20078Why?
20078Yes-- what you liked best?
20078Yes; but what do you call a lady?

20078Yessir; and I said,''Why is it impossible?'' 20078 Yessir; but ca n''t you ring for me again?"
20078You do n''t kiss anybody but me?
20078You do n''t suppose if I could do you a turn I''d hesitate for fear of excommunication? 20078 You know it already?"
20078_ Do_ you understand?
20078''Arten thee goin''to?''
20078A piano?"
20078And can any one hear the word heiress without immediately thinking of matrimony?
20078And did you board with her all the time?"
20078And if he could stoop to her, why should he not stoop to popular work, to devilling, to anything that would rid him of these sordid cares?
20078And pray what used you to say?"
20078And the Herr Professor-- is he still a bachelor?"
20078And what of the other lodgers?
20078And what would Peter say, and my brother( not that I care what_ he_ says), and my acquaintances?"
20078And why did n''t you want to see me again?"
20078And would n''t you rather look grand for me than for anybody else?"
20078And yet, was he dreaming?
20078And, after all, sir, it''s an hour, and an hour is sixty minutes, ai n''t it, sir?"
20078Are n''t you the luckiest girl in the world?"
20078Beethoven is worth two of me, are n''t you, Beethoven?"
20078Behind the patriotic, the national note:''How can a people be civilised that eats jam with its meat?''
20078But are you quite sure?"
20078But what does my governor do?
20078Ca n''t I persuade you to write rot?
20078Do n''t I know too well that''s what keeps you back?
20078Do n''t you understand?"
20078Do you know how long it will be before I make two million dollars, Mary Ann?"
20078Do you never have a stout person in the house, I wonder?"
20078Do you understand how rich you are?"
20078Do you understand?"
20078Does it never strike you that if I were to marry you, now, it would be only for your two and a half million dollars?"
20078Does she always carry on like this?"
20078Dry your eyes now, will you?"
20078Elegant harmonies are all very well, but who''s to play them?"
20078For was Mary Ann as innocent as she looked?
20078He could endure the suspense no longer; he threw open his door and said,"Is there anything the matter?"
20078He said:"By the way, Susan, tell your mistress-- or is it your mother?"
20078He''s coming to take you away on Monday, he is, and how will you look in that dirty print?
20078How can a people be civilised that eats jam with its meat?"
20078How could I take her about as my wife?
20078How could she receive my friends?
20078How does that fact affect this particular sabot?"
20078How had it all come about?
20078How much longer are we to lie here, dusty in death?
20078How on earth did we get on this tack?"
20078How should she know that his indifference was often a victory over himself, as his amativeness was a defeat?
20078How should you?
20078How was it possible a girl of that class should escape the sordid attentions of street swains?
20078I heard the deeper, the oligarchic accent:''How can a people be enfranchised that eats meat with its fingers?''
20078I suppose I could n''t go on with the lessons after you leave here?"
20078I suppose you have mastered them all, eh?"
20078I suppose you kept bees?"
20078If I buy you a nice pair of gloves, will you promise to put them on every time I ring for you?"
20078Is n''t Beethoven jealous?
20078It only shows''ow right I was to send for my Rosie, though quite the lady, and where will you find a nattier nursemaid in all Bayswater?"
20078Lancelot put his hand on her shoulder, and turned her face towards him, and said in an imperious whisper:"Now then, what''s up?
20078Lancelot?"
20078Let me see, what did Peter say?
20078Mary Ann what?"
20078Nay, why should he teach Rosie at all?
20078One night I dreamt the missus was boxin''my yers and askin''me if I was deaf and I said to''er----""Ca n''t you say''her''?"
20078Or-- a thought still more dizzying-- had he been dreaming?
20078Phaugh?
20078Really?"
20078Remember now for the future, will you?"
20078She interrupted him quietly,"Why more now than before?"
20078That would n''t annoy you, sir, would it?
20078That''s candid, is n''t it?"
20078Then by what name must I ask for you next time?
20078Then to brighten her up again he asked cheerily,"And what else did you do on the farm?"
20078Was he really awake?
20078Was it because you scribbled inaccurate sonatas and I had myself a talent for knocking tunes off the piano?
20078Was it possible he could have made such an ass of himself?
20078Was n''t I silly?"
20078Was not this shamefaced pawning as vulgar, as wounding to the artist''s soul, as the turning out of tawdry melodies?
20078Well, and how did you leave Frau Sauer- Kraut?"
20078Well, but how could you do that?"
20078What are you crying about?"
20078What do you say?"
20078What had become of her passive personality?
20078What had happened?
20078What harm shall I do them?"
20078What must I say?"
20078What was I talking about?"
20078What will she do with all her riches?
20078What''s the matter?"
20078Where''s Mary Ann?"
20078Who was he, to talk of dying for art?
20078Who would hever a- believed it?"
20078Why d''ye think I ever took to you as a boy at school?
20078Why did he give her more than the pair that could always be kept hidden in her pocket?
20078Why did n''t you speak?
20078Why do n''t you want to know?"
20078Why not?"
20078Why should I bother now?"
20078Why should I put out a hand to stop you?"
20078Why should he give her up?
20078Why should he not?
20078Why should he teach only Rosie?
20078Why wo n''t you?
20078Why, what have you to be ashamed of?
20078Wonder if it''ll have that effect on me?
20078Would it not be a crime against the future to draggle your wings with sordid cares, to sink to lower aims by refusing this heaven- sent boon?"
20078Would they give you a bad name and hang you?
20078Would you-- please, sir, would you mind?"
20078Yes, here it is; wo n''t_ you_ try one?"
20078You ca n''t have been long in London then?"
20078You could devote your life to the highest art-- nay, is it not a duty you owe to the world?
20078You do n''t want everybody to talk of you as they did of your brother Tom, do you, dear?
20078You surely would n''t suspect_ me_, of all people in the world, of meaning anything personal?
20078at Rackstraw''s afore the sale closes,''and with that I shoves the suvrin into''er hand instead o''the scrubbin''brush, and what does she do?
20078away with all pretences?
20078cried Mary Ann, bursting into tears at last,"why do you talk like that?
20078do n''t you hear her going on?"
20078enough?
20078said Lancelot, a little staggered;"what did it come there for-- to buy a new pouch?"
20078said Peter suddenly;"I can almost fancy we''re back in our German garret, up the ninety stairs, ca n''t you?"
20078you called him Peter?"
3016$ 19,000 “ How do you make the gasolene and repairs as much as that? ” asked Mrs. Bell.
3016''Will you be my Chamber maid?''
3016''Will you give up a good clean well- paid business that you love-- that has big hope and power and beauty in it-- and come and keep house for me?
3016''” “ Love him?

3016And the two maids have only table service and bedrooms. ” “ Thirty- five bedrooms? ” “ Yes.
3016And while you''re talking of rights-- how about a parent''s rights?
3016And why ca n''t he think at all about the others?
3016Anyhow I''ve got used to Miss Bell now. ” “ She gets letters often? ” “ Yes-- very often-- from Topolaya where she came from.
3016Are n''t they beauties?
3016Are you doing this with any quixotic notion of helping me-- in_ my_ business?
3016Are you going to break down? ” “ No, ” said Diantha, “ I am not going to break down.
3016Are you_ sure_ about Mrs. Jessup, dear? ” “ As sure as I can be of any one till I''ve tried a long time.
3016But how about you?
3016But then she does have her disadvantages-- as you said. ” “ Does she?
3016But what''s the use?
3016But who was this approaching?
3016But you do love me a little, do n''t you? ” “ O_ yes_! ” she answered.
3016Ca n''t a woman enjoy her home, just as a man does, without running the shop?
3016Ca n''t you get_ anybody_ that will stay? ” “ I ca n''t seem to get anybody on any terms, so far.
3016Ca n''t you see?
3016Ca n''t you, Hector? ” Hector rolled large adoring eyes at her, but said nothing.
3016Can you not see it is wrong, utterly wrong, all this mad escapade of yours?
3016Diantha? ” “ No indeed! ” Mrs.
