''t Henny talking to Tom Scott, the gardener?
40725Is there a fruit- cake? 40725 Is this the one?"
40725It''s all very well,she murmured, busy with her compact,"all very well, my good girls, but is n''t it about time we got inside the college?
40725Library paste or pie?
40725Must we really go after the apples?
40725Mysterious?
40725No?
40725Not mad, are you?
40725Not your grandfather''s wealth?
40725Oh, then you saw that trick?
40725Oh, what shall we do? 40725 Rather late to be coming back from the station, is n''t it?
40725Really, Sim, how did you find out so much?
40725Really, you know, Arden----"Why did n''t they give us a chance? 40725 Say,"broke in Sim,"was it you who rang the alarm bell?"
40725Then you do n''t think there''s a chance that I might have seen him?
40725Then you heard it, too?
40725Then you will let us notify the lawyers that you are here?
40725To the college?
40725Was n''t that nice of him?
40725Well, Arden, what did you do this time?
40725Well, anyhow, we could try, could n''t we?
40725Well, what do you want to do, Sherlock-- go over and identify the corpse?
40725Well, what was that?
40725Well, what''s wrong about that?
40725Well?
40725What a delicious mystery it would be if it worked out that way, would n''t it?
40725What are we going to do?
40725What are you cheering for?
40725What are you doing here? 40725 What are you girls doin''in there?"
40725What are you saying?
40725What are you talking about?
40725What can I do for you?
40725What can he mean?
40725What can we wear?
40725What did she mean-- picking a lot of apples?
40725What did you do?
40725What do you expect? 40725 What do you guess for dessert?"
40725What do you know about the college student seen coming out of police headquarters?
40725What do you say we raid the kitchen later?
40725What do you say, Arden, to a little more sleuthing?
40725What do you suppose he meant when he spoke about not always watching?
40725What do you suppose they were talking about?
40725What do you think?
40725What does it all mean?
40725What else did he do?
40725What happened? 40725 What happened?"
40725What is he saying?
40725What is it, Sim? 40725 What is it, Terry?
40725What is it, darling?
40725What is it?
40725What is it?
40725What is it?
40725What is the meaning of this?
40725What is?
40725What kind is it?
40725What kind of apples are these, anyhow?
40725What shall we do now? 40725 What shall we do, Arden?"
40725What shall we do?
40725What was he there for?
40725What was she doing in Larchmont?
40725What''ll we do?
40725What''s he wanted for, murder or bank robbery?
40725What''s that?
40725What''s the idea?
40725What''s the next move?
40725What''s this? 40725 What?
40725What?
40725What?
40725What?
40725What?
40725What?
40725What_ is n''t_ the matter with it?
40725Whatever possessed Sim to do a thing like this?
40725Whatever was that?
40725Wheelbarrow? 40725 When you hear what I saw----""How can we_ hear_ what you_ saw_?"
40725Where are the apples, freshies?
40725Where are the apples?
40725Where is she?
40725Where were you?
40725Where you from-- Cedar Ridge?
40725Where''d she go?
40725Where''s the food, Jane?
40725Where?
40725Where?
40725Who can be ringing it?
40725Who cares?
40725Who is coming?
40725Who is he talking to-- or should I say''whom''?
40725Who is he?
40725Who is it?
40725Who said?
40725Who''s it from?
40725Why are you so interested in this man?
40725Why bring that up?
40725Why did he ring the bell?
40725Why did n''t she take it off altogether?
40725Why did you give up your inheritance of millions to come here as a gardener''s helper?
40725Why did you happen to come to Cedar Ridge?
40725Why do n''t you come in, Terry?
40725Why do you have to think of things like that? 40725 Why does it ring now?"
40725Why does n''t he come out of it?
40725Why should we go to the far end to gather fine fruit when windfalls may answer?
40725Why was that done?
40725Why would I say it was if it was n''t, my good man? 40725 Why?"
40725Why?
40725Will you?
40725Wo n''t you think it over? 40725 Would you do that for dear old Alma Mater when you do n''t know her so very well?"
40725Yes?
40725You heard me-- up in your room?
40725You mean when the black ram butted me? 40725 You mean with the reward money you''re going to get for finding that missing Pangborn chap?"
40725You see?
40725You take our books to our room, will you?
40725You wo n''t run away meanwhile, will you?
40725You''d help, would n''t you, Terry?
40725You''ve been thinking about this dance, have you, Sim? 40725 You, also, Terry?"
40725Although you have been here for only a short time, you have already attracted some, shall I say, undesirable attention?
40725And I suppose you wo n''t keep it long?"
40725And was n''t Harry Pangborn nice when he posed for those newspaper photographers?"
40725And what would happen at the morning interview with Miss Tidbury Anklon, the severe dean?
40725As they hurried along the platform they heard the agent muttering to himself:"What''ll them girls do next?"
40725Bordmust?"
40725But I warned you, did n''t I?
40725But are you sure you want to do this?"
40725But ca n''t we take them ourselves and drop them into the post office after breakfast?
40725But please do n''t mention to anyone that you found me in such a silly fix, will you?"
40725But what were those white envelopes?
40725But you know our Tom who got that mysterious blow the other night?"
40725But, here''s a question, a hard one, really: What do you suppose he was doing in the orchard after midnight?"
40725CHAPTER IV The Reward Circular"What could that have been?"
40725Ca n''t we do that?"
40725Ca n''t you stay with us until morning?"
40725Can you send it?
40725Could it be----?
40725Could n''t the chief have heard the name at first?
40725Could one boy have brought them such reassurance?
40725Could she have seen the man before?
40725Could the Pangborn lawyers have sent the reward money by telegraph already?
40725Dad is here, is n''t he?"
40725Did Mr. Newman see it?
40725Did either of you ever have that feeling?"
40725Did they find out about me?
40725Did you have the sisters send their brothers our pictures?
40725Did you hear that?
40725Did you think I would n''t?"
40725Do n''t you know anything about him?"
40725Do n''t you think we had better check up on it?"
40725Do we have to go over all that again?"
40725Do you know I have received letters from several worried parents as a result of your spreading of this tale?"
40725Do you mean to let Sim in?"
40725Do you think there could have been a fight among the help?
40725Do you think we better tell Mrs. Malvern after all?
40725Do you understand?
40725Had the chaplain told them?
40725Halfway up Terry murmured to Arden:"Do you think there was anything in what he said?"
40725Has each one three brothers who are eligible for tea dances?"
40725Have n''t you seen that face before?"
40725He arose and stood at attention behind the desk, smiling as he asked:"Is there something I can do for you?"
40725Henry ask, somewhat crossly:"How much longer are you going to keep this up?
40725How about a little song for my friends, here?"
40725How can you?"
40725How could they be climbed?
40725How could they get back to Cedar Ridge without Mrs. Malvern or someone with inquisitive authority finding out about the missing girl?
40725How is she coming-- train?"
40725How long do you think it will take?"
40725I think that was a good beauty shop, do n''t you?"
40725I wonder if there is a back door that I could sneak out of while he''s butting the front one?"
40725I wonder what it all means?"
40725I''ve never been there, have you?
40725If she was not waiting at the tube station or in Hoboken, what should they do?
40725If the authorities did n''t think it likely that he might be in this vicinity, why did they put the poster up here in the post office?
40725Is anything the matter?"
40725Is she-- all right?"
40725Is that right?"
40725Is your room this high up, Miss Everett?"
40725It is n''t serious, is it?"
40725It''s rather the reverse of''do n''t shoot, I''ll come down,''is n''t it?"
40725Let''s see-- what shall I say?
40725No?
40725Not hurt, are you?"
40725Now, if we could only locate him or tell the lawyers where to look for him and get this reward money, would n''t it be just wonderful?"
40725Oh, what shall I do?
40725Oh, what shall we do?"
40725Oh, what''ll we do?
40725Oh, where is that agent?"
40725Or rather, were they not showing real confidence in her?
40725Or, at least, do you think it is a logical explanation?
40725Shall we speak-- or just bow respectfully?"
40725She was looking at Tom Scott, and she asked:"Have you recovered from your-- your accident?"
40725She was n''t getting homesick, was she, so soon?
40725So her story was known all over college in spite of the dean''s prohibition?
40725Somehow that odd obstruction looked out of place near a natatorium, and Sim said so, adding:"I wonder what''s the idea?"
40725Suppose her father was not in Larchmont, after all?
40725That is-- suppose we forget all about your being campused?"
40725That you were over to the station?
40725The girls were silent a moment, and then Sim asked:"Did you have much trouble rousing Tiddy?"
40725The taxi- man had surely warned them-- but of what?
40725There must be a train back tonight, is n''t there?"
40725Those stories about the orchard were your doing-- am I not right?"
40725Trying to raise such a large sum by yourselves-- just you girls?"
40725Walking in the fog?"
40725Was there danger abroad in the blackness of the night?
40725Was there envy in the glances?
40725Was there something mysterious about the pool, as the taxi- man had intimated there was about the orchard?
40725Were they deserting Sim?
40725What about that man you saw in the orchard with a lantern the night Mr. Newman brought you back from New York?"
40725What are you going to do?"
40725What did you want to know?"
40725What do they smell like, Terry?"
40725What do you make of that?"
40725What do you mean by sitting at our table?"
40725What do you say, girls?"
40725What do you suppose is in there, Arden?"
40725What had they done about her disappearance?
40725What if Tiddy finds out?"
40725What if we ca n''t get the door open?"
40725What shall I do?"
40725What time is it?"
40725What was going to come of all this, she wondered?
40725What was in the orchard, anyhow?
40725What was it?"
40725What would Sim do now?
40725What''ll I do?"
40725What''s that?"
40725What''s the matter?"
40725Whatever-- was it?"
40725Where are you?"
40725Where are you?"
40725Where was Sim?
40725Wherever did you get such a big one, Arden?"
40725Who cared about a sleepy French town, drowsing under a provincial sun?
40725Who knows?"
40725Why not?
40725Why not?"
40725Why were you returning at such a late hour?"
40725You are, are n''t you?"
40725You mean-- kidnaped?"
40725You will, wo n''t you, my dear?"
40725You wo n''t tell?"
41858''For the_ Monthly_?'' 41858 ''Me see''em?"
41858Ah,returned Miss Farwell, with a suspicious sweetness,"why did n''t you ask a few more, Katherine, dear?
41858And did she accept?
41858And what shall we do with the sandwiches? 41858 Are there any objections to this report?"
41858Aunt Frank says you''re going to- morrow,she remarked, adding a little curiously,"Shall you be glad to get back?"
41858Biscuits,she demanded,"did anybody ever know of anything really_ bad_ that Martha ever did-- ever?"
41858Busy this hour, Neal?
41858But Neal, dear,said Patsy, as they settled themselves to listen,"do you think she''ll stay?
41858But how?
41858But just because Kate and I studied, Martha would n''t, would she?
41858But would we dare? 41858 But, truly, I wonder why they do n''t take that girl-- isn''t her name Hastings?--into Phi Kappa?
41858Can you come to the hotel right after dinner?
41858Certainly I can, but I ca n''t make it alone, can I? 41858 Certainly I did,"said Martha;"why not?"
41858Coming up?
41858Could n''t I make the Alpha on the strength of having vacated this hearth and home eighteen times by actual count for its old committees?
41858Did she read that thing to you, too?
41858Did she say that to you?
41858Did you get all mine and your own, too?
41858Did you see her jump? 41858 Did-- did you get my note, Miss Burt?
41858Do they allow you to come back whenever you want to?
41858Do you have lessons with him, really?
41858Do you think so?
41858Do you think they''ll take in that queer junior, you know, that looks so tall till you get close to her, and then it''s the way she walks?
41858Do you, Ursula?
41858Does it?
41858Does she really care?
41858Does she really look like her, Kitten?
41858East, you mean? 41858 Er-- when do we begin?"
41858Good heavens, how can she? 41858 Have a peppermint?"
41858Have some berries, Ted?
41858Have you anything black?
41858How did you get here?
41858How do you suppose_ she_ got hold of it?
41858How is it made?
41858How is it?
41858How long is it since those seniors and the Faculty saw Henrietta?
41858How many Faculty did you ask?
41858How old are you, please?
41858I mean, is it low neck and short sleeves?
41858I''m not sure what I_ will_ wear,said Evangeline;"what will you?"
41858I?
41858Is n''t that Miss Hastings?
41858Is that a freshman?
41858It''s that girl that used to be in the Candy Kitchen-- don''t you remember? 41858 Miss President,"said Cornelia Burt, rising abruptly,"may I speak to the society before the voting?"
41858Not Kate? 41858 Now, I wonder if you really were n''t, or if you''re lying?"
41858Now, what do you think you''re going to do?
41858Oh, indeed?
41858Pretty, is n''t it?
41858See here,she said suddenly,"if I get Suzanne over here, will you let_ her_ cut one of your dresses out?
41858See who-- whom, I mean? 41858 Themes back?"
41858There''s no particular reason why you should,she concluded,"and perhaps, anyhow, as Mrs. Harrow says--""Perhaps what?"
41858There''s nothing like having a society girl for a room- mate, is there, Patsy?
41858This is Marjory-- how do you do, Marjory?
41858Um-- ah-- yes,said Biscuits,"sounds something like Browning, does n''t it?"
41858Was your class surprised at the elections?
41858What did she say to you, Neal?
41858What differences?
41858What do you think Alberta and I are doing? 41858 What_ did_ she say?"
41858What_ shall_ I do? 41858 Where shall we go?"
41858Who is that lovely girl in the middle?
41858Who''s the other?
41858Who? 41858 Why did n''t she get in before if she was so bright?"
41858Why did you come in here? 41858 Why do n''t you cut one of your dresses out?"
41858Why do n''t you want her in Alpha? 41858 Why do we want her?"
41858Why, I do n''t care,said Evangeline, indifferently,"only she''d better hurry, had n''t she?"
41858Why, Martha, did you really hand_ that_ in?
41858Why, Neal, do you care? 41858 Why, yes, I shall be pleased-- at four on Saturday, I think you said?"
41858Why-- why, Grace, what do you mean? 41858 Will you have a chocolate ice?"
41858Will you hurry, please?
41858Would I make her higher?
41858Yes, is n''t it? 41858 You are Miss Cunningham, are you not?
41858_ Mais qu''avez- vous donc, ma chère Berthe? 41858 _ Que voulez- vous, ma plus chère?
41858_ Vous rappelez- vous cette première fois, hein?_Suzanne asked, with a grin.
41858''I shall be charmed to meet Miss Biddle again, and in your room, Miss Sewall,''she said,''and shall I bring Miss Ackley?''
41858''Make the picturesque little lake echo with sweet girlish gayety,''as the newspaper gentlemen say?"
41858''What do you think you came to college for, Suzanne?
41858''Why do you try so hard to be cruel, Miss Burt?''
41858''Will you sign this book?''
41858(_ First usher nods her head._) Are yer h''ushers?
41858(_ Member of Class points out their position._)_ Large Woman._ And where is the Landscape Garden?
41858(_ Usher runs out._)_ A ubiquitous member of the faculty suddenly appears._ What''s the matter?
41858--adding, with resignation,"Is she in?"
41858And Carol?
41858And are n''t the costumes beautiful?
41858And could you take those two swords?
41858And had she given Marietta that senior picture yet?
41858And that pint of extra thick cream?"
41858And the lemons that I sliced?
41858And the little cakes?
41858And the nicest man helped me up and made me take his seat, and who do you think it was?
41858And the tea- cups and spoons I borrowed?
41858And then as the two moved on she added,"I heard you say something about Miss Hastings: is it true she''s going to leave?"
41858And then, other people, you know...."Did you get any of these off, before I came?
41858And what color is your gown?
41858And what do you think she said the last time they met?
41858And what if she was?
41858And who''s the little girl?
41858And will you ask her, or shall I?"
41858Anybody sick?
41858Are n''t those lords and ladies fine?
41858Are there any objections to this method?"
41858Are we going to give the_ Lady of Lyons_, or are we not?
41858Are you going to all these things, too, Ellen?
41858Are you going to remain here long, Dr. Twitchell?
41858As soon as Katherine had said,"May I present Miss Hartwell-- Miss Ackley?"
41858Better?
41858Big?
41858But Susan had heard Cornelia Burt ask:"Is she related at all, Sue?"
41858But can you do anything?
41858But what are you going to say to her to- day?"
41858But-- but-- you do n''t mean anything, Grace?"
41858Can I take this couch cover along?
41858Could it be?
41858Could n''t she take her?"
41858Could n''t you curl it?"
41858Could she get Virginia up in time for the 9.15?
41858Could you love me still?
41858Cunningham?
41858Dare you love me now?
41858Did n''t Miss Henderson tell you how Winifred Hastings admired you?"
41858Did the ushers--_ Third Sophomore._ Oh, goodness, Win, have n''t you heard that yet?
41858Did you ever see anything much prettier than she is, Alice?
41858Did you ever see anything so odd?
41858Did you know Orsino''s fiancé was there?
41858Did you love me then?
41858Did you meet Dr. Twitchell?
41858Did you see Ethel Williams''mother_ insist_ on going down into her seat?
41858Did you see that, Robbins?"
41858Did you?"
41858Do n''t you remember what a good time we used to have spring term?
41858Do n''t you see how low you''ve kept it down?
41858Do n''t you think she''s fine?
41858Do n''t you want us to give it?"
41858Do n''t you?