3016Do n''t you see?
3016Do you know who buys''em? ” Ross did not.
3016Do you know? ” asked Dora.
3016Do you like her as much as you thought?
3016Does it take that much time every day? ” “ Yes, indeed!
3016Free of_ you_? ” He caught her and held her and kissed her over and over.
3016Had n''t you better go and lie down now?
3016Helping me to take care of my family?
3016How about a little music, Matthew?
3016How can I get along without you? ” He tried to put his arm around her again, but she drew back.
3016How can you say you love me-- and ruin both our lives like this?
3016How did you ever dare? ” “ Why I got my courage from the girl herself.
3016How do they all stand it? ” “ Most of them stand it much better than I do, Ned.
3016How does that strike you, Mrs. Ree? ” “ Admirable! ” said Mrs. Ree.
3016How does that suit you? ” Mrs. Bell looked at her unbelievingly.
3016How long will it take you to get out of this? ” “ Get out of-- what? ” she faltered.
3016How long will it take you to get out of this? ” “ Get out of-- what? ” she faltered.
3016I ca n''t give it up! ” “ Not for me?
3016I can not live any longer without you? ” “ Of course I will, ” said Diantha.
3016I do not approve of your work-- I can not approve of it-- but will you forgive me for that and marry me?
3016I had the other thing all planned-- the girls practically engaged. ” “ Where were you thinking of going? ” asked Mrs. Weatherstone.
3016I have plans-- which will speak for themselves later. ” “ So, ” said Mr. Bell, “ Plans all made, eh?
3016I need you. ” “ Wo n''t you sit down? ” said Diantha.
3016I suppose you''ve considered your Mother in these plans? ” “ I have, ” said his daughter.
3016I wonder you have n''t charged your mother for nursing her? ” “ You notice I have n''t, ” said Diantha coldly.
3016I would wager now--_may_ I try an experiment Mrs. Porne? ” and she stood up, taking out her handkerchief.
3016Is it hot and tempting? ” Mrs. Ree was fascinated by the new heresy.
3016Is it not so? ” “ Your ladies of America have all things in your hands, ” said the Prince to Miss Cora.
3016Is it true?
3016Is it your things, ma''am? ” “ No, ” said Mrs. Weatherstone.
3016Is it-- expensive? ” Mrs. Porne smiled.
3016Is there anything so ignominious about a woman that it is disgraceful to let one help you?
3016Is there not some mistake? ” “ It''s a damn shame, ” said Matthew.
3016Is your wonderful salary worth more to you than being here with your mother-- with me?
3016My name is Ilda. ” “ Who engaged you? ” “ Mrs.
3016Neither did your Aunt Esther, but she''s still teaching. ” “ Did n''t you like any of it? ” pursued Diantha.
3016No, no-- let her run the house-- she thinks she owns it. ” “ She''s fond of you, is n''t she? ” asked Mrs. Porne.
3016Not a married woman in the house but that washerwoman,--and her husband''s a fool! ” “ And again; You do n''t see how she does it?
3016Not when I can offer you a home at last?
3016Not when I show you that there is no longer any need of your earning money? ” he said hotly.
3016Nothin you''re ashamed to mention, I hope? ” asked Mrs. Delafield.
3016O-- come from?
3016Of course one has to know how. ” “ Whenever did you find-- or did you create?--those heavenly sandwiches? ” he asked.
3016Only-- ” “ Only what, Dinah? ” “ Only he''s so tied up! ” said the girl, brushing every chip from the hearth.
3016Or a gasoline?
3016Please, sir? ” “ You must give me a kiss first! ” said he-- and since there seemed no escape and she was in haste, she submitted.
3016Ross is n''t ready to marry yet, is he? ” “ No-- nor likely to be for years.
3016Sugar or lemon?
3016Take what you''ve got ahead now? ” “ Yes; there''s plenty, ” said Diantha.
3016The house seems as big again! ” “ But the food? ” eagerly inquired Mrs. Ree.
3016Their houses on their backs-- like snails! ” “ Do n''t see why, with ten( or is it fifteen?)
3016Then Baby came and I loved him-- best?
3016Warden-- wouldn''t you like some cool drink?
3016We like our own napkins, and we did n''t use a cloth, anyway. ” “ And how about silver? ” “ We put ours away.
3016What are they? ” “ Why she''s so-- rigid.
3016What are you going to tell me, dear?
3016What did any honest person want of a wall?
3016What does matter, anyway?
3016What have you done with all that? ” “ Given it to you, Father, ” said she quietly, and handed him the third sheet of figures.
3016What you say of children no longer applies to me. ” “ And what is this mysterious business you''re goin''into-- if one may inquire?
3016What''s happened Viva? ” “ Nothing that anybody can help, ” said her friend.
3016What''s more you do n''t seem to get the woman''s. ” “ Can you see no other point of view than those? ” she asked.
3016What''s the matter?
3016What''s the other? ” “ Why that''s best of all! ” she cried triumphantly.
3016When did you come?
3016When on earth was safety for young maidens Far from mother''s love and father''s care?
3016When? ” The old lady was shaken by this inconceivable promptness.
3016Why a wall?
3016Why are men so proud?
3016Why did the bottom drop out of her courage at sight of them?
3016Why do n''t I--? ” she rose and walked slowly up and down, her hands behind her.
3016Why do n''t you? ” Diantha''s scanty baggage was all in sight.
3016Why not take a little more time? ” “ I want to do it as quickly as I can, for reasons, ” answered Diantha.
3016Why not?
3016Why should I have to give up anything? ” “ You do not have to, ” he said patiently.
3016Why should I?
3016Will it be twenty years, do you think? ” He looked relieved.
3016Wo n''t you start the victrolla? ” Matthew would n''t.
3016You can get at it now, ca n''t you-- with this other Belle to the fore? ” “ She''s not Belle, bless you-- she''s''Miss Bell.''
3016You could stand unhappiness; ca n''t you stand happiness? ” And she strove with herself; and kept on with her work.
3016You remember that guinea- pig experiment I want so to try? ” Diantha remembered and smiled sadly.
3016You will marry me? ” “ I will marry you, Ross! ” “ And when?
3016You will marry me? ” “ I will marry you, Ross! ” “ And when?
3016You would n''t grudge us that, would you? ” As a result of all this the cooked food delivery service was opened at once.
3016You''re crying! ” “ Am I? ” asked Mrs. Bell weakly; wiping her eyes in a dazed way.
3016Your mother says I may know. ” “ Why not? ” she said.
3016have you got any farther? ” Mrs. Porne flushed.
3016they say; and you get married-- and after that it''s Housework! ” “ They do n''t say,''Will you be my Cook?''
3016under my roof? ” hotly demanded Madam Weatherstone.
3016“ All these are facts, dearest. ” “ Now, Ross, will you be perfectly frank with me?
3016“ And besides, ” the girl went on “ If I waited-- and saved-- and married Ross-- what becomes of_ you,_ I''d like to know?
3016“ And nothing to show for all that splendid effort! ” “ They do n''t do a thing?
3016“ And the summer''s not a good time to start a thing like that, is it? ” Diantha meditated.
3016“ And turn out the old lady?
3016“ And when is she coming, if I may ask? ” “ She has come.
3016“ And yet--? ” said her friend.
3016“ And you wo n''t give it up to marry him? ” “ No, ” said Diantha.
3016“ And you''re meaning to leave home just to make money, are you? ” “ Why not? ” said Diantha firmly.
3016“ And you''re meaning to leave home just to make money, are you? ” “ Why not? ” said Diantha firmly.
3016“ Are n''t you a little-- spectacular? ” she suggested.
3016“ Are n''t you going to feed him? ” asked Mr. Porne, with forced patience.
3016“ Are n''t you home early, dear? ” asked Mrs.
3016“ Are there any crackers for instance?
3016“ Are you Mrs. Edgar Porne? ” she asked.
3016“ Are you coming back to me? ” he wrote.
3016“ But how about science? ” she asked him.
3016“ Dear, ” said Mr. Porne, “ might I petition to have the steak less cooked?
3016“ Did they all die? ” she asked with polite sympathy.
3016“ Did you love him so much? ” she asked softly.
3016“ Did you-- was it profitable? ” she asked.
3016“ Do n''t they usually make you teach them their trade and charge for the privilege? ” “ Yes, of course they do.
3016“ Do n''t you miss the carving, Mr. Porne? ” asked the visitor.
3016“ Do n''t you propose to tell me what this''work''is? ” “ Yes-- I will-- certainly.
3016“ Do n''t you see, child, that it ca n''t do you anything but harm?
3016“ Do n''t you see, child, that you ca n''t afford to wait?
3016“ Do n''t you understand?
3016“ Do you know what is in it? ” asked the guest.
3016“ Do you love your work better than you love me?
3016“ Do you mean that you love-- your work-- better than you love me? ” “ No!
3016“ Do you realize that you are saying no to me, Diantha? ” “ You are mistaken, dear.
3016“ Do you really imagine, Diantha, that Mrs. O''Shaughnessy or Mrs. Yon Yonson can manage a house like this as you can? ” Diantha flushed a little.
3016“ Does n''t your pet club house go well,''Miss Bell?''
3016“ Does she keep on just the same? ” asked little Mrs. Ree of Mrs. Porne in an awed whisper.
3016“ Fine, is n''t it? ” said Mr. Porne.
3016“ Free of you?
3016“ Have n''t you seen the little circular?
3016“ Have you been here long? ” she asked.
3016“ Headache? ” she asked.
3016“ Here''s Astor with three big hotels on his hands-- why should n''t I have one to play with?
3016“ How about all this new furnishing? ” Mrs. Bell said suddenly.
3016“ How about our bungalow?
3016“ How con you bear to give so much pain to everyone who loves you?
3016“ How do you cover that?
3016“ How do you like the architecture? ” asked Mrs. Porne.
3016“ How does it work?
3016“ How does the ranch go? ” he asked.
3016“ I have wanted to get rid of Mrs. Halsey for some time, but the new one I found yesterday. ” “ What''s her name? ” inquired Mathew.
3016“ I know it would be very useful. ” “ Is there any date set? ” asked Miss Bell.
3016“ I might borrow some o''Mis''Bell? ” suggested Sukey; “ dat''s nearer''n''de sto''. ” “ Yes, do, Sukey, ” her mistress agreed.
3016“ I wish you''d made a pitcherful. ” “ Why did n''t you, Do? ” her sisters demanded.
3016“ I wonder if he''ll care for it? ” she said, laying down her brush and holding the book at arm''s length to get the effect.
3016“ I''ll speak to his grandmother too! ” “ O-- would you? ” urged Diantha.
3016“ I''m not complaining, am I?
3016“ I''m very glad for you, Belle, dear-- but-- what an endless nuisance it all is-- don''t you think so? ” “ Nuisance!
3016“ If I could do it! ” “ You''ll have to do just that sort of thing when you are running your business, wo n''t you? ” her visitor went on.
3016“ If I deliberately do what I think is right-- against your wishes-- what will you do? ” “ Do? ” The laughed bitterly.
3016“ If I deliberately do what I think is right-- against your wishes-- what will you do? ” “ Do? ” The laughed bitterly.
3016“ If a woman refuses to mention her age is it because she''s ashamed of it? ” the girl retorted, and Mrs. Delafield flushed darkly.
3016“ In how short a time could you pack, Mrs. Halsey? ” she inquired.
3016“ Is it as good as your own?
3016“ Is it that he wo n''t let you keep on with the business? ” Diantha nodded.
3016“ Is she a-- a friend? ” she ventured, not sure of her ground.
3016“ It is simply that I have made up my mind I can do better elsewhere. ” “ Do what better? ” asked Mrs.
3016“ It''s more because it means_ both!_ ” She leaned to him, glowing, “ Do n''t you see?
3016“ It''s not at all bad looking, is it? ” she ventured.
3016“ It''s too late to go anywhere, I suppose? ” he ventured.
3016“ Madam Weatherstone? ” said the President, placatingly.
3016“ O-- allow it?
3016“ Of course not; and why should she?
3016“ Or perhaps you have been planning this for some time? ” “ No, ” said Viva.
3016“ Pack, ma''am?
3016“ Porne, ” he said, “ where''d that girl come from anyway?
3016“ Shall I attend to the orders this morning? ” asked Madam Weatherstone with an air of noble patience.
3016“ Shall I come home to lunch? ” he asked.
3016“ Shall we go in and read a bit? ” he offered; but she thought not.
3016“ She does n''t furnish table linen? ” “ No, there are Japanese napkins at the top here.
3016“ She does not give a fish course, does she? ” Mrs. Ree observed.
3016“ Six years?
3016“ Supper ready? ” asked Mr. Bell, with grim humor.
3016“ There''s no keeping anything from you, is there?
3016“ To leave home!--And Mother! ” “ Well? ” said Diantha, while the tears rose and ran over from her mother''s eyes.
3016“ To what does all this lead? ” asked Diantha pleasantly.
3016“ Too tired to sleep, you poor darling?
3016“ Very well, thank you, Mr. Thaddler. ” “ Them Chinks pay up promptly? ” “ As prompt as the month comes round.
3016“ We are all so truly convinced of the sacredness of the home duties! ” “ Well, what do you want me to do? ” asked their hostess.
3016“ We never pretended to have a fish course ourselves-- do you? ” Mrs. Ree did not, and eagerly disclaimed any desire for fish.
3016“ Well, why not?
3016“ Well-- why not?
3016“ What are you doing to Mother, Diantha? ” demanded young Mrs. Peters.
3016“ What are you getting at your present place-- if I may ask? ” loftily inquired the great Mrs. Thaddler, ponderous and beaded.
3016“ What are you going to give him, mother? ” “ Another bath- robe; his old one is so worn.
3016“ What are you talking about anyway? ” Diantha met his eyes unflinchingly.
3016“ What can I do?
3016“ What could she say?
3016“ What do you think of my investment? ” said Mrs. Weatherstone.
3016“ What do you_ expect_ to get?
3016“ What do you_ think_ I did it for?
3016“ What is it, Dear? ” he asked.
3016“ What is your name? ” “ No, ma''am, ” said the child-- she was scarce more.
3016“ What kind of work do you like best-- really? ” her daughter inquired suddenly, after a silent moment or two.
3016“ What''d I do it for? ” continued the unasked benefactor.
3016“ What''s all this I hear about you, young lady? ” he demanded, holding her hand and looking her straight in the eye.
3016“ What''s this about the new house, Miss Bell?
3016“ What_ beautiful_ manners she had! ” “ How rich is she, mother?
3016“ When can you come? ” she asked.
3016“ Where is it, dear? ” she whispered.
3016“ Whither away so fast, my dear? ” he amiably inquired.
3016“ Who? ” was the surprising answer.
3016“ Why ca n''t he see, ” she would say to herself, “ that if this succeeds, he can do his work; that I can make it possible for him?
3016“ Why do n''t you ask her? ” “ We will.
3016“ Why do n''t you go into it at once? ” urged Mrs. Weatherstone.
3016“ Why do n''t you stop it Mother dear?
3016“ Why should we, Ma? ” inquired Cora.
3016“ Why_ do n''t_ you get an oil stove?
3016“ Will you come to the platform, Dr. Eltwood? ” Dr. Eltwood came to the platform with the easy air of one to whom platforms belonged by right.
3016“ Will you come? ” he said.
3016“ Yes-- ” “ Do you sleep well? ” “ No-- not very. ” “ And I can see that you do n''t eat as you ought to.
3016“ Yes; it''s nothing; it''s gone already. ” “ Worry? ” she asked.
3016“ You are close by in case of any trouble. ” “ What on earth are you going for?
3016“ You say she was really a school- teacher?
3016“ You tried it some time, I understand? ” “ Indeed we did-- and would still if we had the chance, ” she replied.
3016“ You wo n''t come in and see mother and the girls? ” “ No, thank you; not this time.