41858Do they do this themselves-- costumes and acting and ideas and all?
41858Do they set that stage alone?
41858Do you dance well?"
41858Do you keep thinking it''s the last time?
41858Do you know about Astronomy, Mr. Brooke?
41858Do you know there is n''t any, now?
41858Do you know what Alpha''s going to be to- night?
41858Do you like Viola?
41858Do you really care?"
41858Do you really disapprove of her?"
41858Dr. Twitchell of Cambridge, I wonder?
41858Est- ce que j''suis couturière, moi?_""Yes,"said Biscuits, obstinately,"you are, and you know it.
41858Est- ce que je saurais prononcer ce nom affreux?_"babbled Suzanne, while Biscuits found her golf cape and hustled her out of the door.
41858Fine play, wa''n''t it?
41858For that matter, she cut us dead day before yesterday, on Round Hill, did n''t she, Pat?
41858Gambol through the village?
41858Had Aunt Kate packed her black evening dress?
41858Had Uncle Ed remembered to change at Hartford?
41858Had she lost the slip with the Nicest Woman''s address on it?
41858Harriet Foster had said that she was perfectly certain she''d sprain her ankle-- then who would guard Martha Sutton?
41858Has-- has she begun?
41858Have a good time?"
41858Have you anything this hour?"
41858Have you got that blue organdie?
41858He''ll be here in a minute-- whoop it up, ca n''t you?"
41858Henry, what_ do_ you think of it?
41858How could you?
41858How did you do it?"
41858How perfectly funny!--Send''em to her?
41858How_ do_ they manage it?
41858I beg your pardon?
41858I do n''t remember Cunningham, do I, Nannie?"
41858I do n''t think Miss Henderson would talk to every one as she has to us, do you?"
41858I think he is quite right, do n''t you?
41858I think they''re prettier than they used to be, do n''t you?
41858I want her to watch you--""Sport about on the lawn?
41858I wonder if Daly sends the trainer?
41858I, myself, am not so sure-- Am I worth your lips?
41858I-- why are you so cold and--""Unsympathetic?
41858If the memory''s sweet, Why will you forget?
41858If you would take this and this and this, and oh, Father, would you please carry this tankard and the cups?
41858In the dance, was n''t she?
41858Is he back there?
41858Is he big?
41858Is it because you are afraid to give way to it?''
41858Is n''t Sue Jackson''s lovely?
41858Is n''t it dreadfully warm?
41858Is n''t it funny I do n''t get any of your things?
41858Is n''t it kind of dreadful?
41858Is n''t it pleasant to meet people so strangely, and without any ceremony, like this?
41858Is n''t it wonderful?
41858Is n''t she grand?
41858Is n''t that funny?
41858Is n''t that funny?
41858Is n''t that gay?
41858Is n''t that interesting?
41858Is that a girl, really?
41858Is that apple green?
41858Is that her own dress?
41858It could not be, she asked herself a moment afterwards, that_ she_ was proud to have them notice her?
41858It was only a question of a few, few minutes--_could_ they make it"eleven to nine"?
41858It was really very funny...."I''m afraid I''m keeping you-- were you going out?
41858It''s a very pleasant place, anyway, is n''t it?
41858It''s all one to her,_ vous savez_, she agrees with all; and what''s the result?
41858It''s hardly to be supposed that Geometry and Livy are really going to be as broadening to me as a year of travel with Papa and Mamma, is it?
41858J''ai eu la main heureuse, n''est- ce pas?
41858Jack, have you room for the moon?
41858Love is not of will-- Shall I go away?
41858Lovely figure, has n''t she?
41858Maria?
41858Mother-- thank you,_ thank_ you-- Mother, where_ is_ the carriage?
41858Must we hear it night and day?
41858Ninety-_green_ she is a_ winner_, Ninety-_green_ she is a_ star_, Is there_ any_thing_ agin_ her?
41858Not really?"
41858Nous en mangerons= to- morrow night=, mon Dieu,= and for once= nous aurons quelqu''chose= fit to eat=--hein?
41858Now what does this mean?
41858Now why do you suppose, sir, that is so?
41858Oh, I have n''t the vaguest idea-- What?
41858Oh, how do you do, Mrs. Waite?
41858On the way, two juniors met her, and they condoled with her cheerfully:"How do you feel, Theo dear?
41858Où demeure- t- elle donc, votre amie?_""Bless you, Suzanne, her name''s Evangeline Potts!
41858Pat, I did n''t know the Faculty ever did this sort of thing, did you?"
41858Pattering feet, a lantern turned on them, and a voice:"''Ere,''ere, what you doing?
41858Promise?"
41858Put on a cloak-- are you crazy?
41858Rose ce soir, demain flètrie-- Comment vis- tu, toi qui n''as pas d''amour?_ I''m going out now for a walk.
41858Shall I tell Helen Stuart to send yours down?
41858Shall we have to take''em both?"
41858She felt herself blushing-- was it the Team?
41858She had got so many things intended for Sue-- why not this?
41858She says she''d want to be a student if she pretended to, and yet she must have a good time, and--""And she thinks it ca n''t be done?
41858She says''Really?''
41858She thinks that just because it does n''t all depend on one or two people, it''s easier?
41858She''s the best actor, then?
41858Sir Toby, eh?
41858So I said:''And what have you read this to me for, Miss Henderson?''
41858Some one else would lounge on the window- seat in her room in the Nicest House, and light the cunning fire.... Who was this?
41858Some one said:"That''s as pretty a piece of team work as you''ll often see, is n''t it?
41858Sue looks pale, does n''t she?
41858Sue looks well, do n''t you think?
41858Suppose she should be afraid?
41858Suppose the girl should be insulted?
41858That one that takes the part of Malvolio, now, that Miss Fosdick-- pretty smart girl, now, is n''t she?
41858That''s when the lanterns are all over, and they give a concert, and we all walk about, and it''s so pretty-- don''t you remember I told you?
41858That''s your Prom dress, is n''t it?
41858The Glee Club--_ Ellen._ Why, Aunt Grace, the Glee Club promenade, do n''t you know?
41858The little lace handkerchief dangling from her hand had a green silk monogram in the corner-- how dared she wear green?
41858The poem was called,-- THE LIFTING VEIL Do you love me now?
41858The question is,_ can_ a girl do it?
41858They say you''re in the Hatfield-- how did you get there?"
41858Too bad Sue got scared, was n''t it?
41858Want to get in?
41858Was it you?
41858Was n''t he ducky?
41858Was n''t she great, though?
41858Well, going to stay here?
41858Well, just find your extra people, that''s all!--Did you like it?
41858Were they going to punish her?
41858Were they ready for the toasts so soon?
41858What a fine- looking girl that Miss Ackley is-- the dark one-- did you notice her?
41858What do you mean?
41858What do you say?"
41858What have I to call my own?
41858What should she say to them?
41858What was Harriet thinking?
41858What will they do without their Viola?
41858What, was it half- past eleven?
41858What?
41858What_ do_ you_ mean_, Mottha?''
41858When did you come?
41858Where are they?
41858Where are we?
41858Where does she live?
41858Where had the time gone?
41858Where''s Toby?
41858Where''s the catalogue?"
41858Who else?"
41858Who has the key to the property box now?"
41858Who is it, Kitten?"
41858Who is this, Emma?
41858Who''s to take her?
41858Why are n''t you in your seat?
41858Why on earth should Neal and I send that girl flowers?
41858Will they?"
41858Will you come?"
41858Will you come?"
41858Will you send, too, my Shelley and my selections from Keats?
41858Will you?
41858Wo n''t they, Katie?"
41858Would Harriet have done better?
41858Would she be willing?
41858Would she ever run out bouncing the ball in that waiting hush?...
41858Would the post- office forward that note to the little freshman?
41858Would they be kind about it, or would they all turn around and go home?
41858Would you ever know that Sir Toby was a girl?
41858Would you like the garnets reset, or as Mother wore them?
41858Yet you taught me how-- Are we growing old?
41858You know, Neal, just as I was going, she said,''Of course you realize, Miss Pattison, that only you and I and Miss Burt have seen this story?''
41858You pretty tired, Miss Slater?
41858You suppose she is not the only one, Miss Burt?
41858You''re sure you do n''t mind carrying them?
41858_ Another usher comes out._)_ Nan._ How''d the song go?
41858_ Aunt._ Did you know that even the mobs are trained very carefully?
41858_ Aunt._ What is this, Ellen?
41858_ Court Gentleman._ Is n''t she that?
41858_ Did n''t_ you write it?
41858_ Father._ Really?
41858_ Fifth Graduate._ What''s that?
41858_ First Graduate._ Going better, to- night, is n''t it?
41858_ First Usher._ Oh, Miss Underhill, is n''t Viola grand?
41858_ Fourth Graduate._ My dear, have n''t you seen that?
41858_ Large Woman._ And that over there(_ pointing to the Observatory_), that is the Lilly House?
41858_ Large Woman._ And where is the Hubbard House?
41858_ Malvolio._ Do you know your speech?
41858_ Member of Faculty._ And what did Miss Vanderveer say?
41858_ Mother._ And now I suppose you''re going home to sleep all day?
41858_ Sally._ Oh, does she?
41858_ Sally._(_ White dimity with green ribbons; a yard or more of red- gold hair; babyish face._) Where''s your own seat, dear?
41858_ Second Father._ Then you''re Miss Mollie Vanderveer''s father?
41858_ Second Graduate._ Not really?
41858_ Second Sophomore._ Roses?
41858_ Third Graduate._ I like Esther Brookes''; it''s so plain, but there''s not a more artistic--_ Fourth Graduate._ How do you like Lena Bergstein''s?
41858_ Third Sophomore._ Well, she''s not to blame, is she?
41858_ Ubiquitous Member of Faculty._ Big?
41858_ Uncle._ And when did Malvolio and Viola and the stage committee do their studying?
41858_ Usher._ I-- I''ll go see--_ Ubiquitous Member of Faculty._ Do you know him?
41858_ c''était affreux!_ I''m learning the loveliest song-- Arnold is very fond of it:_ Ninon, Ninon, que fais- tu de la vie?
41858did you expect she would?"
41858do they?
41858does he?
41858how did I?
41858she insisted; and as Biscuits nodded, she added,"Does everybody wear them?"
41858who?"
41858why could n''t Henrietta Biddle have waited a week before she went to Europe?"
41858would anybody ever again combine such graces of mind and body as that ornament of Ninety- purple?
41858you did n''t ask them?
53548''Thankful,''Bess, why, what do you mean? 53548 Am I another Rip Van Winkle?"
53548And are you sure it was Edith talking this time?
53548And do you want to change, Elizabeth?
53548And if I refuse?
53548And now, Jean, that we are talking along this line may I speak a little about your college course? 53548 Are we all here, girls?
53548Are you sure it was Jean talking?
53548But Elizabeth, did n''t you know it was Saturday night and the library would n''t be opened again till Monday morning?
53548But what can I take instead of mathematics?
53548But why should you think Elizabeth is in the library? 53548 But you did n''t stay at college, did you?"
53548But, Jean, did n''t you know anything about it until just now? 53548 But, Jean,"said her room- mate,"you four are n''t going to dinner and to the theater alone on Saturday, are you?
53548By the way, did you know that Bess McNeil was married last week? 53548 Did you think we would never finish?"
53548Do you mean New York, Father, or California?
53548Do you suppose he''ll get lost, Jean, if you do n''t happen to meet him? 53548 Do?
53548Does n''t look very promising, girls, does it? 53548 Does that suit your Majesty now?
53548Going into the hat business, Jean? 53548 Gracie, did you tell any one besides Mary Boynton about my losing my beads?"
53548Had n''t we better call in the doctor or some of the older girls?
53548Have n''t you promised me part of the first dance and as many more as I want? 53548 Have you decided what you are to take this year?
53548Here it is, girls, and some of the cheese is still in the dish; have some?
53548How about you?
53548How could you do it, Jean? 53548 How did you get by us, Jean?"
53548I do n''t care anything about the dancing, so why not leave me here on one of these benches, Jean? 53548 Is Miss Cabot in your room, Miss Remington?
53548Is Miss Lois Underwood here? 53548 Is n''t that a little conceited, Jean, considering the fact that you belong to it yourself?
53548Is n''t this Jean Cabot?
53548Jean, did you notice the little star- shaped pins both of those seniors wore on their shirtwaists? 53548 Let me see, Miss Cabot, do you care for the subject of English?
53548Like it?
53548Lucky he did n''t now, is n''t it, Jean, for how could we four have ridden home in this little sleigh? 53548 May I call on you before you return to college?"
53548May I sit down here and talk a little? 53548 No,"said Constance,"I''m not a bit sleepy; I''d rather watch you, but first ca n''t I put something on those burns?"
53548Now what shall we do with it?
53548Now, Father, what about Dick? 53548 Now, Jean,"said Richard,"wo n''t you give us something you have learned at college?"
53548Now, where are your trunk checks? 53548 Oh, Elizabeth, how can you say that?"
53548Oh, Elizabeth,she cried,"are you really pledged to Gamma Chi?
53548Oh, Jean, have I interrupted you? 53548 Oh, Mary, is n''t it wonderful?"
53548Oh, Miss Cabot, have you received your invitation to the freshman reception yet?
53548Oh, Miss Moulton, can I have just one more rehearsal to- night? 53548 Oh, Nels?
53548Oh, girls, what shall I do? 53548 Oh, has n''t she come yet?
53548Oh, is it you, Jean? 53548 Oh, is n''t she here?
53548Oh, you''re not coming back to college? 53548 Oh,"gasped Jean,"is n''t Elizabeth at home?
53548Oh,said Elizabeth,"I should like to join one, would n''t you?"
53548Oh,said Grace Hooper,"why did n''t she come the way she was?
53548Pretty sore, Ruth, and of course awfully disappointed, but she''ll get her numerals all right, wo n''t she? 53548 Ready, freshmen?"
53548Ready, sophs?
53548Splendid,said Jean, when he had finished;"I know you''re going to make something of this gift, are n''t you?"
53548There, will I do?
53548Was n''t it good of Jack to leave this with me at the train?
53548Well, if you will not answer my first question, will you tell me who told you I had lost my beads?
53548Well, little room- mate, what do you think of yourself now? 53548 Well, what do you think of their rooms?
53548Well, when I spoke I meant New York, but how about California?
53548Well, who ever heard of such nerve?
53548What are you going to do this summer, Beth?
53548What are you going to do, Jean?
53548What are you two talking about so excitedly? 53548 What do you intend to do with your education, Richard?"
53548What do you think of the weather, Nat?
53548What has happened?
53548What is the matter, Jean? 53548 What is the prize, Bess?"
53548What on earth could you find to do up in the country with Elizabeth? 53548 What possessed you to spend five perfectly good days with that stick?
53548What shall I wear, Marjorie?
53548What studies are you going to take? 53548 What time is it, Ann?"
53548What''s come?
53548What''s the matter, Jean? 53548 What''s your first recitation-- can I take you to the class room?
53548What, are n''t you up yet? 53548 What, never learned poetry?
53548Where''s Peggy?
53548Which one, Jean?
53548Who ever heard of sleeping on the hall floor?
53548Who is that couple who have danced together all the evening, the tall monk and the demure sister of charity? 53548 Who is the monk?"
53548Who knows anything about these girls?
53548Who told you that?
53548Why do n''t they play more carefully?
53548Why do n''t you write to her while you are here and tell her about it? 53548 Why, Elizabeth, how can you talk so?
53548Why, Jean, are n''t you getting rather studious all of a sudden? 53548 Why, Jean, what do you mean?
53548Why, Jean, where did these violets come from?
53548Why, Jean, who would have thought it of you?
53548Why, Marjorie, how did you know I''d lost them?
53548Why, Tom, how did you happen to be here at the station? 53548 Why, do you suppose I''d let him come all that distance without meeting him?
53548Why, where''s your room- mate, Miss Cabot?
53548Will you wear for evermore the insignia of Gamma Chi?
53548With the place or somebody on the place? 53548 Yes, Jean, but why do you want me?
53548( Page 23)_ Frontispiece_ FACING PAGE"Why, what are you doing here?
53548After she had removed her hat and coat, she said,"Has Marjorie Remington returned yet, Jean?"
53548Am I going to be the only man among all you handsome girls?
53548And how are you going to get back to the hall after the theater?"
53548And how can you want me to go abroad with you?
53548And then returning to Elizabeth she said,"Why, what are you doing here?
53548And you''ve come all the way from Los Angeles?
53548Are any of the rest of you coming upstairs with me?
53548Are n''t the trees wonderful?
53548Are n''t these rubber boots grand?
53548Are n''t we the great combination?
53548Are n''t you the lucky girl to have enough to put in them?
53548Are n''t you tired after such a strenuous day?
53548Are the cars on time, or did you come by train?"
53548Are the ladder and rope here?
53548Are they new?"
53548Are you fond of the theater?"
53548Are you going right in to supper or will you come up to my room while I brush up a bit?"
53548Are you going to live here next year, too?"
53548Are you ready for lunch now?"
53548Are you serious about it?
53548Are you sure everything is all right out in the study?"
53548As Elizabeth and Jean turned out their lights and crept into bed, Elizabeth said,"Is n''t it a shame, Jean, to be defeated at the very outset?
53548At last she heard the sleepy reply,"What is it, Jean?
53548At noon she said to Jean,"What time shall we go to Miss Allison''s room to- night?"