3016“ Yours, Ross. ” “ Any time she felt like coming back?
3016“''Do you love me?''
12958''And art thou not a married wretch? 12958 ''But what can I do with the little baggage?''
12958''Is there no reason, think you,''said I,''to imagine that your acquaintance with me gives her uneasiness? 12958 ''Well, but after all, Sir Simon,''would I say, if I had been in presence at his peevish hour,''you are a fine gentleman, are you not?
12958All in good time, Pamela!--But is this the best appearance you choose to make, to receive such guests?
12958And are you in earnest, Pamela?
12958And do you think, Sir, whether it be so or not, that it is equitable it should be so?
12958And is her ladyship there, or in town?
12958And must I, Sir, speak my mind on such a point, before so many better judges?
12958And what is the result?
12958And who can better instruct us to guard_ our hearts_, than a lady who has so well defended_ her own_?
12958And will you, dearest lady, take under your own immediate protection, the poor unguilty infant? 12958 Are you angry, Widow?"
12958As how, Sir?
12958As how, my dear?
12958Ay, Pamela,said Mr. B.,"what can you say to this?
12958But do you yield it up cheerfully, my dear?
12958But how came Mr. Adams, Polly, to know of this letter?
12958But how can I help it?--Must I not connive at your proceedings, if I do not? 12958 But how does my Pamela?
12958But how, brother baronet,said Sir Charles to Sir Jacob,"came_ you_ to be reconciled to her?
12958But pray, dear Sir, what had you in view in all this? 12958 But then, Madam,"said Miss,"would Profusiana venture to play at public places?
12958But what became of the naughty boys, and the naughty girl, mamma?
12958But what can I do?
12958But why ca n''t you bear with it a little longer, sister? 12958 But will not that be presumptuous, Sir?"
12958But, after all, does happiness to a gentleman, a scholar, a philosopher, rest in a greater or lesser income? 12958 But, say, my Pamela, can you forgive my harshness?"
12958But,said Lady Towers, very satirically,"whither, ladies, are we got?
12958Butt cann you forgive me? 12958 Dear Sir, if I should tell you it is_ not_ Mr. Turner, you''ll guess at somebody else: and what avails all this to the matter in hand?
12958Dear Sir,said I, almost as quick as he was,"why should I be moved?
12958Do I want you, Confidence? 12958 Do n''t the Misses love you now, Miss Goodwin?"
12958Does what I said concern Mr. Martin more than any other gentleman,returned Lady Towers,"that he is disposed to take offence at it?"
12958For myself, what can I say? 12958 Has he given you money?"
12958How came Mr. B.,thought I,"to tell_ you_ that, Madam?
12958How can I enough,returned I, and kissed her hand,"acknowledge your ladyship''s polite goodness in this compliment?
12958How do you do, niece?
12958How dost thou know what wits_ should_ or should_ not_ do? 12958 How often must I chide you for calling me any thing but your Pamela, when we are alone together?"
12958I asked if it were not owing to some alteration in his own temper? 12958 I hope, friend, thou art prepared with a father for the light within thee?"
12958I know it, Polly; and are you not of opinion he loves you a little?
12958I need not dress otherwise than I am?
12958I see( might he not have said?
12958I''ll tell you, truly, Pamela: I said to her,''Well, now your ladyship has seen my Pamela-- Is she not the charmingest girl in the world?'' 12958 I_ am_, and what then?--Must the consequence be crime enough to warrant your jealousy?"
12958Is it not descending too much, my ladies, as to the company?
12958Is that it? 12958 Is this wit?"
12958It is so then?
12958Madam,said he to the countess,"Lord Davers, Lady Davers, do we want any titles, think you, to make us happy but what we can confer upon ourselves?"
12958Mr. Williams, how do you do?
12958Nay, now you talk of treating,said Sir Charles,"when, ladies, will you treat our sex with the politeness which you shew to one another?"
12958O my good lady,said he,"who can forbear following such an example as you set?
12958O, Madam, what can you mean? 12958 Right or wrong, Sir Jacob?"
12958She has; and what then?
12958Sir-- Sir,hesitated I,"as you please-- I can''t-- I ca n''t be displeased--""_ Displeased?_"interrupted he:"why that word?
12958Sir-- Sir,hesitated I,"as you please-- I can''t-- I ca n''t be displeased--""_ Displeased?_"interrupted he:"why that word?
12958So, Pamela!--How do you do now?
12958So, my dear love,says he,"how do you?"
12958That''s very true,replied he:"But would you expect I should give you a_ reason_ for an attempt that appears to you so very shocking?"
12958The very mention of the word, dear Sir, is a security to me; I want no other; I can not doubt: but if you speak short to me, how shall I bear that?
12958Then what occasion have I for it, if that be the case, Madam?
12958Then you do n''t approve of them, Pamela?
12958Then, dear Sir,said I,"must I not be a strange creature?
12958They are certainly in the right-- But were you not a dear perverse creature, to give me all this trouble about your saucy scruples?
12958Upon this, my mother said,''Do n''t you think Pamela writes a pretty hand, son?'' 12958 Was not my girl a little inquisitive upon me just now?"
12958Was the gentleman a man of wit, Madam? 12958 Well, Pamela,"said he, a little seriously,"what say the worthy pair?"
12958Well, but then, Sir, as to the expression to her uncle, that she had rather have been a certain gentleman''s second wife?
12958Well, but then, dear Sir, there is nothing at all amiss, at this rate, in the correspondence between my lady and you?
12958Well, but, mamma, we will all be good:-Won''t we, Master Davers?
12958Well, for my part,said Lady Davers,"thou art a strange girl: where, as my brother once said, gottest thou all this?"
12958Well, my dear,said Mr. B.,"but what would you advise in this case?
12958Well, my strange dear!--But sure your head is a little turned!--What is your question?
12958Well, so, this is your bar, is it? 12958 Well, then, my dearest,"said he,"we will forgive one another?
12958Well; but may I not ask, whether, if the mountain can not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will not come to the mountain? 12958 What a happy thing is it,"thought I,"that good nature generally accompanies this character; else, how would some people be supportable?"
12958What ails the little fool?
12958What answer did my Lord S. make to it?
12958What foolishness is this on both sides!--But are you willing to be released from this bargain?
12958What have I done? 12958 What is your boast, dearest Sir?
12958What is your proposal, my dear? 12958 What mean you, Sir?--Who are you, Sir?--What mean you?"
12958What means all this parade, my dear? 12958 What means my dearest?"
12958What now,with some little impatience,"would the pretty fool be at?"
12958What say_ you_, Sir?
12958What should you be vexed at, my dear?
12958What then, does he pass his time_ with you_, Polly?
12958What''s the matter, my love?
12958What, all this while, is poor Profusiana doing? 12958 What, dost think I shall look through_ his_ foolish eyes?
12958What_ means_ the dear creature? 12958 When, Sir, am I to come upon my trial?
12958Whence this insolence? 12958 Where''s Pamela?"
12958Whether, Sir, the Nun-- I speak boldly; the cause requires it-- who followed you at the Masquerade every where, is not the Countess of--?
12958Who is to be judge of that?
12958Who would not be good?
12958Who''s that?
12958Why have I wept the distresses of the injured Hermione?
12958Why so?
12958Why this,continued the countess,"must be_ born_ dignity--_born_ discretion-- Education can not give it:--if it could, why should not_ we_ have it?"
12958Will not a penitent Nun make a good third with a mournful Widow, and a prim Quaker?
12958Will not my friends be welcome, Pamela?
12958Will you be pleased, Madam, to have a chair? 12958 Will you favour us with your company home, my old acquaintance?"
12958Will you give Master to my arms, one moment, Madam?
12958Will you give me leave, my dear,said he,"to break the seal?"
12958Will you suffer me, Sir, to attend you? 12958 Will your ladyship see him now?"
12958Would you have me dress better?
12958Yet I fancy, Madam, the wind is a little too high for you.--Won''t you catch cold?
12958You answer me not,continued I;"and may I not fairly presume you can not as I wish to be answered?
12958You are ruined if you do!--And I wish-- But tell me, Polly, are you not ruined as it is?
12958You talk to me, my dearest life, as if all you had heard against me was true; and you would have me answer you,( would you?) 12958 You talked, Madam,"said she,"when I saw you before, that I should come and live with you-- Will you let me, Madam?
12958_ There_--and what then?
12958''And will you,''said I,''ingenuously acquaint me with the issue of your inquiries?
12958''This is her writing, is it?''
12958''Tis not unusual with our vain sex,"observed he,"to construe even reproaches to our advantage,")''is the lady here, whose shackles thou wearest?''
12958''s hands, since you have such testimonies,_ both_ of you, of the rectitude of her thinking and acting?"
12958''s in this particular?
12958''s place in her absence?"
12958( for I honour the slut with too much of my notice),"Where''s Polly?"
12958( who is since dead), I could not but notice her fondness for her, and said,''What do you design, Madam, to do_ with_ or_ for_, this Pamela of yours?
12958( who knows?)
12958),"let me offer but one thing: do n''t you think Sir Simon himself would be loth to be thought a reformed gentleman?
12958--"And what could he say?"
12958--"Are they so?"
12958--"As how?--As what?--In what way?--How faulty?"
12958--"But where,"said Lady Davers,"collectedst thou all this good sense, and fine spirit in thy devotion?"
12958--"Do I, Sir?"
12958--"Dost thou,"said she,"hate shackles?
12958--"For what, Lady Davers?"
12958--"For what, Madam?
12958--"I had consented--"--"To what?"
12958--"I hope not too, Polly!--But you know he was free enough with you, to make you say''_ Fie!_''And what might have been the case, who knows?
12958--"No, Madam, but--"--"But what?--Say, but what?"
12958--"Or in me?"
12958--"Rather,"whispered she,"what is become of the Spaniard?"
12958--"Well pray, Sir, go on.--What was next?"
12958--"Well then, shall I go up, and oblige Pamela to sup by herself, and persuade Lady Jenny to come down to us?"
12958--"What is it I hear?
12958--"What proposals?"
12958--"Why, dost believe, Goodman Andrews,"said he,"that I would do such a thing?
12958--"With all my heart, Madam,"replied Mr. Williams;"and I shall be proud of such a direction,"--"What say_ you_, brother?
12958--"With all my heart,"replied he.--"But, uncle,"said Mr. B.,"have you really no desire, no curiosity to see the girl I have married?"
12958--"With me, Sir Jacob?"
12958--"Yet, what is that virtue,"said the dean,"which can not stand the test?"
12958--"You speak to your knowledge, I doubt not, Sir Jacob?"
12958--''Is it not?''
12958--(Did she say?)
12958--For just then, the chariot brought me into the court- yard--"Who''s this?
12958--Lady Davers then turning herself to Mrs. Jervis--"How do you, good woman?"
12958--She was silent.--"Tell me, Polly( for I am really greatly concerned for you), what you think_ yourself_; do you_ hope_ he will marry you?"
12958--She was silent.--"Tell me, Polly, if he does?"
12958--Was not this, my ladies, a triumph of triumphs to the late miserable, now exalted, Pamela!--could I do less than pardon her?
12958--could resolve as she resolved, and act as she acted?
12958Again and again, I say( for what can I say else or more-- since I ca n''t find words to speak all I think?
12958All her courtship was sometimes a hasty snatch of the hand, a black and blue gripe of the arm, and--"Whither now?"
12958All my resolution fails me; what shall I do?
12958And I rung and rung, and"Where''s Polly?"
12958And I was getting away as fast as I could: but he arose and took my hand,"Why is my charmer so soon frightened?"
12958And being told, came up to me:--"What ails the good woman below, my dear?"
12958And can we propose ourselves, for the government of our children, a better example than that of the Creator?
12958And did her ladyship so answer?"
12958And do n''t you remember, when we were at Bath, in what a hurry I once passed by some knots of genteel people, and you asked what those were doing?
12958And having declared that I did so, was I not to shew the sincerity of my declaration?
12958And how could I forbear repeating these kind things to you, that you may see how well every thing is taken that you do?
12958And how did she bring it about?"
12958And if the dear gentleman had two or three thousand less, might he be less happy on that account?
12958And if you had intended to have gone without taking leave of me?"
12958And is it so great a praise, that you think fit to own for a sister so deserving a girl as this, whom I take pride in calling my wife?"
12958And let us know your opinion, whether my brother himself does right, to comply with such an unreasonable distaste?"
12958And now, my dear parents, do you not rejoice with me in this charming, charming appearance?
12958And rising up--"Will you excuse me, Sir, that I can not attend at all to such a subject as this?
12958And should you care to try?
12958And so we shew how little we deserve what we have been so long coveting; and yet covet on: for what?
12958And then looking up at his face, and down at his feet, three or four times successively,"Are you my brother''s son?
12958And what did you design should come of it?"
12958And what do you think the free gentleman said upon it?
12958And what have_ you_ to do but to rejoice?
12958And what is the instruction that can be gathered from such pieces, for the conduct of common life?
12958And what is the_ honour_ you swear by?
12958And what punishment does not such a seducer deserve?"
12958And what was the consequence?
12958And when once I asked myself, to what this conversation might tend at last?
12958And where''s your lord?
12958And who can then be so blest as your Pamela?
12958And why should it not be so?
12958And why this wry face?
12958And will it be right then to say, you are uneasy under such( at least as to your wills) returned and discharged obligations?
12958And will ladies so disgrace their characters, and their sex, as to pursue this pernicious diversion in public?"
12958And will not the man of_ mind_ bestow his principal care in improving that mind?
12958And wo n''t that be an ugly foible overcome?
12958Are you not?"
12958At last, up he got, and swore a sad oath:"And am I thus tricked and bamboozled,"that was his word;"am I?
12958B. come up again?
12958B. said,"Why are you not full- dressed, my dear?"
12958B.--"O why,"as Deborah makes the mother of Sisera say,"is his chariot so long in coming?
12958B.?"
12958B.?"
12958B.?"
12958B.?"
12958B.?"
12958B.?"
12958B.?"
12958Believing the Countess was desirous of being alone with me, I said,"My dear Miss Goodwin, wo n''t you go to your little nursery, my love?"
12958But Achilles could be touched only in his heel; and if he was to die by an enemy''s hands, must not the arrow find out that only vulnerable place?
12958But I have no notion of_ mere_ formalities of this kind"--(How unpolite this, my dear, in your friend?)
12958But after a pause, she said,"Well, then, brother, will you let Pamela decide upon this point?"
12958But are we not all apt to argue for a practice we make our own, because we_ do_ make it our own, rather than from the reason of the thing?"
12958But ca n''t we talk of any other subject?
12958But did she not ask you who you were?"
12958But do n''t you observe what a dear good lady I had?
12958But do you think I will call all these things my own?--Do you think I would live rent- free?
12958But does Mr. B. think it must be so in_ every_ matrimony?
12958But hark- ye- me, my sweet girl, what have I done, that you wo n''t write yourself_ sister_ to me?
12958But have you no other objection, if one could find a genteely- descended young Master?
12958But if she has been accustomed to grant him little favours, can she easily recal them?
12958But is such a Narcissus!--But this between ourselves, for his uncle is wrapt up in the fellow-- And why?
12958But pray, Sir, may I ask, what have you determined to do?"
12958But pray, Sir, what is the earl''s living valued at?"
12958But tell me what you would say?
12958But tell me, truly, Pamela, are you not a little sullen?
12958But tell me, what you think of''em?"
12958But this I see plainly, that he will have his own way; and if I can not get over my scruples, what shall I do?
12958But what a preamble is here?
12958But what are the princes of the earth, look at them in every nation, and what they have been for ages past, compared to this lady?
12958But what can I do?
12958But what foolishness is this!--What consideration has he made you?"
12958But what shall we say?
12958But what will become of the naughty boys?
12958But what, pray, Mr. Williams, do you propose to allow to your curate?