53548Before I go, can I help you put away your clothes?"
53548But does n''t it seem good, Dickie- boy, to have them here?
53548But tell me, can I really drop mathematics?"
53548But tell me, dear, where are you going to live?"
53548By the way, have you found your coral beads?"
53548By the way, what is the prize?"
53548CHAPTER IX THE CHAFING- DISH PARTY"Elizabeth, have the girls announced the date of the French play?"
53548Ca n''t you come down to the Cottage with your cousin?"
53548Ca n''t you get to sleep again?
53548Ca n''t you go to sleep again?"
53548Ca n''t you see she''s waiting for them?"
53548Ca n''t you sit down and talk to me?
53548Can I help you with your program?
53548Can I help you?"
53548Can you see your way upstairs?
53548Can you spare me a few moments?"
53548Could n''t we get some tools somewhere?
53548Could she go to bed at once, she asked, and leave all her unpacking until the next day?
53548Did n''t she wait on table?
53548Did you have a pleasant vacation?"
53548Did you hear him ask if he might call on us?
53548Did you make one?"
53548Did you notice her hat?
53548Did you tell any of the girls?"
53548Do n''t you know that other people have no influence over them?"
53548Do n''t you love it?
53548Do n''t you love the hill already?
53548Do n''t you remember anything about to- night?"
53548Do n''t you see now what I mean?"
53548Do n''t you want the lamp lighted now and some more wood put on the fire?
53548Do you go away?"
53548Do you know of any one?"
53548Do you know where I live, Miss Cabot?
53548Do you realize that only thirteen cuts are allowed for the whole first semester?
53548Do you spend the Thanksgiving recess away?"
53548Do you suppose my being a day late will make any difference with my work?"
53548Do you think I''d better take my fur coat?
53548Do you think it''s just right to keep it from your father and mother?
53548Do you think my eyebrows, or rather what there is left of them, look badly?"
53548Do you think we''re going to leave you here for some prowling night- watchman to abduct?
53548Does every one else believe?"
53548Does n''t Anne Cockran look too sweet for anything?
53548Does n''t a game like this just make you want to do things for old Ashton?
53548Does n''t she look dear in that new gray dress?
53548Finally Jean said,"Where does Miss Clarkson, the librarian, live?"
53548Florence Cummings greeted him with,"Good evening, is this Mr. Doherty?
53548Frightened, she tore open the envelopes and read first,"Is it to be cousin or sister?
53548Had n''t we better stop talking and go to bed?"
53548Has Miss Fairfax, who is to be Miss Cabot''s room- mate, arrived yet?"
53548Has n''t the time gone quickly?
53548Have you any message to send him?"
53548Have you asked any one else?"
53548Have you found them?"
53548Have you learned how to make it, Jean?"
53548Have you promised to do anything Saturday afternoon?"
53548Here she called softly,"Oh, Elizabeth, are you there?"
53548Here, Jean, what is there for me to do?"
53548Home for the holidays?"
53548How about you?"
53548How are you enjoying the year?
53548How are you on the study question?"
53548How can I get into the library to- night?"
53548How can she help it with such a father?"
53548How could you be so generous?"
53548How did you dare think of such a thing?
53548How did you think of it?
53548How do you like the arrangement of the rooms so far?
53548How do you like the looks of your new home?
53548How do you suppose she feels?"
53548How do you suppose they got there?
53548How long can you stay with me?
53548How long will you be here?
53548How many times do you suppose you lost one of your trunks, or books, or hats, or themes, or tennis rackets?
53548How many trunks have you and where are your checks?
53548How much did you put in?"
53548How much more time is there?
53548How would you like to go back with me, girlie?"
53548How''s that for alliteration, freshies; would n''t that please Miss Whiting?"
53548How''s your appetite?
53548How''s your courage, Jean?
53548How''s your shoulder to- night?"
53548However, when the music stopped Jean said very casually,"Will you please tell me where the faculty alcove is?"
53548I almost hate to ask you, but would you rather go home with me to Newburgh than stay here at college?
53548I spend a whole summer in Europe?
53548I thought you never bothered your head about her except for German translations?
53548I wish we might room in Wellington so we could be near Miss Hooper, but wherever we are we''ll be together, wo n''t we?
53548I wonder how we could get into the library?
53548I''ll put a notice on our bulletin board and report the loss to-- who''s the proctor on our floor this week?"
53548I''m going down now for Mrs. Thompson; and, Natalie, will you get Mary Boynton?
53548If you''re only going to be here one year you do n''t care much for making records, do you?"
53548In the hall she met Miss Hooper, who stopped her and said,"Am I right in understanding that Miss Anna Maitlandt is your cousin?
53548Is it late?
53548Is it''yes''or''no''?
53548Is lunch ready?"
53548Is n''t Nat a perfect wonder at the game?"
53548Is n''t it a beautiful diamond?
53548Is n''t it a shame it''s storming so hard?
53548Is n''t it a shame?
53548Is n''t it dear?
53548Is n''t it fortunate that there is n''t a moon?
53548Is n''t it grand?
53548Is n''t it lucky we came here to- night?"
53548Is n''t she a star?"
53548Is n''t she awful?
53548Is n''t she little?
53548Is n''t she tall?
53548Is n''t she the most sarcastic person you ever knew?
53548Is n''t that a thrilling subject for my next English theme?
53548Is n''t that enough?"
53548Is n''t that girl with him a peach?
53548Is n''t that splendid?
53548Is n''t the college library open Saturday afternoons and evenings?
53548Is n''t this room a mess?
53548Is there anything else I can do to help you?
53548Is your part finished?"
53548Is your programme written out carefully; ready to pass in to the clerk?
53548It must be she, but is n''t it queer Marjorie should care to dance so often with her?
53548It took but a few moments to leave the little station and its confusion behind them and Jean said,"Why, Anna, are we the last ones to arrive?
53548It''s no fun trying to haze you; why did n''t you scream or do something exciting?
53548Just then the door opened and a cheery voice began,"Have you started dressing yet?"
53548Just then they heard,"Why, Nan Maitlandt, what on earth are you doing out here to- day?"
53548Marjorie, will you put the crackers on the plates?
53548May I call you Jean?
53548Nearly every one ended with,"Did you make your costume for Monday night?"
53548Nell Butler, will you please go to the piano and play for us?"
53548Now what''s to be done?
53548Now wo n''t you stay a while?
53548Now, Father, will you please recite us your poem about the firelight?"
53548Now, what would you like for your breakfast?"
53548Of course you''re going?"
53548Oh, where is your seat, Natalie?
53548Pleasant prospect, is n''t it?"
53548Sallie, cut up the cheese, will you?"
53548Shall we walk down together?
53548She''ll probably want a single, anyway, wo n''t she?"
53548Some one must have put them there, but you do n''t believe I did it, do you?"
53548Soon she started downstairs for her duties in the dining- room, but hesitated a little and said,"Jean, may I go to chapel with you this morning?"
53548Suppose they did break open the lock, what could she do then?
53548The sister of charity looks like Marjorie Remington, but who can the monk be?
53548There, is that perfectly proper, Jean?
53548This going to college is the best thing in a girl''s life, is n''t it, Elizabeth?"
53548Three trunks?
53548To change the subject, what kind of a time did you have in New York?"
53548Was everything as nice as you expected?"
53548Was it simply to please her father and brothers or did she mean to make a success of it for her own sake?
53548Was n''t it awful there where I forgot?
53548Was n''t it frightfully hot in the sun?
53548Was n''t it lucky I chose a blue hat and suit this fall?
53548Was n''t it splendid?
53548Was n''t she perfectly adorable?
53548Was n''t that splendid for Phil Woodworth?
53548We both know what it is to be disappointed, do n''t we?
53548We can be the same good friends as ever, ca n''t we, even if we''re not room- mates?"
53548Well, is n''t it a shame to have our plans for to- night spoiled?
53548Were you surprised yourself and are you pleased?"
53548What are they for?"
53548What are you doing on your knees by my couch?"
53548What are you fitting yourself for, Jean?"
53548What are you going to do this afternoon?"
53548What are you talking about?
53548What are you thinking about, Elizabeth?"
53548What do burglars generally use, anyway, when they break open locks?"
53548What do you mean by coming out at this time of day?"
53548What do you say, will you accept my prize, too?"
53548What do you think of me now?"
53548What do you think of the idea?"
53548What do you think of your room- mate?
53548What does she mean by burying herself in a hospital?
53548What happened?"
53548What has happened?
53548What has possessed you this morning?
53548What have I done to her?"
53548What have I got to do with your coral beads?
53548What have you to say about it?"
53548What if he should n''t come after all, and spoil our plans?
53548What is it?"
53548What is your specialty, Jean, tennis, basket- ball or rowing?
53548What makes you take the time to go to the train?"
53548What say''st thou, Peggy?"
53548What shall I do?
53548What should she do?
53548What time do you expect Tom, Jean?"
53548What time do you expect your man?"
53548What time does it close on Saturdays?"
53548What would they say to me?
53548What''s next on the programme?"
53548What''s the matter this morning?"
53548What''s the matter, stranger, can I help you?"
53548What''s the matter?
53548What''s this picture of an old farmhouse on your desk?"
53548What''s troubling you?"
53548When Jean entered the dining- room one of the freshmen called out,"Were you ill in English, Jean?"
53548When Jean saw the size of the turkeys and the quantities of other things piled up on the tables she exclaimed,"Why such an amount of food?
53548When astonishment had given place to anger, she burst out,"Did you ever hear of anything like that?
53548When can I do it all?"
53548When did all this happen?
53548When do you ever expect to wear all these clothes?
53548When the last sleigh drove out of the yard Elizabeth dropped into her father''s old armchair with,"Oh, I''m tired, but was n''t it splendid?"
53548When the two dancers were left to themselves, she heard Marjorie Remington say,"Has n''t it been splendid, Jack?
53548When they shut the door behind them Jean began excitedly,"Mary Boynton, did you tell any one besides Grace Hooper about my losing my coral beads?
53548When we are contented we do n''t want to change, do we?
53548Where can she be?"
53548Where could they all have come from?
53548Where did you find her?"
53548Where do you keep your apron?
53548Where do you suppose I''d ever get the money?
53548Where do you suppose Miss Whiting ever finds them?
53548Where do you suppose she hails from?
53548Where have you been?
53548Where is Bess assigned?"
53548Where is there another place in the world so productive of good- fellowship and joy as a college class day?
53548Where were you at breakfast?"
53548Where will she sit?"
53548Who do you suppose will notice me in all the crowd?
53548Who knows how many are generally chosen?"
53548Who says I ca n''t trim hats?"
53548Who''s got some to spare?
53548Who''s in the play?"
53548Who''s your chairman of the flag committee?"
53548Why ca n''t our girls do something?"
53548Why could n''t her room- mate have been Miss Remington or some one equally attractive?
53548Why did Aunt Sarah take Thanksgiving of all times in the year to be sick?
53548Why do n''t we give them a cheer?
53548Why do n''t you drop mathematics and take something else in its place?
53548Why do n''t you try to take the championship away from Natalie?"
53548Why do you ask?"
53548Why have n''t you said something about it at college?"
53548Why not be the first and only Ashton freshman to win the Tennis Championship?
53548Why should n''t a freshman win it?
53548Will you accept it?"
53548Will you come up to 45 until supper time?
53548Will you go out for basket- ball?"
53548Will you play for us some times?
53548Will you play my accompaniment if I sing this morning?"
53548Will you put this box in on my dresser if you''re going into the bedroom?"
53548Will you tell me now?"
53548Will you think it over to- night and let me know your decision in the morning?
53548Wo n''t it be exciting to have the two rivals in the house before the game?"
53548Wo n''t she play some more music?"
53548Wo n''t that be glorious?
53548Wo n''t you come in now with me?"
53548Wo n''t you, Elizabeth?"
53548Would n''t it be fine if we had the same courses, then we could study together?"
53548Would n''t she go out with the others when it closed?"
53548Would you mind if I called you by your first name, it seems so strange to say''Miss''to the girl I''m to live with all the year?
53548Would you mind sleeping with Anne Cockran that night so Connie could have your bed?"
53548Would you take this chiffon, or does it look too soiled?"
53548You could go four years and graduate if you wanted to, and instead you''re only going freshman year?
53548You did n''t do it on purpose did you, Elizabeth, because I--"[ Illustration:"WHY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
53548You do n''t mind if I look around, do you?
53548You have n''t met her, have you?
53548You live in Merton, I believe?
53548You wo n''t mind the short ride out here alone, will you?
53548You wonder why I dressed up in Jack''s costume?
53548You would n''t mind going with that good- looking room- mate of mine if I could persuade Connie Huntington to accompany me, would you?
53548You''re going to Ashton College, are n''t you?
53548You''ve drawn first round, have n''t you, against Cora Hammond?
53548Your division does n''t meet to- day, does it?
53548do you mean that you are going to be a special?"
53548go?"
53548good evening, Miss Cabot, what can I do for you so late at night?
53548you would n''t cut your recitations the very first day, would you, Jean?"
20821A hazing party is n''t a half- bad idea, is it?
20821A what?
20821About running into me?
20821Am I wet?
20821And how many does that make for you to- day?
20821And is n''t the Princess a dear? 20821 And it costs a good deal to be everybody''s guardian angel, does n''t it, dearie?"
20821And we can both send you flowers, ca n''t we?
20821And what are we to do now?
20821And what''s the use of borrowing trouble?
20821And where would the costumes for the play have been, with you laid up in the infirmary for a month?
20821And you are sure about yours without testing it?
20821And you do n''t care about the French play?
20821And you do n''t think Jean could possibly not have heard of it?
20821And you really want to go?
20821Any fun?
20821Any other nominations?
20821Are there any other nominations?
20821Are you really a freshman?
20821Are you taking notes for future use, Mary?
20821Back so soon?
20821Besides-- oh, Bob, have you looked at the bulletin- board this afternoon?
20821Betty,Helen demanded,"is n''t Teddie Wilson trying for a part in our play?"
20821Betty,she went on quickly,"have you been hunting for something?
20821Bob, where is Roberta Lewis? 20821 But Betty,"Rachel took her up,"do n''t you think it takes executive ability to be on committees and plan things?
20821But are n''t we interrupting?
20821But did she know there were six of us?
20821But did you hear about Sara Allen''s men? 20821 But it''s a nice idea, is n''t it?
20821But where could we stay over night?
20821By the way,said Madeline,"have you heard that this year''s junior ushers are going to keep up the precedent, out of compliment to us?"
20821Can I come in a kimono?
20821Can I help you in any way?
20821Can we wade to shore?
20821Clara, will you try to find Emily Davis? 20821 Coming, Madeline?"
20821Could we have a game this afternoon? 20821 Could you come for a walk?"
20821Could you wait just a second?
20821Dear me,said Roberta in frightened tones,"do you suppose my father and my cousin will feel obliged to come?"
20821Did I tell you that Dorothy King is coming after all?
20821Did Mr. Ware have a dog?
20821Did her sister get well?
20821Did n''t I say that I''d go in the box? 20821 Did n''t you think I could get a part?
20821Did she tell you about it while you helped her dress?
20821Did you ever see such a mess?
20821Did you hear her imploring the organ- man in her most classic English not to let me take the monkey out in front to show to the President? 20821 Did you hear that horrid Lucile?
20821Did you know that Miss Carter tutored in French?
20821Did you see it, Miss Kingston?
20821Did you want to see me,she asked,"or did you only come up with Betty?"
20821Do I know her? 20821 Do I see creamed chicken?"
20821Do n''t I? 20821 Do n''t you know me, 19--?"
20821Do n''t you mean respectively, Bob?
20821Do n''t you see that it''s some sophomore joke?
20821Do n''t you think Babe would pop out of a box better?
20821Do n''t you think they''re cracked, maybe?
20821Do n''t you think,she began,"that we ought to hear from the girl who had most to do with our getting this money?
20821Do n''t you what?
20821Do n''t you wish we could give it all over again?
20821Do you know Jane Drew? 20821 Do you mean that I ca n''t have my usual three slices of lemon?"
20821Do you mean that it''s like her to give you something for commencement that you wo n''t have much use for afterward?
20821Do you really think I could get a part?
20821Do you really think so?
20821Do you remember my kid roommate, Ashley Dwight? 20821 Do you remember what she was like two years ago, Betty?"
20821Do you suppose Georgia Ames will be on this one?
20821Do you suppose we shall ever get dry again?
20821Do you suppose you could let me lift you up?
20821Do you think it was so very dreadful?
20821Do you think there were any others to- day who did n''t want her?
20821Does Mary know?
20821Does n''t it?
20821Does that mean that she ca n''t try for a part in the play?
20821Everything has come out right, has n''t it?
20821For they ca n''t plant the ivy in the rain,she thought,"and if they do n''t plant it how can they sing the song?"
20821Fresh?
20821Freshman?
20821Going abroad for the summer, you lucky girl? 20821 Has Caroline seen you studying yet?"
20821Has it taught you that?
20821Has n''t she broken her collar- bone?
20821Has she been doing damage in here, too?
20821Has she told you, Helen?
20821Have n''t you noticed what a lot of those have been lost? 20821 Have we really got to go so soon?"
20821Have you been telling her that?
20821Have you forgotten how to play basket ball, T.?
20821Have you looked all through that?
20821Have you said that to Eleanor?
20821Have you told her yet that you want them?