12958But where is such a gentleman as Mr. B. to be met with?
12958But who knows, when the time comes, whether it may not be proper to dispense with this duty, as you deem it, on other accounts?
12958But who was your_ first_ informant?--Was that by letter or personally?
12958But will you pardon me, if I ask, whither you go so soon?
12958But wo n''t you oblige me with the sequel of your letter to your father?
12958But you next require of me an instance, where, in complaisance to_ my_ will, he has receded from_ his own?_ I do n''t know what to say to this.
12958But, dear Sir, will you be pleased, to satisfy me about that affecting information, of your intention and my lady''s to live at Tunbridge together?"
12958But, indeed, how should she?
12958But, my dear friend, are you not in danger of falling into a too thoughtful and gloomy way?
12958But, would you believe it, Sir Simon?
12958But-- but--"staring at me,"Are you married, Madam?"
12958Can I have a will that is not his?
12958Can not you defend me from this charge?
12958Can people merit by doing their duty?
12958Can the affections be so highly raised as mine are on these occasions, and the thoughts creep grovelling like one''s ordinary self?
12958Can the gluttonous father expect a self- denying son?
12958Can the profuse father, who is squandering away the fortunes of his children, expect to be regarded in a lesson of frugality?
12958Colbrand?"
12958Could you ever have thought, my dear, that husbands have a dispensing power over their wives, which kings are not allowed over the laws?
12958Did he not look displeased?
12958Did she go my way?
12958Did you intend to carry this matter, at first, as far as ever you could?"
12958Did you not disdain me at that moment?"
12958Did you think that could be?
12958Do n''t you know how much I interest myself in every thing that makes for my brother''s happiness and your''s?
12958Do n''t you remember it, dear Sir?
12958Do n''t you see his delight, when speaking of his former pranks, as if sorry he could not play them over again?
12958Do n''t you think me, my dear, insufferably vain?
12958Do these instances come up to your questions, my dear?
12958Do they come up to your first question?
12958Do you ever hear Miss Goodwin say a naughty word?
12958Do you think I can bear to hear my friend so freely treated?"
12958Do you think I did not look very silly?
12958Do you think they do?--And if you hope to emulate my good fortune, do you think_ this_ is the way?"
12958Do, dear Miss, be so free as to forbid me to send you any more long journals, but common letters only, of how you do?
12958Does any thing provoke you_ now_"( with a sly leer and affected drawl)"that did not_ formerly?_""Provoke me!--What should provoke me?
12958Does any thing provoke you_ now_"( with a sly leer and affected drawl)"that did not_ formerly?_""Provoke me!--What should provoke me?
12958Does he pretend that he will marry you?"
12958Does not God himself, by rewards and punishments, make it our interest, as well as our duty, to obey him?
12958Does not this shew, that her virtue has made her more conspicuous than my fortune has made me?
12958Else how would it have been forgiveness?
12958For he will have me then reveal my intelligencer: and what may be the case between them?
12958For how, when you, and my good ladies, are continually giving me such charming examples, can I do a wrong thing?"
12958For is it not a sad thing, that the church should be profaned by such actions, and such thoughts, as ought not to be brought into it?
12958For must they not have implements to work with?
12958For since such is your will, and seem to be your engagements, what avails it to me to oppose them?
12958For what may not be feared from so early inculcating the use of dice and gaming, upon the minds of children?
12958For when the mind is elevated, ought not the sense we have of our happiness to make our expressions soar equally?
12958For, dear Sir, is there no doubt, that the tutor should lay himself open to the aversion of the child, whose manners he is to form?
12958From two such extremes, how was it possible I could presently hit the medium?
12958Go to, honest heart, I love thee dearly; but can Mr. B. do too much for his lady, think''st thou?
12958H.?"
12958Has not the Countess taken a house or lodgings at Tunbridge?"
12958Hast thou nothing at all to say for thyself?"
12958Have you any notion, that your lady will have so much power over us?"
12958Have you forgot that?"
12958Have you got her mother with you?
12958He gave me a gentle tap on the neck:"Let me beat my beloved sauce- box,"said he:"is it thus you rally my watchful care over you for your own good?
12958He looked at me with sternness,"Do you doubt my honour, Madam?"
12958He says, that he_ must_, and therefore he_ will_ be virtuous: and is a man for ever to hear the faults of his youth, when so willing to forget them?"
12958He smiled, and said,"Would you, my good Miss Darnford, look so silly, after such a length of time, with a husband you need not be ashamed of?"
12958He was pleased to ask me, when they were gone, how I liked his two lawyers?
12958Hold him fast, and play over all thy monkey tricks with him, with all my heart; who knows but it may engage him more?
12958How happy shall we be!--But how long will you be permitted to stay, though?
12958How know you, but he has found a way to your wife''s ear, as he has done to my uncle''s, and to all my friends''?
12958How shall I acknowledge your inexpressible goodness to me?
12958How should_ she_ be able to reflect, who knows not what reflection is, except of the spiteful sort?
12958How will a parent, whose hands are seldom without cards, or dice in them, be observed in lessons against the pernicious vice of gaming?
12958How, in a word, shall_ they_ come by their knowledge?
12958I asked, if I might not be excused writing, only making my observations, here and there, to himself, as I found occasion?
12958I began as follows:"Will you be pleased, Sir, to favour me with the continuation of our last subject?"
12958I believe you did feel the weight of my hand: but what was that?
12958I bowed my head to the Countess; but my tears being ready to start, I kissed my Billy:"Dearest baby,"said I,"you are not going to cry, are you?"
12958I doubt not, you are soon to return to Tunbridge?"
12958I fear you have sprained your foot.--Shall I help you to a chair?"
12958I had them in my pocket, and read them to my lady; who asked me, if her brother had seen them?
12958I hope you have a better opinion of me than--""Than what, Pamela?--What would you say?
12958I hope, niece, he locks up his baby, while you''re here?
12958I looked, it seems, a little grave; and Mr. B. said,"What have you to offer, Pamela?--What have I said amiss?"
12958I might have been_ drawne__ in_ to do strange foolish things, and been ruin''d at the long run; for who knows where this thing mought have ended?
12958I never saw one before though, in Mr. H.--What''s the matter, Sir?"
12958I repeat my demand: shall it be as Mrs. B. lays it out, or not?"
12958I said softly,"Dear Miss Darnford"( for Mr. B. and the Nun were out of sight in a moment),"what is become of that Nun?"
12958I shall never forget your looks, nor your words neither!--they were severe speeches, were they not, Sir?"
12958I took the charmer in my arms, and kissed her three or four times, as she deserved; for was not this very pretty in the child?
12958I''ll-- But who comes here?"
12958If I were as good as I_ ought_ to be, and as some_ think_ me, must they wish to make me bad for that reason?"
12958If my Pamela is safe, the boy is welcome, welcome, indeed!--But when may I go up to thank my jewel?"
12958If the fountain- head be polluted, how shall the under- currents run clear?
12958If this goodness makes him know no mean in giving, shall I be so greedy as to know none in receiving?
12958If this, Sir, be the case, does not this excellent author recommend a scheme that is rendered in a manner impracticable from this difficulty?
12958If you might not be uneasy at our acquaintance, and at his frequent absence from you, and the like?
12958Is it for this?
12958Is it not a proof of weakness?
12958Is it not a random shot?
12958Is it''cause thou''rt affected_ most_ with thy own case?
12958Is it?"
12958Is not such a poor creature to be pitied?
12958Is_ she_ like to do well?"
12958Is_ she_ safe?
12958It has been an expence to you rather, which you will not presently get up: do you propose an early marriage, Sir?
12958Jervis asked me on Saturday evening, if I would be concerned to see a larger congregation in the lesser hall next morning than usual?
12958Jervis?"
12958Jervis?"
12958Jervis?''
12958LETTER LXIX Why do n''t I subscribe Sister?
12958LETTER LXVIII Why does not my sweet girl subscribe_ Sister_, as usual?
12958LETTER V MY DEAREST DAUGHTER, How shall I do to answer, as they deserve, your two last letters?
12958LETTER X_ From the same._ And so, Pamela, you are solicitous to know, if the gentlemen have seen every part of your papers?
12958Lady Davers keeps me in countenance in this my notion; and who doubts her politeness?
12958Longman?"
12958Lord Davers-- what merit_ would_ you assume?
12958Madam, I could speak any one distinct sentence?
12958Madam--_ought_ I-- if this be the case?
12958Madam.--But where''s my nephew, Lady Davers?
12958May I not know your subject?"
12958May we hope to be favoured now and then with a letter from you, my dear child, like some of your former, to let us know how you go on?
12958Miss Darnford was addressed by the name of the Sprightly Widow: another asked, how long she intended to wear those weeds?
12958Mr. B. asks me how I relish Mr. Locke''s_ Treatise on Education_?
12958Mr. B. coming up just as I had concluded my letter, asked me what was my subject?
12958Mr. B. looked as if he still expected I should say something.--"Won''t you, Sir, dispense with me?"
12958Mr. B. said,"Observe you not, Lady Davers, that you used a word( to avoid that) which had twice the hissing in it that_ sister_ has?
12958Mr. B. said,"Wo n''t it be better to sit over- against her, uncle?"
12958Mr. H. putting his handkerchief to his eyes, his aunt said,"What''s the matter, Jackey?"
12958Mrs. B. reflects upon me for making her blush formerly, and saying things before my daughters, that, truly, I ought to be ashamed of?
12958Must not such a lady as this, dear Madam, have as much merit as many even of those, who, having not had her temptations, have not fallen?
12958My Lady Davers followed us:"Where is my angelic sister?"
12958My Lord Davers sat next me, and Sir Jacob said,"Shall I beg a favour of you, my lord, to let me sit next to Lady Jenny?"
12958My brother was not disturbed at them, was he?"
12958No, to what purpose should I speak?
12958O Mores!_ What will this world come to?"
12958O my dear parents, how can you, as in your_ postscript_, say,"May we not be_ favoured_ now- and- then with a letter?"
12958O when shall I see you?
12958O, my dear, these gentlemen are strange creatures!--What can they think of themselves?
12958Of such a prerogative in a husband?
12958On the contrary, is it not oftener to be found in a happy competency or mediocrity?
12958Or did you intend to induce him to go to town with us?"
12958Or is it, that thy hour is not yet come?"
12958Or is not what I have said, a full answer, were I to say no more, to_ all_ your enquiries?
12958Or were it not better to suspend your intentions of that sort for a year or two more?"
12958Or what words shall be found to embody air?
12958Or would it be excusable if I_ had?_ All little matters I cheerfully give up: great ones have not yet occurred between us, and I hope never will.
12958Or,''Why should Sally have this or that, any more than I?''
12958Pray, Madam"( to me),"have you ever been at all conversant in such writers?"
12958Pray-- have you shewn Jewkes''s letter to your good friend?--Lady Betty wants to know( if you_ have_) what he could say to it?
12958Put on an angrier brow, or how shall I retain my purpose?
12958See you not,"and I pressed his hand with my lips,"they are all gone already?"
12958Shall I call her in?''
12958Shall I engage her to visit you?
12958Shall I present you with a curiosity?
12958Shall such a girl as this awe me by her rigid virtue?
12958She asked me, pretty dear, just now, If I think there is such a happy girl in the world as she is?
12958She returned, with an affected laugh,"Smartly said!--But art thou come hither, friend, to make thy light shine before men or women?"
12958She says you can play on the harpsichord, and sing too; will you let a body have a tune or so?
12958Sir, dispense with me on this occasion?
12958Sir, what then was there on_ your_ side, in that matter, that made you give me so patient and so kind a hearing?"
12958Sir, you had rather it were a girl than a boy?"
12958Sir; it is you that part with me: and tell me, Sir, tell me but what you had intended should become of me?"
12958Sir?
12958Sir?
12958Sir?"
12958Sir?"
12958Suppose my dear Mr. B. had five thousand pounds a year added to his present large income, would that increase his happiness?
12958Tell me, how it is possible for me, in my situation, to avoid it?"
12958That is to say, how a young lady ought to guard against and overcome the first favourable impressions?"
12958That it would add to his cares, is no question; but could it give him one single comfort which he has not already?
12958The business is, if Miss Darnford could love him well enough for a husband?
12958The gentlemen laughed:"Is it shooting flying, Sir Jacob,"returned Sir Charles,"to praise that lady?"
12958Then she must make a brighter appearance by far, and a more pleasing one too: for why?
12958Then why this complaining?
12958They are all living, I hope?"
12958They have taken their house, I suppose: but what need they, when they''ll have one in Bedfordshire, and one in Lincolnshire?
12958This frighted them both: Mr. H. swore, and said,"Who can that be?--Your lady''s gone with them, is n''t she?"
12958This is it: I put it in my bosom, when he came up: he saw me do so:"Are you writing, my dear, what I must not see?"
12958Thou married to a lord, and thy brother to a-- Can''st tell me what, Barbara?
12958Thus( could your ladyship have thought it?)
12958To whom were you directing your favours now?
12958Towers,"may one ask, what particular subject was at this time your employment?"
12958Towers,"whenever you censure any indiscretion, you seldom fail to give cautions how to avoid it; and pray let us know what is to be done in this case?
12958Upon which my lady said, a little tartly,"Yes, and for a very good reason, I doubt not; for who cares to condemn himself?"
12958Was the lady a woman of taste?"
12958We being alone, after supper, I took the liberty to ask him, who was of his party to Oxford?
12958Well, but what shall I say more?
12958What a plague has this little witch done to you all?
12958What ails you, Pamela?"
12958What are they, my lord?"
12958What can one do?--Did you ever hear of such a notion, before?
12958What can one say to all things?
12958What can two such ladies write, that I may not see?"
12958What do you see of freedom in me?"
12958What have I said now?"
12958What made me such a fool, I wonder?
12958What means that heaving sob?
12958What new thing shall I have?"
12958What occasion is there for it?
12958What say you to these things, my dear?
12958What think you, Mr. B.?
12958What vexes me is, that when the noble uncle of this vile lady--(why do n''t you call her so as well as I?)
12958What would I not do, in short, to procure to myself the inexpressible pleasure that I should have in your company and conversation?
12958What would_ you_ advise, my dear?"
12958What, I say, had I to do, to take upon me lady- airs, and to resent?
12958What, I warrant, you would not be too much beholden to his honour, would you?"
12958What, and make you cry''_ Fie!_''-or do you intend to trust your honour to his mercy, rather than to your own discretion?"
12958What, indeed, does not such a deceiver deserve?"
12958What, may I ask, came next?
12958What_ can_ I say for Polly Barlow?
12958What_ means my_ Pamela?
12958When Mr. B. is all tenderness and indulgence, and requires of me nothing, that I can have a material objection to, ought I_ not_ to oblige him?
12958Where have you been these two hours, that you never came near me, when you knew''twas my time to have my foot rubbed, which gives me mortal pain?"
12958Which side are you of?"
12958Who knows but we may find out some cousin or friend of Mr. Murray''s between us, that we may persuade to address you?
12958Who''s housekeeper now?
12958Who, that knows these things of him, would wish him to be hers, with all his advantages of person, mind, and fortune?"
12958Why should I thus sadden all your gaudy prospects?
12958Why starts this precious pearl?"
12958Why tarry the wheels of his chariot?"
12958Why the plague,"whispered he,"could you not have pitched your tent here?
12958Why the word_ foolish_, aunt?
12958Why then all this emotion?"
12958Why, she is not to sit at table, is she?
12958Will ladies game, Madam?
12958Will my dear papa grant it, do you think, if you were to lay the highest obligation upon your dutiful daughter, and petition for me?
12958Will that please you, Sir?"
12958Will this instance, my dear, come up to your demand for one, where he recedes from his own will, in complaisance to mine?
12958Will you excuse me, my dear, all this seeming vanity, for the sake of repeating exactly what passed?