20821Helen Chase Adams,returned Betty, severely,"is it possible you do n''t know that she got a condition and ca n''t try?"
20821Helen,she began,"did I have on my pearl pin when we started down- stairs to- night?
20821How about Madeline Ayres?
20821How about Monday afternoon?
20821How about the shirt waists?
20821How are we going to get off?
20821How are you so sure of that?
20821How can there be?
20821How could I?
20821How did I know?
20821How did you ever guess that she was the one?
20821How did you get your cold?
20821How do people influence other people?
20821How do you mean?
20821How much brains do you think it takes to find that out, Bob Parker? 20821 How under the sun did you hear about that psychology lecture?"
20821I beg your pardon, but are you Miss Stuart?
20821I do n''t believe she had much fun out of it, do you, Ted?
20821I say, Betty,cried Bob eagerly,"did you know that Christy had gone home?
20821I say, ai n''t you folks goin''home till mornin''?
20821I think she''d like that, do n''t you?
20821I''m awfully tired, are n''t you?
20821I''ve been here ever since luncheon,Jean went on,"and I was just going, was n''t I, Miss Carter?
20821I? 20821 If you thought I had a condition in French, why did n''t you go and ask mademoiselle about it?
20821In the house, you mean?
20821In what?
20821Is Miss Marie Howard in this bunch?
20821Is Nita sure hers was stolen?
20821Is he generally so-- so decided and, well,--so quick to make up his mind?
20821Is it a family heirloom?
20821Is it one of the things you thought of while you were being run away with?
20821Is n''t it jolly that it comes this week? 20821 Is n''t it just like her?"
20821Is n''t it time to start for class- meeting?
20821Is n''t it-- pretty-- stony?
20821Is n''t it?
20821Is n''t she just about the last person you''d select for a professor''s wife?
20821Is n''t she just like some little girl who used to go to school with you-- that funny, stupid Ermengarde?
20821Is n''t that a nice expression? 20821 Is n''t that what college is supposed to teach us to do?"
20821Is that old too?
20821Is that the twenty- minutes- to or the ten o''clock?
20821Is that you, Polly?
20821Is the tassel right?
20821Is there anybody here present whose notes on Hegel have the appearance of making sense?
20821It all looks good to me,said Madeline,"but-- is there a top to spin?"
20821It is n''t right to leave our lovely things around so, is it?
20821It''s a decided hit, is n''t it? 20821 It''s a pathetic case, is n''t it?"
20821It''s a queer time to have a class- meeting,she said,"and I''m not sure that it''s constitutional, but who cares about that?
20821It''s long after five now, and-- Eleanor Watson, are you trying to crawl out of your responsibilities? 20821 It''s nice, is n''t it?"
20821It''s queer, is n''t it, when she has so much money? 20821 It''s rather nice being just by ourselves, is n''t it?"
20821It''s too big a question for us to try to settle, is n''t it, girls? 20821 Jean,"said Betty, desperately,"do n''t you want the play to be as good as it possibly can?"
20821Jolly fun though, was n''t it?
20821Let Eleanor take hers?
20821Madeline, will you fix Ram Dass''s turban? 20821 Mary Brooks, whatever do you expect to do with a trousseau like that in this simple little academic village?"
20821May I come in?
20821Miss Hale lives just out of New York, does n''t she? 20821 Miss Kingston,"she said,"there have been fifteen senior plays at Harding, have n''t there?
20821Nita,she demanded breathlessly,"did you say Betty thought of Roberta?"
20821Not even after to- day?
20821Now, Bob,Nita Reese remonstrated,"do n''t you think you''re a bit hard on Jean this time?
20821Now, Mary Brooks, do you see what I can do? 20821 Oh, Miss Eastman, I do n''t remember-- did you say to- morrow at four?"
20821Oh, Miss Lewis,he called over to Roberta,"have you learned the Portia scenes too?
20821Oh, did I?
20821Oh, did n''t I tell you? 20821 Oh, you have n''t any of you gone yet, have you?"
20821Ought n''t we to be starting?
20821P. S. How are the wires working?
20821Pretty grand to be sitting in a box with the celebrity of the evening, is n''t it, Ashley?
20821Roberta Lewis,cried Betty accusingly,"why did n''t you tell me that you knew Ermengarde''s part?"
20821Ruth Howard?
20821Seniors do n''t generally tutor their last term unless they have to, do they? 20821 Shall I appoint Eleanor Watson or have her elected?"
20821Shall I go on to Friday afternoon?
20821She is n''t exactly a thief, is she?
20821The what?
20821The''Merry Hearts''are going to decide about passing on the society, are n''t they?
20821Then how did she happen to come to light at all?
20821Then why did you drag her in at the last minute?
20821Then will you propose her?
20821Then you never played before you came here?
20821Those opposed?
20821Was it all right?
20821Was n''t last night fun? 20821 Was that one of the thirty that you were sitting on the stairs with at the dance?"
20821Was there one for every scratch on your face?
20821We had a jolly dinner together once, did n''t we?
20821We''re content to bask in the reflected glory of our friends, are n''t we, Eleanor?
20821Well then, what about Jean?
20821Well, I came just after you''d gone and is n''t fourteen minutes to waste on dressing an age? 20821 Well, have n''t we had a funny time?"
20821Well, will they think we are office- grabbers, if I put up Eleanor?
20821Well, you will go to our house- dance, wo n''t you?
20821Were many people conditioned in French?
20821Were n''t you going to stay anyway?
20821What I mean is, are all those she tutors conditioned?
20821What are you all looking so solemn about?
20821What are you going to try for, Bob?
20821What class are you?
20821What do you two say to a picnic to- morrow?
20821What has Nita lost?
20821What in the world are you two talking about?
20821What in the world have you been doing?
20821What in the world is the matter?
20821What is executive ability, anyway?
20821What kind of a class is it this year?
20821What kind of a summer have you had, K?
20821What was such a good idea?
20821What''s a dark horse?
20821What''s happened now?
20821What''s the awful rush about that bacon- roast?
20821What''s the use of a place in the country unless there are children to wade in the brook, and chase the chickens and ride the horses? 20821 What''s the use?"
20821What?
20821When did you get back? 20821 Where are you hurt, dear?"
20821Where are you, Eleanor?
20821Where does she go?
20821Where have you been all summer, Rachel?
20821Where have you been all this time?
20821Where is Betty, anyway?
20821Where is the sun?
20821Where?
20821While we are talking about conditions,she began,"does your friend Anne Carter tutor in French?"
20821Who can tell?
20821Who cares for Madeline Ayres?
20821Who on earth are the Moonshiners?
20821Who said anything about love?
20821Who told you that?
20821Who''ll be Shylock, Teddie?
20821Who''s going to take your place, Betty?
20821Who''s hungry anyway after last night?
20821Who''s the stunning girl in the second row, next the aisle? 20821 Who?"
20821Why ca n''t we march too?
20821Why could n''t Emily and Christy have braced up and got it themselves?
20821Why did n''t you tell me that long ago? 20821 Why did n''t you tell us that he spent the summer at the same place that you did?"
20821Why do n''t we begin?
20821Why do n''t you appoint a committee to take charge of it?
20821Why do n''t you appoint some one to take her place right now?
20821Why do n''t you appoint some one, Marie?
20821Why do n''t you have a toy- shop for your senior entertainment?
20821Why do n''t you make up something?
20821Why do n''t you tell us what it is?
20821Why do n''t you?
20821Why in the world should you bother to do that?
20821Why should I, please?
20821Why, Georgia Ames, is it about you? 20821 Why, what are you doing here?"
20821Why, who else is there?
20821Will you give them back now?
20821With or without food?
20821Wo n''t you take me up to your room?
20821Would n''t you have taken them away?
20821You did n''t know it was her room?
20821You do n''t think that your pin was stolen?
20821You do n''t think we''ve been too ambitious, do you, Miss Kingston?
20821You have n''t seen Ermengarde-- that is, I mean Janet Kirk, have you?
20821You mean that she has been caught stealing before?
20821You mean that you want me to go and get her?
20821You want to give up Bassanio?
20821You''re going to study art in New York, you say? 20821 You''ve pulled her through after all, have n''t you?"
20821Your vocabulary''s getting a big increase this morning, is n''t it, Clara?
20821_ Why_, girls,cried Nita excitedly,"as long as we did n''t give away the''Merry Hearts,''we can go on being them, ca n''t we?"
20821And are n''t you all longing for a glimpse of Bohemia?"
20821And ca n''t you just taste the spread she''ll bring?"
20821And has n''t each one been better than any of those that came before it?"
20821And if she was coming, why did n''t she come?
20821And then,"Is it possible I''ve found somebody you do n''t know?
20821And yet, after all, could it have been so very dreadful?
20821Anne Carter-- oh, Miss Adams, how did you know?"
20821Any objections?"
20821Are her arms all right?"
20821Are n''t we''Merry Hearts''?"
20821Betty, do you suppose she would be willing to come and read the part?"
20821Betty, will you go for these three girls on Main Street?"
20821But I can tell you-- do you play basket- ball?
20821But do n''t you think that the younger classes will find their own best ways of keeping up the right spirit at Harding?
20821But what can you do, Betty, when some one takes a fancy to you?
20821By the way, whom are they going to have for toastmistress at class- supper?
20821CHAPTER XI A DARK HORSE DEFINED"Did you see Mr. Masters in chapel this morning with Miss Kingston?"
20821CHAPTER XIII GEORGIA''S AMETHYST PENDANT"Has your man come yet, Lucy?"
20821Ca n''t I bring him up to call on you some day when the real Miss Ames will probably be willing to amuse Ashley?"
20821Ca n''t you honestly think of anything that she might make a handle of?"
20821Ca n''t you two think of a way?"
20821Can a person envy herself, Rachel?"
20821Could you point her out, please?"
20821Did I tell you that Babbie Hildreth''s uncle has offered me a position in his school for next fall?"
20821Did n''t Barbara tell you?"
20821Did n''t I graduate last year, Babbie?"
20821Did n''t I tell you that I''d come up to rest?
20821Did you know about Eleanor''s being toastmistress?"
20821Did you know they were going to have it?"
20821Did you write her, Helen?"
20821Do n''t we go right up to her room, Eleanor?"
20821Do n''t you know that that stupid girl did n''t stand for anybody but her own stupid self?"
20821Do n''t you know the action of going home?"
20821Do n''t you know the difference between going stand- up with a lot of other freshmen, and sitting in a box with Miss Wales and two Yale men?"
20821Do n''t you remember how we were always getting caught with our kimonos on and our rooms fixed for sweep- day by girls we''d never seen?"
20821Do n''t you remember tying him there?"
20821Do n''t you want to go with me to see Anne Carter?
20821Do you know who''s going to try for Shylock?"
20821Do you like to think, Miss Adams?"
20821Do you suppose Mary Horton would take it now?"
20821Do you suppose the man who gave the money would be willing that we should use our share of it for scholarships?
20821Do you think I''d have missed my own commencement?"
20821Does n''t time just fly at Harding?"
20821Even if you asked me because I''m the other Georgia''s namesake, you would n''t do it if you did n''t like me a little for myself, would you?"
20821Fair Portia''s counterfeit?''"
20821For who knew how much getting into the"Argus"might mean to that unknown other girl?
20821Girls, do you realize that commencement is only five weeks off?"
20821Has n''t it just been beautifully cleaned?
20821Has n''t she taken part in any of your college performances?"
20821Has she struck up some sort of queer friendship with Miss Carter or was she being tutored too?"
20821Have n''t I given them right back?"
20821Have you any pink silk?
20821Have you looked on the floor and in all your drawers?
20821Have you noticed that?"
20821Her room does n''t look much as if she was helping to put herself through college, does it?"
20821How did Georgia''s song go?"
20821How did she take it?
20821How many pennies will there be in five dollars and a fare from Boston, Lucile?"
20821I did n''t have it on this morning, did I?"
20821I mean did you know she has n''t come back?
20821I say, Barbara, did you know there was a girl in last year''s cast who had had a condition at midyears?
20821I say, Betty, would n''t the Blunderbuss make a superb jack- in- the- box?
20821I think Jean has been aiming for that, and I also think-- you do n''t mind if I say it, Betty?"
20821If Dr. Hinsdale had been there, would he have felt this way about it?
20821Is anything doing to- night?"
20821Is everybody in 19-- on so many committees, do you suppose?"
20821Is everybody ready?"
20821Is it two weeks or two years since I saw you?"
20821Is n''t he a dear?"
20821Is n''t it just splendid?"
20821Is n''t it strange?"
20821Is n''t she comical?"
20821Is n''t that pretty cute?"
20821Is that what you mean, Bob?"
20821Is there anything for Tuesday?"
20821It will be perfectly awful to make a fizzle of it, and everything depends on getting a good Shylock, does n''t it, Miss Kingston?"
20821It''s easy enough to guess who the rest of you are, so why not take off those hot things and be sociable?"
20821Just the same she''s never any good in Gest and Pant, is she, Teddie?"
20821Masters?''
20821May I ask why you young ladies kept her up your sleeves so long?"
20821May I have her for Tuesday breakfast?
20821May n''t I go behind?
20821Meanwhile, will you please tell Barbara?
20821Miss Adams, would you be willing, instead of writing her a note, to tell her personally about this?"
20821Must you, Betty?"
20821Not a bit nervy, are they?
20821Now I must go and study Bassanio,"and Bob departed murmuring,"''What find I here?
20821Now is n''t that splendid?"
20821Now what the mischief"--Madeline pulled out drawer after drawer of her chiffonier--"can I have done with those masks?"
20821Of course there were exceptions to this rule, but the girl who said at a campus dinner- table,"If I am Portia, who is there tall enough for Bassanio?"
20821Oh, Bob, what shall we do if she''s badly hurt?"
20821Oh, a freshman, is she?
20821Oh, yes, and where do you board?"
20821Say, can I please put my head in your lap?"
20821Shall I begin with to- morrow afternoon?
20821Shall I see you to- morrow or not till I get to New York?"
20821Shall I stop and ask her on my way?"
20821She told me not to speak of her having wanted to try, but I do n''t see why she should n''t have a chance now, do you?
20821Tell the others, wo n''t you, girls?
20821The Italian bootblack at the station knows him, and-- did he promise fair and square to get them up here, Lucile?"
20821The grinds are supposed to be true, are n''t they?
20821The men are coming, I suppose?"
20821The world is a big place, is n''t it?"
20821Then he sat back and looked at me and said''Well?''
20821Then would you try to borrow some?
20821They elect her to- day, do n''t they?"
20821They''re all human, are n''t they?"
20821To quote the great Dr. Hinsdale, do you get my point?"
20821Was n''t it nice of him?
20821Was n''t that first day queer and creepy?"
20821Was she the senior Harrison, better known as the Champion Blunderbuss?
20821We do n''t miss a thing from here, do we?"
20821Well, what did that matter?
20821Were you going to try for either of those parts?"
20821What can we do?"
20821What did she think?"
20821What did you think of me all that time?"
20821What do you suppose we''ve got now, Helen?"
20821What dreadful thing had she unwittingly been a party to?
20821What girl would n''t be who called Betty Wales by her first name, and was n''t one bit afraid to"talk back"to the clever Miss Ayres?
20821What has come over Jean Eastman, Betty?"
20821What''s Thursday?"
20821When is Mary Brooks scheduled to arrive?"
20821When is the wedding, Betty?"
20821Where did you get it?"
20821Where have you been?"
20821Where''s Eleanor?"
20821Where''s the supper- chart?"
20821Who ca n''t come then to a''Merry Hearts''meeting?"
20821Who do you suppose will be there?"
20821Who wants to go on a bacon- roast in hot weather?"
20821Who would n''t?
20821Who''s going to have first go at carrying the turkey?"
20821Who''s going to meet Mary Brooks?"
20821Who''s there?"
20821Whose room did you think you were in?"
20821Why are you so interested in Anne''s pupils, Betty?"
20821Why did n''t you say you''d like it used in the other department?
20821Why did n''t you tell people that you could act like that?"
20821Why should n''t she pay me back now that she has a good chance?
20821Will they report it?"
20821Will you please ask Annie to bring up my dinner?
20821Wo n''t it be fun-- to see the Clan get off that?
20821Wo n''t it be splendid to have a''Merry Heart''for toastmistress?"
20821Wo n''t you meet me at Cuyler''s for supper?"
20821Wo n''t you sit down?"
20821Wo n''t you take somebody?"
20821Would you mind coming just a little way down- town, Betty?
20821Would you mind telling me who gave it to you?
20821You have n''t forgotten Mary Brooks''s rumor, have you?
20821You will propose Eleanor, wo n''t you?"
20821You''ll go again soon, wo n''t you?"
20821have n''t you heard?
31387A little,laughed Helen,"but I do n''t suppose they could, do you?"
31387About whom?
31387And a murder?
31387And do you suppose the faculty notice such things as that and comment on them to one another?
31387And does it pay when you have to work so hard for it?
31387And how about that cookie, Roberta?
31387And is Miss Wales in-- Miss Betty Wales?
31387And may I have the heart- shaped sign?
31387And now you''re going to do the Bandersnatch, are n''t you?
31387And what?
31387And who are you?
31387And you do it all?
31387And you think that on the whole she''s worth while?
31387And-- I hope I''m not being rude-- but do girls-- do you advertise things down on that bulletin board? 31387 Another Harvard man?
31387Are n''t you excited?
31387Are n''t you glad you came?
31387Are n''t you glad, girls?
31387Are n''t you going to sit with me on the way over, little sister?
31387Are n''t you tired to death sitting still?
31387Are there any more remarks?
31387Are they friends, do you know?
31387Are they the youths who monopolize our piazza every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon?
31387Are those skirts?
31387Are you?
31387Are you?
31387Back so soon?
31387Ben drivin''pretty fast, hain''t you?
31387Betty Wales, what are you doing? 31387 Betty, would you please hook my collar, and would one of you see what time it really is?
31387Betty,said Nan soberly,"you do n''t do things like this?"
31387But are you sure you want me?
31387But how in the world did you happen to have it?
31387But if we do n''t find her?
31387But if we do n''t?
31387But is n''t it queer that Roberta wo n''t let us praise her? 31387 But is n''t it so?
31387But is n''t that first bit lovely? 31387 But why not leave it to her friends to hearten her up?"
31387But wo n''t the girls guess the reason?
31387But you want to know what I was there for, do n''t you? 31387 By the way, Betty, would you run down after gym to get our old order sheet and put up a new one?
31387By the way, Betty,said Rachel Morrison,"will you take some more dancing pupils?
31387Can I get into the golf club section this time?
31387Can you?
31387Could n''t you manage it?
31387Did I say blue? 31387 Did n''t you know that Roberta and I have a crush on each other?
31387Did she really say that?
31387Did she tell you?
31387Did you get a room, honey?
31387Did you get one, too? 31387 Did you get your note, Miss Watson?"
31387Did you invent them?
31387Did you look up all the constructions in the Livy?
31387Did you see any men?
31387Did you tell her about the shelcuff''s neck?
31387Do n''t I know it? 31387 Do n''t you even know what you''re going to write on or anything that you''re going to say?"
31387Do n''t you get any-- any help from home?
31387Do n''t you keep the ten o''clock rule?
31387Do n''t you mean black wings, Katherine?
31387Do you know that Prexy had forbidden sliding on dust- pans?
31387Do you like making it up later?
31387Do you mean for me to go ahead and call, and if Eleanor answers not to say anything to her about your having come?
31387Do you mean that there is such a story-- that fifty freshmen are to be sent home after mid- years?
31387Do you see any one?
31387Do you see much of Eleanor Watson these days?
31387Do you suppose he''s really tired?
31387Do you suppose mamma would care?
31387Do you suppose the hills are very steep, Betty?
31387Do you suppose this is the top?
31387Do you suppose you could sit up to study to- night if you had to?
31387Do you take any freshman courses?
31387Do you think I do n''t know your handwriting? 31387 Do you think I''d ever show my face again if I failed?"
31387Do you?
31387Does n''t it?
31387Does n''t she look lost and unhappy?
31387Does the story of the play take place in the evening?
31387Eleanor, is that you? 31387 Eleanor, why wo n''t you give yourself a chance?
31387Everything? 31387 Found out what?"
31387Going to be gone all day?
31387Had a good time, did n''t you?
31387Had n''t you heard?
31387Had your dinner?
31387Has Laurie roped you into that?
31387Has she really asked you, Roberta?
31387Have n''t I given up the Hilton to be with you?
31387Have n''t you observed yet that I have a bad case of the Watson pride?
31387Have n''t you worked on it any?
31387Have you begun your song already?
31387Helen, who did you say asked you to the Westcott?
31387Helen,she said, as she opened her door,"have you noticed that all college girls have one particular talent?
31387How did you do it, Miss Lewis?
31387How did you like the class- meeting?
31387How do you do it, please?
31387How do you happen to know her well?
31387How do you suppose they feel now?
31387How is my friend Helen Chase Adams coming on?
31387How much more time do we have before the barge comes?
31387How''s your friend the registrar?
31387How?
31387I think she feels hurt because the girls do n''t get to like her better, but how can they when she does n''t give them any chance?
31387I''m not, am I, Betty?
31387I''m sorry to bother you when you''re so pressed for time, but could you hook me up? 31387 I''m sure I recognized her voice when she asked you for the fan, and then have n''t you noticed her distant manner?"
31387I-- why, what could I say after that dreadful message?
31387Is Miss Emily Davis present?
31387Is it Helen''s paper?
31387Is it long?
31387Is it possible that you do n''t know about Mountain Day, children?
31387Is it possible you did n''t know that?
31387Is it?
31387Is n''t it fine of Helen to get it and make our tea- table so complete?
31387Is n''t it fine? 31387 Is n''t it queer how many different views of a subject there are?"
31387Is n''t it queer? 31387 Is n''t she fun?"
31387Is one of you my roommate? 31387 Is that why she asked you?"
31387Is there a robbery?
31387Is this all college?
31387Is this the top of the notch?
31387It was disagreeable of them, was n''t it?
31387It''s a pity about her, is n''t it?
31387It''s hemmed, is n''t it? 31387 Jack, how could you?"
31387Just like these foolish little freshmen; is n''t it?
31387Just like you?
31387Many orders?
31387Mary, is Sarah coming back, do you know?
31387May I borrow some paper?
31387Now which building is which?
31387Of course you wo n''t tell her that I spoke to you?
31387Oh Betty, it''s too good to be true,she cried,"but are you sure you want me?"
31387Oh, Eleanor, Eleanor, are n''t you there?
31387Oh, Eleanor, how did you ever find out?
31387Oh, Helen,she called, as she dashed into the room,"was n''t it fun?
31387Oh, Mary, where did you put on that lovely tan?
31387Oh, are you Miss Adams?
31387Oh, why not?
31387Our what?
31387Pardon me,she said, reaching out a hand for Betty''s golf clubs,"but are n''t you a stranger here?
31387Patronizing the genius, do you mean?
31387Really?
31387Really?
31387Resign?
31387Satisfied?
31387Scairt, were you? 31387 Sent what to whom?"
31387Sha n''t you?
31387Shall we go through Main Street?
31387Shall we wait?
31387Shall we?
31387Shall-- I-- come-- for-- you?
31387She''s one too many for us, is n''t she?
31387Should I, Betty?
31387Sing a lil''?
31387So did I. I think we''ve stumbled into a pretty serious- minded crowd at Mrs. Chapin''s, do n''t you?
31387Suppose we should meet the night- watchman?
31387The what?
31387Then how would you get home?
31387Then those birds were just common, ordinary ones that I''d seen before?
31387Then why did she ask you?
31387Then why do n''t you make it longer, and lower in the neck?
31387Then why do n''t you tell Miss Mansfield so?
31387Then why not appeal to the same people who influenced her before?
31387Then will she please-- why, exactly what is it that you want of her?
31387Then you do n''t think I was to blame?
31387Then you''ll come?
31387Three of you live together?
31387To blame? 31387 To- morrow?
31387Votes for what, I wonder? 31387 Was n''t it fun?"
31387Was n''t it fun?
31387Was n''t it fun?
31387Well, are you awfully devoted to Miss Mills?
31387Well, have you found out?
31387Well, what''s to be done about it now?
31387Well, you''ve heard about the physical tests for the army and navy, have n''t you? 31387 Well?"
31387Well?
31387Well?
31387Were n''t Eleanor and Roberta fine?
31387Were n''t there all kinds of girls when you were in college, Nan? 31387 Were those what you call stunts?"
31387Were you dreadfully frightened?
31387What are you doing, Roberta?
31387What can we do? 31387 What did you do?"
31387What did you get?
31387What difference does that make?
31387What do you mean?
31387What do you mean?
31387What do you suppose has happened now? 31387 What freshmen?"
31387What in the world do you mean, Jack?
31387What is the trouble?
31387What note?
31387What on earth are you girls doing?
31387What should you say, Mary?
31387What size was it?
31387What sort of girl is Miss Watson?
31387What''s come over Eleanor Watson?
31387What''s the difference? 31387 What''s the joke?"
31387What''s the joke?
31387What''s the matter now?
31387What''s the play?
31387What''s the use in making people believe you''re something that you''re not?
31387What?
31387Where are you going to be this summer?
31387Where is the theme?
31387Where shall you stay?
31387Who asked her to dinner to- day?
31387Who cares?
31387Who do you think are the bright and shining stars among the freshmen, Lil?
31387Who gave you the rest of this conservatory, Betty?
31387Who is he?
31387Who is she, anyway?
31387Who sent you those violets?
31387Who''s going to drive?
31387Who-- the men?
31387Who?
31387Who?
31387Whom shall you ask, Betty?
31387Why Caroline Barnes, do you mean you are sent home?
31387Why did n''t they let us know beforehand-- give us time to think who we''d have?
31387Why did n''t you beach the canoe, and stay on shore?
31387Why did n''t you say you were going to Winsted?
31387Why did n''t you say you were going?
31387Why did n''t you tell us sooner?
31387Why did you try all those queer ones?
31387Why do n''t some of you elect this work?
31387Why do n''t you apply your own rules?
31387Why do n''t you ask about it at the registrar''s office?
31387Why do n''t you try it on to be sure it''s all right? 31387 Why do n''t you try to make a few sophomores famous?"
31387Why do n''t you tutor?
31387Why not ask the class to choose its speaker? 31387 Why not?
31387Why, singles and doubles-- twosomes and foursomes you call them, do n''t you? 31387 Why, we could n''t come to college if we did n''t, could we?"
31387Why, where are you going?
31387Why?
31387Why?
31387Why?
31387Will Miss Davis please speak to us?
31387Will somebody move to adjourn?
31387Will you call her attention to this, please?
31387Will you give me a supper at Holmes''s if I''m right?
31387Will you lend me a pencil and paper? 31387 Wo n''t it be fun to fix it?
31387Wo n''t she do well, and wo n''t the house be proud of her?
31387Wo n''t you come home right off to tell me about it? 31387 Wo n''t you read it to us?"
31387Wo n''t you walk over to the campus with me, little girl?
31387Would he arrest us?
31387Would n''t you be afraid?
31387Would you dare?
31387Would you please to come back at four?
31387Would you wear the blue silk waist or the brown dress?
31387Yes indeed,said Mary,"they''re all ordered, and the more money the better, n''est ce pas, Betty?
31387Yes, but which is my best?
31387Yes, did n''t you?
31387You do n''t like figures of speech, do you?
31387You got your chance, did n''t you? 31387 You have hours off, do n''t you?
31387You mean you do n''t find work enough?
31387You should, should you?
31387You''re going to order carriages, of course?
31387You''re going to take me back?
31387And do n''t they all look lovely?"
31387And if Betty refused to answer she would say slyly,"Who met you at the station, did you tell me?
31387And later she added, Why should n''t she ask Miss Barnes to the play, since Eleanor was n''t going to?
31387And should she ask her cousin Jack Burgess up from Harvard for the concert, or would it be better to invite Mr. Parsons?
31387And what would father say if they did n''t get their money''s worth?
31387And where was the last island?
31387And yet she must think of some one, for was not this the opportunity she had so coveted?
31387And yet what was the use of bothering her head again when she had thought it all over in the afternoon?
31387And yet why should she hesitate?
31387Any of you want to come?"
31387Are n''t they lovely names, Roberta?"
31387Are you all good for a sleigh ride to- morrow afternoon?"
31387Are you going my way?"
31387Are you satisfied?"
31387Are you sure we have enough gingersnaps?"
31387Beginning to remember?"
31387Betty laughed at her expression of alarm, and Mary demanded,"Why not?"
31387Betty was staring at him blankly,"Why did I send''Bob''that valentine?
31387But are n''t we to know the person''s name?"
31387But girls, where did you get the descriptions?
31387But what are we going to do now?"
31387But what could she do?
31387But what makes you think that Miss Hale knows?"
31387But when she called softly,"Eleanor, are you there?
31387But who on earth could it be-- in the Westcott House?"
31387By the way, when do the forget- me- nots blossom?"
31387CHAPTER IV WHOSE PHOTOGRAPH?
31387Can I do anything?"
31387Can you swim?"
31387Chapin?"
31387Could I help you, perhaps, about getting your luggage up?"
31387Could Kate Denise help?
31387Could Rachel Morrison put it in from that distance?
31387Could she?
31387Could you point her out?"
31387Did I meet her?"
31387Did I tell you that mother sent a big box of cheese crackers?"
31387Did it travel as fast as the original story had done?
31387Did n''t he write to you too?
31387Did n''t you ever know people who did''things like this''?"
31387Did the girls all accept Miss Mansfield''s denial as authoritative?
31387Did they guess that she was a freshman"and homesick"?
31387Did you buy back the chafing- dish?"
31387Did you enjoy your frolic?"
31387Did you ever know her to change her mind on a subject of this sort, because her friends disapproved of her?"
31387Did you ever see a harness like that, Betty?"
31387Did you ever see so many girls?"
31387Did you get on the campus too?"
31387Did you happen to notice that I cut three classes straight this morning?"
31387Did you know that Christy had asked me to play with her in the inter- class foursomes?"
31387Did you see her face when Eleanor turned her down just now?
31387Did you tell him I sent it?"
31387Do n''t all the rest of you want to come in here and work?
31387Do n''t you agree with me?"
31387Do n''t you remember her laughing about getting turned around every time she went to New York?"
31387Do n''t you see?
31387Do n''t you think so?"
31387Do n''t you think we''ll win?
31387Do you have one?"
31387Do you know her?
31387Do you know how to dance?"
31387Do you mind?"
31387Do you really like Miss Brooks?"
31387Do you remember saying that this horse was tired?
31387Do you suppose Eleanor Watson is n''t going to make up with her at all?"
31387Do you suppose Miss Watson would play?"
31387Do you think it''s wrong to exchange her industry for my dollars?"
31387Does she know how to manage a boat?"
31387For she thought,"I can see him raise his eyebrows and smile and say,''so you want to throw up the sponge, do you?
31387Girls, did we hear the nestle sing?"
31387Had the last minute passed?
31387Had the"trouble"that Mary had foreseen anything to do with Dorothy''s questions?
31387Have n''t you finished that everlasting paper?"
31387Have n''t you noticed the signs on the''For Sale''bulletin?"
31387Have you a lot of pretty things?
31387Have you sprained your wrist?
31387He teaches psychology, does n''t he?
31387Helen, do you feel as if they''d push you under the railing?"
31387Here everything is in the air; you are never sure where you stand----""What can I do for you, Miss Watson?"
31387How did people think the rumor had started?
31387How did you know I had n''t come in?"
31387How do you like our room, Katherine?"
31387How do you suppose it started?"
31387How long has it been in circulation?"
31387How many minutes before our light goes out?
31387How''s your game?"
31387I could n''t speak to her; but would you tell me please just why any one should-- why you care?"
31387I despise you?"
31387I thought perhaps-- how much have we made?"
31387If not, how should she tell her story?
31387If she said nothing what would it mean?
31387Is anything else going on then?
31387Is it really you?"
31387Is it two or three weeks to mid- years?"
31387Is n''t Katherine jolly?
31387Is n''t it lovely?"
31387Is n''t it nice of them?"
31387Is n''t she comical in her gym suit, anyway?
31387Is n''t that a nice idea?"
31387Is n''t that fine?
31387Is n''t that nice-- girlish pleasures?
31387Is n''t that queer?"
31387Is she so talented?"
31387Is the Kappa Phi dance coming off at last?"
31387Is to- day the sixteenth?"
31387Is yours anything like that?"
31387It is n''t a bit fair, but what''s to be done about it?"
31387It was lovely of you-- lovely-- but ought we to take it?"
31387It''s a pity, is n''t it, that she has n''t great good sense to match her beauty?
31387Jack"--with sudden interest, as she recognized the name--"what did you mean by that postscript?"
31387Katherine, do you mind if we take this down?"
31387Katherine, nursing a bruised knee on the hill above, had opened her mouth to call encouragement, when a low"Who is it?"
31387Know his sister?"
31387Malaria-- who cared for that?
31387Mary did n''t believe it herself, and why should we?"
31387May I call later?
31387May I send a note by you?"
31387My freshman cousin''s up, you know, and homesick and----""Oh, girls, is n''t it fun to be back?"
31387Now I should n''t know the nestle or the shelcuff, but I can put them down, ca n''t I?"
31387Now do n''t say''why not?''
31387Now what can we do?"
31387Now will you come down- town to lunch with us?"
31387Now, can we have this point thoroughly discussed?"
31387Now, would you hold my coat?"
31387Oh, Betty, will you truly forgive me?"
31387Oh, Eleanor, where are you?"
31387Oh, Eleanor, why did you do it?"
31387Oh, only Dottie King?"
31387Oh, what shall I do?
31387Or should she come back and somehow change the failure to success?
31387Paradise-- had they named it so because one ate there of the fruit of the tree of knowledge?
31387Presently she asked,"Girls, what is a back row reputation?"
31387Reed?"
31387Shall I see you in New York at Christmas?
31387Shall we finish these up?"
31387Shall you go on the campus?"
31387She hunted up the paper and gave it to me and then she said,''With which division do you recite, Miss Wales?''
31387She is lovely, is n''t she?"
31387She is?
31387She reads beautifully and sometimes she says very interesting things, does n''t she, Betty?"
31387She wanted to ask Lil Day or Annette Gaynor what happened if you cut a special examination; but suppose they should ask why she cared to know?
31387Should she go off in June and leave her name spelling failure behind her?
31387Should you really like to use it?"
31387So why do you take so much trouble about staying?"
31387So why should I know?"