12958Will you excuse me, my dear?
12958With how ill a grace must a man who will often be disguised in liquor, preach sobriety?
12958Wo n''t it look like intolerable vanity in me, to find fault with such a genius as Mr. Locke?
12958Wo n''t there be a fine twinkling and sparkling, think you, when the greater and lesser bear- stars are joined together?
12958Would Miss Goodwin, think you, have done so or so?"
12958Would he not have thought the humble cottager as capable of insolence, and vengeance too, in her turn, as the better born?
12958Would it not be inevitable ruin to her to leave me?
12958Would not his honour think if I hid one thing from him, I might hide another?
12958Would you care to subscribe to it?
12958Writing, I dare say?
12958Yet what could he have done?
12958Yet, how much better is it to suffer one''s self, than to be the cause of another''s sufferings?
12958You are to suppose the living in your own hands again; will you leave the whole matter to my_ sister_ here?"
12958You desire to know, my honoured papa, how Mr. B. passes his time, and whether it be in his lady''s chamber?
12958You do n''t keep her company, do you?"
12958You have had instances of the vile arts of men against poor maidens: have you any notion that Mr. H. intends to do honourably by you?"
12958You''re the Countess of C.''s youngest daughter Jenny-- That''s your cue."--"Ah?
12958_ Am_ I mistaken?"
12958_ Common decency_, did you say?
12958a passionate man, patience?
12958added he:"Have you not a son worthy of such an alliance?"
12958an irreligious man, piety?
12958and that she wanted but the power, to shew the like unrelenting temper, by which she had so grievously suffered?
12958and where the pleasure each seemed to take in the other''s, might possibly end?
12958and whether you expected an answer from me to your last?
12958and why that hesitation in your answer?
12958as you do, what ails Mrs. Jervis?
12958but tell me, who will part with their child, think you?
12958coming to me, and folding me in his arms over the chair''s back, the seat of which supported my trembling knees,"Can you so easily part with me?"
12958did I betray any impatience of speech or action, or any discomposure?
12958fear you not an instant punishment for this appeal?
12958goes?"
12958hadst thou been born a fool, or a raw greenhead, or a doating greyhead--"--"What then, Sir Jacob?"
12958how can you speak such a word?
12958let it take its course!--How barbarously, methinks, I speak!--He ought to_ feel_ the lash, first, because he_ deserves_ it, poor little soul?
12958might I not well be grave, knowing what I knew?)
12958my dear lady, what could I do?
12958my dear,"said I;"what is beauty, if she be not a good girl?
12958my dear,"said he,"no papa and mamma!--Did they not send you a pretty black boy to wait upon you, a while ago?
12958or do they not?
12958rob me of heaven too?
12958said I;"and is it thus, by_ repeating_ your fault, that you_ atone_ for it?
12958said he, and stamped--"Who can choose but bless you?
12958said he:"I hope you and she have had no words?"
12958said she,''whither can she go, to be so happy as with me?
12958said she:"how could you help it?
12958said the silly girl--"yet that was like her voice!--Me''m, are you in your closet, Me''m?"
12958that I should have been what I am?"
12958we condemn every man who dresses well, and is not a sloven, as a fop or a coxcomb?"
12958what wilt thou do?
12958whistled he, with a wild stare:"and how is it with you, youngster?"
12958who is she?"
8157''Ave yer no feeling; do n''t yer know what it is to bid good- bye to yer sister, and perhaps for ever?
8157A lovely evening, is n''t it?
8157A man will trip over a piece of wire laid across the street, but that do n''t prove he ca n''t walk, do it, Walter?
8157A sinner that repenteth----I will speak about this at our next meeting; you will come with me there?
8157About the betting-- what is it to do with him?
8157Ah, is it indeed?
8157Ah, that''s it, is it? 8157 Ah, then it was n''t lately?"
8157Ah, then you are the new kitchen- maid? 8157 Ai n''t you doing the trade you was?"
8157Ai n''t you got no idea of any sort?
8157Ai n''t you the chap,said William,"what laid Mr. Ketley six''alf- crowns to one against Cross Roads?"
8157All bloody rot; who says I''m drunk? 8157 All right, Teddy.... And if you''d cut us a couple each of strong sandwiches-- you can manage a couple, Teddy?"
8157And I can only do that by going away to live with you?
8157And all that time you''ve been a good woman?
8157And are you jealous?
8157And does all that land belong to the Gaffer?
8157And how did it all end?
8157And how do you find him to- day?
8157And how many acres are there?
8157And how much do you reckon will see you through it?
8157And if you were to meet him again, would you care to marry him?
8157And is he sorry?
8157And is those the''orses?
8157And may I go downstairs and help Jane to make it?
8157And may I stop with father while you are cooking his dinner?
8157And my husband making a book yonder?
8157And shall you take the place?
8157And suppose,she exclaimed, tightening her brows,"that Soap- bubble had won, what would have become of our money?"
8157And the horse did n''t win?
8157And then?
8157And they all died?
8157And they all died?
8157And they thinks they can bring him fit to the post and win the Cesarewitch with him by walking him all day?
8157And what about a character?
8157And what about those clothes? 8157 And what did you say?"
8157And what did you say?
8157And what was the accident you met with, Esther?
8157And what, may I ask, are yer thinking of doing? 8157 And why was n''t he?"
8157And you believed him?
8157And you left like that? 8157 And you wo n''t let me see the child?"
8157And you''ll show us yer dresses, wo n''t you?
8157And you''ll take the child off my hands for ever for five pounds?
8157And you, Maggie, do you remember me too?
8157Anything else? 8157 Anyway, it appears you have n''t enough; what are you going to do?
8157Are n''t you afraid, ma''am?
8157Are the''orses he backs what you''d call well in?
8157Are they outsiders that he backs?
8157Are you better now, dear?
8157Are you glad?
8157Are you in service here?
8157Are you married?
8157Are you still determined to leave the hospital?
8157Are you sure that Chasuble has n''t won?
8157Are you sure,said Esther, and she bit her lips while she spoke,"that it is entirely for the neighbourhood that you want to get up the prosecution?"
8157Baptise them?
8157Being a bit short of money----"How much is it?
8157Better than I was on Friday, but this weather''ll do for me if it continues much longer.... You see them two beds? 8157 Bill put you out of doors?
8157Bisque Soup, what''s that? 8157 But did you ever notice,"said Mr. Ketley,"that there was certain days on which he bet?"
8157But do you think that Courtney will take the same view of his capabilities as you do-- do you think he''ll let him off as easily as you have?
8157But do you think you could get me a situation as wet- nurse?
8157But he will always keep on trying them,said Mr. Swindles,"and what''s the use, says I, of trying''orses that are no more than''alf fit?
8157But if he was to give you another boat, one with four sails?
8157But if there had been no accident and you''ad looked down the list of''orses,''ow do yer know that yer would''ave spotted the winner?
8157But my poor old man is quiet enough-- aren''t you, dear?
8157But what can I do?
8157But what do you think now?
8157But what has all this to do with me?
8157But when I get my divorce?
8157But why ca n''t I wear that velvet suit, and why ca n''t father come back? 8157 But why do you want to see the boy?
8157But why should you go to the workhouse? 8157 But you do, Lizzie?"
8157But you''ve forgot all about them Brethren?
8157But''aven''t you got sixpence, mother? 8157 Ca n''t you go after meeting?"
8157Can I give you a character? 8157 Can I?
8157Can you come out this evening?
8157Can you not read, Esther?
8157Can you see him now?
8157Come, come, mates, we are bound to''ave a bet on him for the Chesterfield-- we can afford it now; what say yer, a shilling each?
8157Come, come.... What do you mean by talking to me like that? 8157 Come, now, do yer want to ride the crack at Goodwood or do yer not?
8157Could n''t you see it was only a joke?
8157Could you spare me, miss, for an hour or so?
8157Did he bet with you?
8157Did he say any race? 8157 Did n''t like to tell me that you was as hard up as all that?
8157Did you lose much?
8157Did you''ear me speak just now?
8157