31387Still, what was the use of quarreling with her about honor and fair play?
31387Suppose I should n''t succeed in changing her mind?"
31387The only question was, how much did they know?
31387Then how is one to prepare for the dreadful ordeal?
31387Then, as no one rose,"Miss Wales, wo n''t you tell us what you think?"
31387Then,"Would you care to see it?"
31387There was a mysterious postscript too:--"How long since you got so fond of Bob Winchester?"
31387There would be an awkward moment of explanation, but what of that?
31387To,"Did she tell you that she was coming back late?"
31387Was it selfish and conceited to want to be worth something to her college-- to long to do something that would give her a place among the girls?
31387Was n''t he a brick?"
31387Was n''t it all splendid?"
31387Was n''t it dear of her?
31387Was n''t it silly?
31387Was n''t that lovely?
31387Was n''t your friend going to wait?"
31387Was the boat- house straight across from the last island, or a little down- stream?
31387We began to be famous before college opened----""What?"
31387We hoped to make quite a bit on valentines----""Valentines?"
31387Well, what do you suppose?
31387Were n''t any of them freshmen?
31387Were you ever at the Westcott House for dinner?"
31387Were you going to the basket- ball game?"
31387What are you doing?"
31387What are you driving at, Jack Burgess?"
31387What are you going to do to- day?"
31387What business had T. Reed to be so cool and collected?
31387What could it all mean?
31387What did it matter?
31387What did the sophomores mean by clapping so?
31387What did this mean?
31387What did you come to college for?"
31387What did you say?"
31387What do you mean?"
31387What do you suppose he means?"
31387What do you think of that?"
31387What if Miss Ferris had forgotten about writing the note, or had meant it for what Nan called"a polite nothing"?
31387What shall I do?"
31387What shall I do?"
31387What shall we do?"
31387What should I think, please?
31387What was it?"
31387What was the name of Jack''s dormitory house?
31387What would it be like to live with her day in and day out?
31387What would the world be like without men and music?"
31387What''s the use?
31387What''s the use?"
31387When did you come?"
31387When the three parted at the head of the stairs, Miss Barnes turned back to say,"Are n''t you coming to see me?
31387Where did you get all the men''s costumes?"
31387Where is she?"
31387Which house did you choose?"
31387Which of us are you going to take to the sophomore reception?"
31387Which one?"
31387Which was straight across?
31387Who ever heard of a pink- headed bird?"
31387Who is going to the Kappa Phi dance at Winsted?"
31387Who is your chaperon?"
31387Who of you are going to the Burton House dance to- night?"
31387Who please tell me is''Bob''?"
31387Why could n''t she leave it to some one else to object to your appointing me?"
31387Why did n''t you girls stop me sooner-- call to me to go round the other way?
31387Why did n''t you git them young Winsted fellers, that jest started up, to rescue yer?
31387Why did you send Bob that valentine?
31387Why do n''t you try it?
31387Why had she come to college?
31387Why not ask Ethel Hale?
31387Why should n''t she go to see Miss Barnes?
31387Why?"
31387Wo n''t it be fun to see how everything turns out?"
31387Wo n''t you come and see us?"
31387Wo n''t you show that you forgive me by coming down to college under my umbrella?"
31387Would Miss Wales pass her examination?
31387Would it be quiet in the pool by the mill?
31387Would she learn her lessons?
31387Would she say anything?
31387Would you?"
31387Would-- won''t you come out with us?"
31387You are Miss Watson?
31387You could n''t reconcile it with your tender conscience to say a good word for me, I suppose?"
31387You remember Helen Chase Adams?"
31387You see-- I wonder if she told you about our trip to New York?"
31387You were n''t thinking of going alone, were you?"
31387You''re a freshman, I judge?"
31387You''re sure you''re not afraid?"
31387did I hurt you?"
31387paper?"
6432''Could you do it just once more? 6432 ''The Quiver''?"
6432About what?
6432Alone?
6432Am I invited?
6432And I may really come with you? 6432 And Mary Brooks''s?"
6432And Miss Watson will be there?
6432And after midyears what? 6432 And he''s sent you some now?"
6432And how did you learn so many languages?
6432And is n''t it fun to be coming back as sophomores?
6432And then?
6432And what about the Hilton House dance? 6432 And what do you do?"
6432And what do you think about the Lady Eleanor''s latest escapade?
6432And what do you think?
6432And who are your friends this year?
6432And you really had a good time?
6432And you think that would be fair to the one who ought to have had the medal?
6432And you''re an upper- class girl, are n''t you?
6432Are n''t they pretty?
6432Are n''t you a sweet little innocent, Bob Parker?
6432Are n''t you nearly through with that book?
6432Are n''t you tired, Eleanor?
6432Are they?
6432Are you Mr. Richard Blake?
6432Are you going home, Eleanor?
6432Are you going to wear that dress to the station to meet them?
6432Are you really going, Eleanor?
6432Are you settled, Eleanor?
6432Because the senior that is such a friend of Eleanor Watson''s said you were that, and that''s what you wanted to be, is n''t it? 6432 Because,"Betty hesitated,"because if they take their course,--suppose, Madeline, that somebody else knows and wants to tell?
6432Bess,she said, pouting,"did you run me in because of that footless little story?
6432Betty Wales,she said, with mock severity, but with an undertone of very real compunction in her voice,"do you think I''d do that?
6432Betty Wales,she said,"do you know what you interrupted just now?
6432Betty,she said at last, an uncertain little smile fluttering about her mouth,"shall you be glad when you''ve got me through college?"
6432Bohemia?
6432But Miss Egerton, was n''t there something queer about that story of Eleanor''s-- the one that got her in? 6432 But do n''t they say that Miss Raymond is pretty apt to like everything a girl does, after she''s once become interested?
6432But how about Shakespeare''s plays? 6432 But how can we?"
6432But to return to the story, do you think that Miss Watson was so very much to blame for copying it?
6432But what am I to write?
6432But what are the B''s doing over here?
6432But what is it?
6432But you still like college, do n''t you, Betty?
6432But-- I mean-- you have n''t told any one?
6432C''n I carry your bag, lady?
6432Ca n''t they see, Jean, that a girl has got to have a big, splendid reason for doing a thing like that?
6432Ca n''t you find the story he means?
6432Ca n''t you see that appealing to Eleanor Watson would n''t do at all? 6432 Can you come to the sanctum right after lunch?"
6432Can-- may I see him, please?
6432Come over for a minute, ca n''t you, Eleanor?
6432Could I, like this?
6432Could n''t you learn your part this evening? 6432 Dick, whom are you writing for now?"
6432Did Miss Ferris hear it too?
6432Did it take out the curl?
6432Did n''t I tell you why we chose you?
6432Did n''t he say the January number?
6432Did n''t she?
6432Did n''t you know that Beatrice Egerton is rushing her? 6432 Did n''t you know that it''s less than a week to midyears?"
6432Did she tell you about her story?
6432Did the chairman send you after me?
6432Did you get Polly''s note? 6432 Did you give it to her?"
6432Did you have a lovely summer?
6432Did you know that it was a better story than the one in''The Quiver''?
6432Did you know you''re a prominent sophomore, Betty?
6432Did you tell her?
6432Did you?
6432Do n''t you hate to struggle along when you''re not ready to go?
6432Do n''t you know any other languages?
6432Do n''t you like college, Roberta?
6432Do n''t you like vaudeville shows better?
6432Do n''t you remember her theme?
6432Do n''t you see that the great fault with the life here is that we think too little about living and too much about getting? 6432 Do n''t you suppose she wishes she was n''t?"
6432Do n''t you wanter hold my dollie?
6432Do they always do it that way?
6432Do you belong to it?
6432Do you dance?
6432Do you know any actors or actresses?
6432Do you really think so?
6432Do you remember that game, Helen? 6432 Do you see any use in ambition?"
6432Do you suppose we''ve left anything for next year?
6432Do you think that Nan and I would be so inconsiderate as to come down here and break up the regular routine of your college work?
6432Do you?
6432Does any one else know?
6432Does being an all- around girl count?
6432Does she know, too?
6432Does your head ache now?
6432Girls, do you realize what''s happening to- night?
6432Girls, who of us here do you think will make Dramatic Club in the first two elections?
6432Give what to whom?
6432Go in where, Rachel?
6432Got what?
6432Has the magazine come?
6432Has your last year''s crowd broken up?
6432Have n''t the office- boy and the stenographer got out yet?
6432Have they moved away from the Westcott?
6432Have we anything on for to- night?
6432Have you both tickets for Mr. Blake''s lecture?
6432Have you done your theme, Eleanor?
6432Have you had a good time?
6432Have you heard the latest news?
6432Have you read over all this?
6432He painted because he could n''t help it,--because he meant to make the most of himself,--and a medal more or less-- what''s that to him?
6432Helen Chase Adams, have n''t you noticed that society elections are n''t announced till the next Monday morning? 6432 Helen, were you ever in New York in a blizzard?"
6432Helen, you know they never do take a person unless she amounts to something, now do they? 6432 Helen,"said Betty, a spoonful of hot coffee held aloft in one hand, consternation hiding her dimples,"what in the world shall I do?
6432Helen,she said at last,"would you mind awfully if I asked you to put in some pins for me?
6432Here all girls are really created free and equal, are n''t they, Miss King?
6432How about Roberta?
6432How about the regular routine of Dorothy King''s work?
6432How can a spread be exciting?
6432How did you happen to think of having one?
6432How did you know I''d seen him?
6432How do they sound?
6432How do you happen to be here, Bess?
6432How long do you suppose they''ll stay?
6432How should I know?
6432How''d you ever think of it?
6432How''d you happen to change your mind?
6432How?
6432I am,he said,"but pray how did you arrive at your conclusion-- so late?"
6432I do n''t know anything about them, so how can I tell whether I care or not?
6432I say,said Bob, joining her outside the door,"why are you so unsociable?"
6432I was going to tell you once, but I never did?
6432I''m still on salad and sandwiches, but I do want that big piece of chocolate cake before Madeline Ay-- Oh, Madeline, are n''t you ashamed? 6432 I?
6432I?
6432If there are any inside facts, as you call them, do n''t you think Eleanor is the one to tell you?
6432Is Mr. Richard Blake in?
6432Is it possible that the fame of my to- night''s lecture has n''t reached you, Madeline?
6432Is it so very important as all this?
6432Is it?
6432Is n''t it beautiful?
6432Is n''t it great to be back?
6432Is n''t it nice of her?
6432Is n''t it perfectly splendid about Eleanor and Emily?
6432Is n''t it rather long?
6432Is n''t it?
6432Is n''t she a wonder?
6432Is n''t she going to stop here on her way west?
6432Is n''t she just splendid?
6432Is n''t she pretty?
6432Is n''t the Chapin house crowd scattered this year?
6432Is n''t there some other way to get up town?
6432Is she so clever, Betty?
6432Is that the way they do in Bohemia?
6432It does n''t seem possible, does it? 6432 It is funny, is n''t it?"
6432It just struck eight, did n''t it? 6432 It would n''t make a pretty story, do you think?"
6432It''s a good deal of responsibility, is n''t it?
6432It''s too bad that Eleanor Watson felt she ought to give up Dramatic Club, is n''t it?
6432Jean, do you mean that Eleanor-- has resigned-- from Dramatic Club?
6432Knew what, Madeline?
6432Know? 6432 Life is just full of things to decide, is n''t it, Helen?
6432Madeline--Betty''s voice thrilled with earnestness--"did you ever think you ought to tell?"
6432Madeline,demanded Betty in amazement,"how do you guess things?"
6432May I come in and talk to you?
6432May I come in, Betty?
6432May I come in, Miss Watson?
6432May I walk on with you?
6432Miss Ferris, if the man should return the stone, do you think he ought to confess to having stolen it?
6432Miss Wales,she said an hour later, when her path from class to class crossed with Betty''s,"where is Eleanor?
6432Miss Watson is a very clever girl, is n''t she?
6432My dear, how should I know? 6432 No,"she said,"tell me,--quick before Helen comes,--how did you know?"
6432No? 6432 No?"
6432Not even to the rest of the''Argus''board?
6432Now Mrs. Alison, are n''t you proud of your holy terror?
6432Now are n''t you glad Miss Raymond got up early that morning?
6432Now what does Betty Wales really know about it either?
6432Now which way shall we go?
6432Now why do you say that? 6432 Now, how will you like that-- Dig Watson?"
6432Of course Eleanor does n''t know that you''ve found out?
6432Of course,agreed Betty,"but you were n''t going my way, were you?"
6432Oh, Helen, why did n''t you tell me?
6432Oh, and is it about a man and a girl? 6432 On the paper with the rest, is n''t it?"
6432Only-- when did she tell you that, Betty?
6432Or anything about his magazine?
6432Or are you too busy?
6432Perhaps even the way I do?
6432Ran away?
6432Really?
6432She actually had the nerve to write-- to hand one in?
6432Suppose she does n''t go?
6432Tell us how to go to work to get into those societies, ca n''t you?
6432That''s our prize song all right, and who do you think wrote it?
6432Then how did Miss Watson happen to do such a thing?
6432Then why did you begin on your dress?
6432Then why do n''t you begin?
6432Then--Miss Ferris hesitated--"may I come too, or do n''t you want me?"
6432There''s nothing quite like the woods in spring, is there? 6432 They''re fortunes, are n''t they?
6432Those snippy freshmen?
6432Till Christy gets back?
6432To hear the animals roar, you would n''t think they''d been eating steadily for an hour, would you, Nita?
6432Was it a hair- raiser?
6432Was it going to have a court train all the way around?
6432Was she?
6432We ca n''t have it? 6432 Well then, Dorothy, why not write to him?"
6432Well, did we say anything about him in the December number?
6432Well, how about the moral tone?
6432Well, is n''t it better to try to get foolish things than just to sit around and do nothing?
6432Well, where are they going to sleep?
6432Well, you know now, do n''t you?
6432Well,said Dorothy, folding the letter carefully and putting it back in its envelope,"what do you make of that, Bess?"
6432Well?
6432Were n''t we green little freshmen though, at this time last fall?
6432Were they to- night?
6432What about it?
6432What am I running into? 6432 What are you doing up on the campus?"
6432What are you going to do to entertain him?
6432What did he say when she told him?
6432What in the world are you doing?
6432What is it?
6432What is the Clio Club kind? 6432 What story?"
6432What were you doing, anyway?
6432What''s happening to- night, Nita?
6432What''s he going to do, Betty?
6432What''s the joke?
6432What''s the news, Helen?
6432What''s the odds, anyhow?
6432What''s your hurry?
6432What, may I ask, is the Dramatic Club?
6432What?
6432Where do you live?
6432Where''s Eleanor?
6432Where''s Helen?
6432Which class are you?
6432Who do you think was taken in to- night?
6432Who is Nettie Dwight?
6432Who is it that you''re going to take to- night?
6432Who is it?
6432Who wrote it? 6432 Who?"
6432Who?
6432Whose are these?
6432Why are n''t you out being a little girl with the rest of them?
6432Why did n''t you take it to her, Laurie?
6432Why did n''t you tell me that you''d rather room alone?
6432Why did n''t you tell us that you knew Mr. Blake, Betty?
6432Why do n''t you take freshman gym too? 6432 Why not?"
6432Why not?
6432Why should I be coming?
6432Why should n''t I be?
6432Why? 6432 Why?"
6432Will one of you lend me a notebook?
6432Will you take a few notes, please?
6432Will you two stay while I write it?
6432Wo n''t it be fun to hear her tell about it?
6432Wo n''t morning do?
6432Wo n''t you have a seat?
6432Wo n''t you let me go in with you? 6432 Would n''t she be more likely to go into the Clio Club next week?"
6432Would n''t you better turn on the lights for a moment, daughter?
6432Would you like-- shan''t we go down and dance?
6432Would you mind not staying now, Betty?
6432Written lesson?
6432Yes, have you seen it? 6432 Yes, is n''t it?"
6432You absurd little Puritan,she said,"is that what you''re bothering your head about?
6432You do n''t like her one bit, do you, Ethel? 6432 You do n''t mean that she''s taken you in with that, Rachel?
6432You do n''t think it was a coincidence? 6432 You have n''t forgotten about our talk the day of the game, have you, Helen?"
6432You knew from that wonderful calendar pad, did n''t you?
6432You mean you think she did it?
6432You mean,said Betty, in amazement,"that you''re going to give up your corner- room with the three windows and the lovely burlap hangings?"
6432You three here,went on Katherine, intent on her census,"and you''re at the Hilton, are n''t you, Eleanor?"
6432You were n''t in earnest about my having run off and left you so much?
6432You''d ruther roll hoops, had n''t you?
6432You''ll be awfully glad to see your brother, wo n''t you?
6432You''re quite sure we could n''t find it between us?
6432You''re very fond of Eleanor, are n''t you?
6432You''ve been at it since three o''clock, have n''t you? 6432 You''ve got his answer?"
6432''And you, Miss Watson,''he said,''what do you think?
6432''The Quiver''is n''t a college magazine, is it, Frances?
6432After all, what did it matter who knew?
6432Afterward Miss Ferris made coffee for us, and what do you suppose he did?
6432And am I also mistaken in supposing that you have brought me a story for''The Quiver''?"
6432And besides, Betty Wales has come to see me on a very particular errand, have n''t you, Betty, dear?"
6432And do you see as much of her as ever, or has she dropped her old friends now that she has so many new ones?"
6432And how is your protege, Miss Watson, getting on nowadays?"
6432And how should we know whether or not she told the truth?"
6432And now,"added Betty yawning,"as we were up till two last night, I think we''d better go to bed, do n''t you?"
6432And what do you think about Eleanor Watson?"
6432And what is this about''offering the proper explanation''?
6432And why are n''t you at the gym.?"
6432And yet-- if Eleanor had really been influenced by what she had tried to do for Helen, would n''t it be mean to back out now?
6432Are n''t our new curtains lovely?"
6432Are n''t you a Harding girl?"
6432Are n''t you going to dress?
6432Are people supposed to explain compliments?"
6432Are you sick, Betty?"
6432Are you sure you wo n''t change your mind?"
6432Blake?"
6432Blake?"
6432But if I can get a single room there, I''d rather have it, would n''t you?"
6432But in general, I mean, why will you never admit that you want a certain thing, or hope to get a certain thing?"
6432But then is n''t life a responsibility?"
6432But was his number one twenty- one, or was it three hundred forty- something, and Cousin Alice''s one twenty- one on One Hundred and Second Street?
6432But what in the world do I amount to?"
6432But what?
6432CHAPTER XIX GOOD- BYES"Oh, Betty Wales, what''s your hurry?"
6432CHAPTER XVIII TRIUMPHS AND TROUBLES"Are n''t you going to have any breakfast, Betty?"
6432Ca n''t I persuade you to change your mind?"
6432Ca n''t you see that if she is mean enough to plagiarize''The Quiver''s''story, she is probably capable of lying out of it?
6432Ca n''t you see that it explains everything?
6432Could it possibly wait till to- morrow?"
6432Could you come to the Jabberwock party Monday night, if I should decide to have it?"
6432Creep away like a thief in the night-- let them forget that she had ever been a disgrace to them and to 19--?
6432Did he telegraph the registrar again this year, Betty?"
6432Did n''t I tell you last year that every Harding girl has to find out her one talent before she can amount to anything?
6432Did n''t she consult you about it?"
6432Did n''t you have it waved?"
6432Did n''t you hear Professor White giving it out for to- morrow?
6432Did n''t you know she''d been in Ireland all summer?"
6432Did the girls tell you?"
6432Did you ever see such duds as the pickle heiress wears?
6432Did you give me fifty cents or a quarter?
6432Did you have a good time too?"
6432Did you really think I''d take Miss Ayres and let you take Miss Carlson?
6432Did you say there were thirty girls in this house?
6432Do I dare to cut it out?"
6432Do n''t you really care whom I ask?"
6432Do n''t you remember how we used to count on her for all our little reunions?
6432Do n''t you see that an open disgrace would n''t mean any more punishment?
6432Do n''t you think so?"
6432Do n''t you think, Eleanor, that you''re getting a little quixotic in your old age?"
6432Do n''t you, Frances?"
6432Do you know Madeline Ayres?"
6432Do you know her at all?"
6432Do you mean you want me to take Miss Ayres too?
6432Do you mind my telling you?"
6432Do you see your way out, Miss Watson?"
6432Do you suppose I shall ever learn to think up arguments for myself?"
6432Do you suppose anybody will give a dinner for you to- night?"
6432Do you suppose mademoiselle will ever believe me?"
6432Do you think I ought to telegraph?"
6432Do you think he''ll do it?"
6432Does n''t it make you wish you could send out fresh shoots and blossoms yourself, and help make the world glad?"
6432Does she look or act like the sort of person that she has shown herself to be?"
6432Eleanor''s pride revolted against such a course, and yet what else was there to do?
6432For example, how could she plan what to say to Mr. Blake until she knew what Mr. Blake would say to her?
6432For had not Eleanor come back to her, and was not the difficult decision made at last?
6432For the hundredth time Betty questioned, did Eleanor deserve the consideration that was being asked for her?
6432Has Mary come yet?"
6432Have I ever been quite so mean as you make me out?
6432Have n''t I behaved like a scholar and a gentleman?"
6432Have n''t you seen him?"
6432Have we time to take our walk, Betty?"
6432Have you any idea what time it is?"
6432Have you forgotten how we used to hunt chocolate shops together, and do the Latin Quarter at night, and teach my cousins American manners?"
6432How could she have thought it?
6432How did it get there, Laurie?"
6432How did we ever manage last fall?"
6432How do you find out so much about college?"
6432How was she to win back Dora''s confidence and change Betty''s pity to respect?
6432How would you fix it?"
6432How''s that for a nice little stunt?"
6432I do n''t suppose you care to break into that, do you?
6432I say, Betty, you do n''t suppose she''d get up and go before breakfast, do you?
6432I suppose that most of the people who come to see an editor are authors, are n''t they?"
6432I suppose,"went on Betty, when Helen did not answer,"I suppose you want to ask why I do n''t sit up to study?
6432I''d planned to study tonight but how could I hurt Mary''s feelings by not going to the hair- raising?
6432I''ll see you to- night if I can get a chance, and if not you''ll surely be round at Easter?"
6432I''m such a duffer with girls-- is it all right for me to ask you to go for a walk?"
6432I''ve asked you once already, have n''t I, Betty?"
6432If you break down, what good will it do you to have written a fine story?
6432Is it really important, Frances?
6432Is n''t Mrs. Brooks a wonderful story- teller?"
6432Is n''t it considered quite an honor?"
6432Is n''t it lovely?"
6432Is n''t she here?"
6432Is n''t that European trip of hers almost over?
6432Is n''t that killing?"
6432Is n''t the story hers?"
6432Is n''t there any chance that you might be able to by the end of next week?"
6432Is n''t there something we can have a play for?"
6432Is n''t to- day the twentieth of February?"
6432Is n''t''The Hand of Fate''a modern drama, I should like to know?"
6432Is she sorry to have come to her senses, I wonder?"
6432Is there any one in particular that you want asked tonight?"
6432Is this a nice one?"
6432Is this fine moral feeling strong enough to stand a strain?
6432Is your theme a story?"
6432It could n''t be on the list of exchanges?"
6432It was splendid fun, but what did it matter after all who won or lost?
6432It''s going to be very hard for you to earn that stone, is n''t it?"
6432Jean, where is my basket- ball song?"
6432Just what is a sugaring- off, Dora?"
6432Miss Reese is a nice girl, but she''s a little too quiet for me, and Miss Watson-- let''s see, she was at that dance the first night, was n''t she?
6432Mr. Blake, Betty and Dorothy, Beatrice-- the whole college-- what could they prove?
6432Nice of them, was n''t it?
6432Now Miss Raymond, do n''t I look lots younger than Dottie?"
6432Now tell me frankly, Miss Wales, how would the Harding girls as a whole look at this matter?"
6432Now, are you a freshman?"
6432Now, why should that be?
6432Oh, Eleanor, will you really take her?
6432Oh, Helen Chase Adams, how did it ever happen?"
6432Oh, Mrs. Brooks,"she called, getting up and going over to the divan,"did you know that Mary had set a fashion up here?
6432Or are you still on salad and sandwiches?"
6432Ought I to interfere with that?"
6432Ought n''t you to send word if you''re not going?"
6432See here"--he reached hastily for his watch--"I was going to a tea, was n''t I?
6432See here, Betty,"she added quickly,"have you any idea why Eleanor is so touchy about that story?
6432Shall I go?"
6432Shall I make it all over marsh- mallows, Nita?"
6432Shall you come to hear me lecture, Miss Wales?"
6432She herself was partly responsible for Eleanor''s downfall; for had she not persuaded her, against her will, to give the story to the"Argus"?
6432She''s a class officer already, is n''t she?"
6432Should n''t you have thought tucks would be easier, Helen?"
6432Should n''t you think she''d be willing to give other people a little show now?"
6432Some other girl in 19-- ought to have been in the first four, but it will be something, wo n''t it?"
6432The absorbing question was, what did Mr. Blake mean to do, and how would a dinner with Eleanor in the seat opposite affect his intentions?
6432The missing half of the idea, to which Betty had not the faintest clew, was-- how could it be done?
6432The next thing to settle was whether it were right to help Eleanor to cover up her deceit?
6432The night is n''t set?
6432Then"To whom have I the honor of speaking?"
6432There''s no harm in that, is there?"
6432This one is called''The Hand of Fate''--doesn''t that sound thrilling?
6432Was it fair to girls like Helen Adams, who worked hard and got no recognition, that Eleanor should get recognition for work which was not her own?
6432Was it fair to set aside the gay, self- absorbed Eleanor of to- day in favor of the clinging, repentant Eleanor of the week before?
6432Was it right to help her cover up the ruin?
6432Was n''t it for myself that you wanted me?
6432Was n''t it lovely of her to pin it on me?"
6432Was n''t it the most exciting thing?
6432Was that east or west, and was it Cousin Alice''s address before or after she moved last?
6432We ca n''t just walk in and offer our services, can we?"
6432We have to look out for those things, do n''t we, Betty?"
6432Well, why not?
6432Were you going to try to sell it to a regular magazine?"
6432What are you doing up here yourself, Dick?"
6432What could Miss Egerton have meant?
6432What did you think we were all groaning so about, Betty?"
6432What on earth are you doing up here?"
6432What shall it be?"
6432What''s she done lately?"
6432What''s the particular cause of grievance to- day?"
6432What''s the use of bothering if she does n''t know enough to come down?"
6432What''s to- night, Nita?"
6432Where did you say she lives?"
6432Where has it been all the time?"
6432Where have you been, Bob?"
6432Which house are you in, Rachel?"
6432Which of us looks the youngest?"
6432Which should you prefer, a big room with a microscopic closet or a microscopic room with an enormous closet?"
6432Who do you suppose will go in tonight?"
6432Who had arranged it?
6432Who in the world is Richard Blake?"
6432Who indeed but Betty Wales?
6432Who''ll be the defeated candidate, in chains?"
6432Why are n''t the members the same sort too?"
6432Why are n''t you satisfied to let matters take their course?"
6432Why did n''t you tell it?"
6432Why do you take everything out at once, Betty?"
6432Why in the world had the"snob of snobs"chosen to bring her to the reception?
6432Why should Bob mind having you know that she hopes she''s going into the Dramatic Club?"
6432Why should Eleanor''s dearest and most intimate friend have said such a thing?
6432Will you?"
6432Will you?"
6432Would you be willing to risk one thoroughly dishonest student not to overthrow it?''
6432You ca n''t do the exercises any too well, can you?"
6432You do n''t know her much, do you?
6432You know I did, do n''t you, Eleanor?"
6432You''ll help me entertain them, wo n''t you, Betty?"
6432You''re going back to- day, you said?"
6432You''re going to the library, are n''t you?
6432You''re perfectly certain that she''ll be engaged?
6432You''re sure this is the night he was coming?"
6432ca n''t you go skating tomorrow?"
6432inquired Madeline,"and circuses, and nice little stunts?
4945A bomb threat?
4945A nice hard tack hammer?
4945Absolutely,replied Judith,"but you are not slighting me?"
4945Am I my chum''s keeper? 4945 And I suppose, Janie, you are blaming me for holding you back in the attic?"
4945And Jane, will you be so good as to bring a few sample apples that came in that last parcel post from Montana?
4945And THAT''S the ghost?
4945And Teddy is your brother?
4945And did you notice Shirley was blaming little Sarah for whimpering? 4945 And did you really see a ghost?"
4945And do you know what Ted called Kitten when she came down from presenting the flowers?
4945And the glass smashed?
4945And then think of the fun of actually hearing her give the famous screech as exhibit A?
4945And what happened to the five?
4945And whom do you think we saw out with a stable horse and instructor?
4945And would n''t it be wonderful, Judy, if she turned out worth while after all?
4945And you both thought this an unpardonable offense?
4945And you do n''t mind being called Bobbie?
4945Are we debarred? 4945 Are you girls sure that keyhole is sealed and the door still impregnable?"
4945Are you sure this stuff is no world''s war relic? 4945 Bad as all that?"
4945Because-- oh, I ca n''t just explain, but wo n''t you please excuse me?
4945Besides, we have n''t a thing to eat in our quarters and what''s a good yarn without grub? 4945 But I have n''t decided to go?"
4945But I would much prefer a chuckle, would n''t you Ted?
4945But Ted and the dance?
4945But didn''t-- little Sarah try to help you?
4945But do n''t you like my Ray?
4945But girls,spoke Dozia,"did you notice the little fat fireman who held that big hose nozzle?
4945But he would have to introduce us to his boy friends?
4945But how could a girl coming in on scholarship have money to squander?
4945But how could she ever get two hundred dollars for brother Ted?
4945But how could she get up there, Dozia, when we know positively she was not on the campus the night of the big alarm?
4945But how did she get the chance to go up in Lenox attic?
4945But if we did come back and the girls knew it? 4945 But is n''t he very nice?"
4945But is n''t it dreadful she has such influence over that rebel freshman?
4945But just suppose Jane or Judy should drop in on us this afternoon and see the things packed up?
4945But she said she was not related to Bobbie?
4945But the rest of us?
4945But what about all our things? 4945 But what about this last episode?"
4945But what happened? 4945 But what have they to do with the fighting messengers?"
4945But what is this all about?
4945But what puzzles me is how that girl ever won the scholarship?
4945But what was it all about?
4945But what would you shoot in daylight?
4945But why did old Sour Sandy lay hands on you?
4945But why does she tell the girls such horribly weird stories?
4945But why should they want to go now?
4945But you did n''t have the box?
4945But you do n''t want to?
4945But, Jane, it may be some dangerous prowler--"How could he get in here? 4945 Can we carry her?
4945Can we go up to your room for a few minutes?
4945Can you imagine college running in her family?
4945Can you imagine us going, and bound for such a good time?
4945Capable at math?
4945Carry us around?
4945Could n''t I kiss a few of the girls for you so as to save time later?
4945Could we go to the Town Hall and find out what happens? 4945 Cute little rompers, are n''t they?"
4945Dear me, must we really leave?
4945Did n''t you-- couldn''t you ask them outright Janie? 4945 Did you ever see anything prettier?"
4945Did you hear that scream?
4945Did you meet any little fairy in your walk? 4945 Did you really want to be arrested?"
4945Disappointed?
4945Do I honestly look-- well?
4945Do I know it? 4945 Do n''t I give you enough?
4945Do n''t you know, do n''t you understand what it means for a student to deliberately flunk? 4945 Do n''t you like it?
4945Do n''t you really know you are stunning?
4945Do n''t you see how simple it is? 4945 Do tell?"
4945Do they really mean to sleep in the recreation room?
4945Do you actually mean to say she has set up the College Beauty Shop at our very door?
4945Do you expect me to get in under that scrap iron works?
4945Do you know why I have never spoken of my companion on that hateful ride?
4945Do you mean to say, Jane, that the dean would ever understand and condone all this?
4945Do you realize Judith may have been taken to that horrible old station house? 4945 Do you realize we have spent one hour talking?
4945Do you really think they will attempt to run away?
4945Do you think you can kick out and leave me without warning? 4945 Does anyone know where Miss Duncan is-- Miss Shirley Duncan?"
4945Does it all seem so hideous still?
4945Does n''t it seem silly?
4945Does n''t it? 4945 Does n''t that sound like a class yell?"
4945Does your head hurt?
4945Escape?
4945Ever hear that little word before?
4945First tell us, please,insisted judicial Judith,"how do you know how it is fitted up?
4945Girls,she panted,"what ever do you think?
4945Gone? 4945 Had you finished your Lat?
4945Has anything happened to your baggage?
4945Have I kept you waiting?
4945Have you not openly solicited Wellington patronage?
4945Have you seen my dance frock? 4945 Here she is, and does n''t her gown go wonderfully with the golden ball chrysanthemums?"
4945How about you? 4945 How are we going to stop it?"
4945How dare you force your way in here?
4945How did I make out?
4945How did YOU get over here?
4945How do I look, anyhow?
4945How do you suppose Zeezie came into Sour Sandy''s clutches?
4945How much do you want for your money? 4945 How on earth did she ever make Wellington?"
4945However did he keep the lark up at the dance?
4945I have been indoors so much today,she replied,"and our lovely days are flying so, suppose we go over to the rose summer house?
4945I hope you are not doing uplift for anything like that this year?
4945I know YOU could have come here without that plan, but what could have put ME through? 4945 I know about the noises and I do believe they are really uncanny,"said Judith,"but what can we do away over at this end of the campus?"
4945I know the racket was in that wing, and see how the round tower begins here and shoots up past all that outside plumbing? 4945 I suppose it is perfectly proper for a mere freshie to do so?"
4945I suppose she considers the ghost her opponent?
4945I suppose we should hardly have read the letter--"Why not? 4945 I was so provoked-- why, Jane, what is the matter?
4945I-- wonder, Dozia, could she be in partnership with Dol?
4945If school did n''t start just now,commented Norma Travers,"I wonder what we would do?
4945In your shoe?
4945Is Miss Stearns here?
4945Is it too early to suggest science?
4945Is n''t it just wonderful to know you could n''t break away even though you tried so flagrantly?
4945Is n''t it lovely to have you all here? 4945 Is n''t it?
4945Is not that rather boisterous for indoor play?
4945Is not this a public shop?
4945Is she-- did you hurt her?
4945Is that Teddy your brother? 4945 Is that so?
4945Is this ghost a person of regular habits? 4945 It''s I-- are you up, Jane?"
4945Jane, will you help us organize a ghost raid? 4945 Jane,"called back Bobbie,"do n''t you remember how you used to question that name Shirley?
4945Janie dear, why the clouds? 4945 Just look at that?"
4945Like this? 4945 May I get a shampoo?"
4945May I speak?
4945No-- I''ve wondered?
4945Not wet it?
4945Oh, can we have it?
4945Oh, did she eat you up? 4945 Oh, did you?"
4945Oh, what was it?
4945Oh,moaned Jane, when the two finally reached their own quarters, room 19,"was n''t that an ordeal?"
4945Sally?
4945Sandy, what do you mean by disturbin''and loiterin''?
4945Say, girls, tell me,implored the youth, letting his critical eye scale the crowd of pretty girls,"what''s this your name is?
4945She has been declared insane?
4945She might, but would n''t that mean an outlay?
4945She ran first after a boy, then after a girl, and I seen the package go through the air----"Flyin''? 4945 She told me she lost a lot-- by the arrest of Madam Z, and do you know, Bobbie, that woman was a real lunatic?"
4945She whose pater is a benefactor of Wellington?
4945Shirley?
4945Sold it?
4945Suppose we should get walled up in here, just two babes in the tower?
4945That your father should give this college a scholarship each year is a noble thing, and how can you tell who may win it? 4945 That''s your college, darter, ai n''t it?"
4945Then what''s the charge and who makes it?
4945They wo n''t, eh?
4945This looks a little like a joke but who is the joker? 4945 Tonight at Lenox, what for?"
4945Truants,said Jane,"where have you been?
4945Volunteers?
4945Was it the tack hammer or the spindle chair or the fat girl? 4945 Was n''t it wonderful?"
4945Was n''t she furious? 4945 We have got to, but now, how can we do it?"
4945We may be breaking the spell by raiding the secret chamber, but suppose the old spook breaks out in a new spot?
4945Were you afraid of him?
4945What a night we have had? 4945 What a pity they made the hearing private?"
4945What a shame we did n''t know she was making her exit by way of the dummy?
4945What am I going to do about it?
4945What are deans for?
4945What are you two thinking of?
4945What can you do with that letter? 4945 What did it hit?"
4945What did you do with it?
4945What do you make of it?
4945What does this mean?
4945What hit you?
4945What in the world are you watching that door for?
4945What say?
4945What was it? 4945 What''s a mere skirt compared with that?"
4945What''s new?
4945What''s that, Jane Allen?
4945What''s that?
4945What''s the excitement?
4945What''s up?
4945What''s your hurry just now Bobbie? 4945 What?
4945What?
4945Whatever can that innocent little thing be doing around here?
4945Whatever has happened and where is Judith?
4945When can we make the raid?
4945When?
4945Where did you get that wonderful robe, Dozia?
4945Where have I heard the line before?
4945Where have you been and what have you been doing?
4945Where is Sally?
4945Where is it?
4945Where is it?
4945Where is she?
4945Where''s the fire?
4945Where? 4945 Who gave the alarm?"
4945Who is that running from the back driveway?
4945Who pulled that box?
4945Who would dare trust a live and workable phiz to that-- traitor?
4945Who''s the golden girl over by the punch bowl?
4945Who? 4945 Why are chains more formidable than ropes?"
4945Why ca n''t we withdraw and do as we planned, Bobbie?
4945Why could n''t she stick to the theater for rehearsing?
4945Why did n''t we try to save her from those reckless strangers? 4945 Why did the girls abandon their plans for the ghost show?"
4945Why do n''t you call me Shirley? 4945 Why do n''t you trust me?"
4945Why do n''t you try it, Bobbie? 4945 Why need she?
4945Why never again? 4945 Why not install a ghost in Madison if you are all so keen on it?
4945Why not invite both Bobbie and Sally over here and have them remain all night?
4945Why not tell some of the other girls, and get them to help us?
4945Why not? 4945 Why so-- frightened?"
4945Why?
4945Why?
4945Why?
4945Without a saddle?
4945Wo n''t Judy and Dozia just howl? 4945 Worried, and on our very first lovely day?
4945Would you expect company to do all the lugging? 4945 Yes, and you know the Rumson place?
4945Yes, does n''t it? 4945 Yes, is n''t it just dreadful?
4945Yes-- but-- how does anyone get up there?
4945You are sure Ted has his lesson all clear and that our-- masquerade will not be spoiled?
4945You call it that? 4945 You caught this here flying joo- ell- ry?"
4945You did not ask to see me just to be offensive?
4945You girls will stick around a stuffy old gym, will you? 4945 You know the conditions, Bob?
4945You rode-- that way?
4945You would never have known the fun we have had here, if you had n''t come, and is n''t it heaps better to pay now than never to have known it?
4945Your cousin?
4945Your cousin?
4945''"I thought it was a rule to stay in your own dorm when a first alarm fire gong sounded in another building?"
4945Also the affectionate"Kitten"and"Bobbie"?
4945Also they had been promised a solution of the noise mystery and was not that in itself sufficient alleviative?
4945Also who could have been sobbing in the room back of the parlors?
4945Also, who let out that wild scream we heard on that first night?"
4945And I would be a coward?"
4945And begging me for something?"
4945And could you blame the Wellingtons present for shaking hands with Chief Hadfield?
4945And did you see Miss Allen stare when you called me Bobbie?"
4945And how was that charming little thing implicated with the ghost of Lenox Hall?
4945And if you WERE a little rebel at first, does n''t that explain it?
4945And suppose I did, where would it land me?"
4945And that this super- conscious fired janitor or furnace man is operating against her?"
4945And this was what both had planned and worked for-- to leave Wellington at midyear?
4945And to bribe her with money?
4945And what a mercy you happened to be within call?
4945And what you are expected to do today?"
4945And who has n''t for the dance?"
4945And why did Sally so promptly surrender him to all other partners?
4945Any pulleys loose around this place?"
4945Are n''t they an unruly lot?"
4945Are n''t you satisfied?
4945Are you coming over with me tonight, Judy?"
4945Are you sure?"
4945As you say, yes, I did turn her loose, and do you know that now she has been sent away?
4945Been in all the sheds and corners, Ben?"
4945Bobbie, you did want to come to college, that is always a laudable ambition, and think of the thousands who fail every year?"
4945Break your necks or anything?"
4945But I suppose you know that long lanky friend of yours, they call some foolish name like Doses, hit me on the head with her hammer the other night?"
4945But are n''t you ashamed to treat juniors this way?"
4945But do tell?
4945But how about our mail?
4945But what about the others?"
4945But where is Jane Allen?
4945CHAPTER IV THRILLING NEWS Did you read your note, Dinksy?"
4945CHAPTER XV THE PICKET AND THE SPOOK Not going to bed at all, Janey?"
4945CHAPTER XX TOUCHSTONE"Have you noticed, Judy,"asked Jane,"what a miraculous improvement is manifest in our two pet freshies?
4945CHAPTER XXI CRAMMING EVENTS"Now, what can we do?
4945Ca n''t Jane attend to her own mortal baggage without incurring the wrath of the multitude?"
4945Ca n''t you see his stenographer kicking his shapely shins as he dictates?
4945Ca n''t you see how much Ted Barrett looks like Sally Howland?"
4945Can I help you?"
4945Can you comprehend the audacity?"
4945Can you fancy that accusation on this poor head?"
4945Can you guess who they may be?"
4945Can you imagine ghost stories having that effect in this staid, solid, absolutely reliable old college?"
4945Can you make her apologize?"
4945College boys adore jokes, do n''t they?"
4945Coming to the gym?"
4945Could I not allow her to live a little when she paid me?
4945Could n''t I help you?"
4945Did n''t I ride horseback with her?
4945Did n''t you see we had company?"
4945Did you catch him?
4945Did you ever see so many new girls?
4945Did you ever yet meet a case in which the written word played no part?
4945Did you hear Miss Roberts, the real Noah Webster of Wellington, rave about her thesis?"
4945Did you manage to deliver the box safely?"
4945Did you see that beauty with the shiny gold hair?
4945Do I resemble a movie queen?
4945Do n''t mind do you?"
4945Do n''t mind if I take a rest, do you?
4945Do n''t they chime beautifully?"
4945Do n''t you see how magically it has all turned out?"
4945Do n''t you want to jump on Firefly and ride him over to the stable?"
4945Do n''t you wonder how it was we used to love that unladylike game?"
4945Do we have outposts, and pickets, and- trench companies?
4945Do you expect to get off scot- free if you smash anything with that golf stick?
4945Do you feel a little better?"
4945Do you imagine Miss Gifford has materialized some domestic enemy in her change of staff?
4945Do you know that Dol Vin is actually sending bills to my innocent dad for her entertainment of the country folks?
4945Do you know where you are, Judy Stearns?
4945Do you like to get in the open path of tack hammers?"
4945Do you suppose Ethics will be easier?
4945Do you want to claim the Grand Central Station?"
4945Does he take exercise every night?"
4945Does our plumber plumb there?"
4945Even Dol Vin would succumb to such an onslaught of orders, but--"Suppose she charges us some dreadful price-- like five dollars each?"
4945Girlie,"dragging Jane down into a chair,"have you noticed that ugly, fat, common country girl, with the wire hair and gimlet eyes?
4945Had it wings or was it a toy balloon?"
4945Has some college burned down since last year?"
4945Have I told you about him, Jane darling?"
4945Have you analyzed that?"
4945Have you ever seen a mouse run from a cat and a dog after the cat and a boy after the dog?
4945Have you heard from home lately, Dinks?"
4945Have you seen a ghost anywhere?"
4945Have you seen who Dozia is lugging around?
4945Honestly, did you ever see so ordinary a girl in Wellington?"
4945How about that for stunt night with the sophs?"
4945How are you getting on with your cramming?
4945How can you dare say to me that such a trick was ever countenanced by us?"
4945How can you tell what''s in that other place?"
4945How could we possibly have guessed that the very girl and her group we expected to antagonize should be our deliverers?"
4945How did it happen?"
4945How did this girl win the scholarship?
4945How differently things have turned out from our expectations?
4945How on earth do you expect to obtain permission to stay at Lenox without giving the whole thing away?"
4945How strange I never heard anyone mention her talent?"
4945However are we going to get out of this?"
4945However do you children expect to maintain the honor of Wellington if you do not keep fit?
4945I have n''t any brother, you know, Jane dear, but it always sounds better to blame one''s slang on him, do n''t you think?"
4945I heard there was no more hazing allowed in colleges?"
4945I just wonder how it will strike our rebel Shirley?"
4945I wonder if one of us should run up to Madison?"
4945Is n''t a fire and a volunteer fireman''s comedy enough?"
4945Is n''t everything going lovely?"
4945Is n''t it awful to have to work off a condition?
4945Is n''t she tragically pretty?"
4945Is n''t that a swell enough name?"
4945Is the day bed translated?"
4945It said plainly:"Now is n''t he lovely?
4945It''s fitted up----""Were-- you in?"
4945Jane Allen, do you realize this is a cold, bleak, dreary night, and you are tempting ghosts to parade in--bathing suits or nighties?"
4945Jane did not relish yielding; she had passed that childish stage, when"to give in"seemed noble; it was now a question of expediency, which was best?
4945Jane must have dozed when she suddenly became conscious of something-- Was it a noise?
4945Jane was waiting, listening for what?
4945Jane, may I have the honor of your company?"
4945Jane, tell me, is she the scholarship?"
4945Jane, what has happened?
4945Judith Stearns knew a good thing when it came her way, and what could be better than this?
4945Judith, quick to interpret Jane''s moods, knew the excuse covered a more serious consideration and stepped back to ask"why?"
4945Judy, where is Jane?"
4945Know this line?
4945May I act as your honorable secretary?"
4945May I have the next?"
4945May I see the paper, Jane?
4945May I use your telephone?"
4945Not even to try?"
4945Now what are you going to do about it?"
4945Now what can a girl do in a case like that?"
4945Now where is Judith?"
4945Now, girls, are you fully satisfied the ghost is annihilated?"
4945Now, how do you suppose one reaches the other side?"
4945Now, where does she get it, and after that poor boy''s letter?"
4945Oh, how good it all seems here today?
4945Or did she carry the dress on a broomstick?
4945Or put horns on you?
4945Or turn you into a goat?"
4945Or would a bathrobe drill answer as well?"
4945Our change of names?"
4945Our hats and coats?"
4945Perhaps it would have been simpler to have avoided the final reckoning?
4945Sallylun, why do n''t you try to finish?
4945See how steadily the girls carry you?"
4945See the trail of ashes over there?"
4945See those footprints, Jane?"
4945She dropped Jane''s arm and all but gasped:"When did you see me there?"
4945She has friends who are not in the freshman ranks?
4945Should we have risked our precious lives up in that attic and then turned down this important clue?
4945Since when had plain Dol Vin become so foreign?
4945Some one who has promised immunity?
4945Spot any stars?"
4945Suppose she did meet some of the girls and attempt to tell what she knew of Sally''s secret?
4945Suppose we have to go on picket duty?"
4945Suppose"( Jane had in mind the tearful face of little Sally)"you give us one more night before you turn the alarm in to Miss Rutledge?
4945That ivory blonde, the timid one with a most atrocious name, Sarah Something, I just love her, do n''t you?"
4945That old stone mansion right in the heart of the country folks settlement?"
4945That was what knocked friend Virgil, or was it Cicero?
4945The one who stood under the hemlock alone during the cheering?
4945Then I tripped along--""Not scared or anything?"
4945Then Sally''s attempt to forestall the midnight noises by taking the shunned room at the very foot of the dreaded attic stairs-- what could that mean?
4945Then"Shirley?"
4945There, that sounds as if I have learned a little English, does n''t it?
4945These details were visible from the exterior, and what, oh, what might the interior look like to correspond?
4945Things flew--""Hair brushes and sponges?"
4945Think of hearing all the reports read and not being able to take up our exams?"
4945Too old and cranky or something like that?"
4945Trying to duck me?"
4945Was it any wonder ghosts had been crowded out of the day''s or night''s programme?
4945Was n''t he from Montana and did n''t his mistress train him to go as she chose without foolish restrictions?
4945Was n''t it lucky I had called in my head and that she did n''t leave me with one side done and one side undone?
4945Was n''t she all nicely arrested and tried at a regular police court?
4945Was not this expelled pupil actually trespassing even to be upon Wellington grounds?
4945We heard it?
4945What about the ghost?
4945What are you talking about?"
4945What did little Sally Howland mean about taking a room at the attic stairs?
4945What do you propose to do, and when are you going to do it?
4945What do you suppose WILL happen at mid- year?"
4945What do you think Miss Rutledge will say?"
4945What do you think of the crowd this year?
4945What does all this mean?"
4945What if Ted Guthrie, the fat, funny, facetious Ted, did slide down a hill and take most of the hill with her?
4945What is there more delightfully elastic than the mind and the heart of the young college girl?
4945What music can compete with the simple inspiration of hand clapping?
4945What shall we do?"
4945What time is it, anyhow?"
4945What time is it?"
4945What was it all about?"
4945What was the secret spring of her prodigious income?
4945What was the threat or power Shirley held over little Sally?
4945What''s up?
4945What''s up?
4945Where are you going?"
4945Where did I put that piece of paper?"
4945Where does the big noise seem to come from?"
4945Where is Jane?
4945Where is it?"
4945Where is it?"
4945Where might we find the bed clothes storeroom?"
4945Where was Judith Stearns and what was the meaning of Dolorez Vincez''sinister statement, about running down poor messenger boys?
4945Where''s the Logic?
4945Where''s the crowd?
4945Which room might be one in proximity?
4945Who can they be?
4945Who got up in that place and rattled these nightly?
4945Who is he and who saw him?"
4945Who knows?"
4945Who was this boy''s relation?
4945Who''s this guy Bed, I heard you mention?
4945Who''s to set up the billet?"
4945Why did n''t I know four months ago just a few of the precious things I see so vividly now?"
4945Why did n''t we beg her to give up the company of Dolorez Vincez?"
4945Why do you suppose they have sneaked off like that?"
4945Why has Shirley become Bobbie?"
4945Why have we never discovered it before?"
4945Why not go inside for a shampoo?
4945Why not?"
4945Why should Jane deceive them?
4945Why?
4945Will you enter?"
4945Will you just step in here, dear?"
4945Wo n''t she look stunning on a bronco, Sally?"
4945Wonder if we will notice any painfully deserted blondes in her wake?"
4945Would anyone stand by and listen?
4945Write your letter, or shall I do it?
4945You are not insinuating anyone here might be superstitious?
4945You did not try to hit her with the hammer I hope?"
4945You know her so well, can you suggest a way?"
4945You know who he thinks bears that relationship to me, of course?"
4945You really look worried,""Not really?"
4945You seem tragically jolly?"
4945You"( to Sally)"are Shirley Duncan, and you"( to Bobbie)"are Sally Rowland?"
4945Your dad would care?
4945charged Jane, noting her sudden preoccupating,"are you seeing things?"
4945more shoulder shrugging and a futurist pose of the black satin"clinger,""What else, then, might the Lady Stearns be doing at my place?"
4945or if Nettie Brocton climbing a tree for dogwood berries attempted to fly by the merest accident?
4945said Jane lightly, following the hushed tone of voice,"but where did you think the fire was?"
4945whispered Dozia from her side of the big double bed,"what do you think Judy will say to all this?"
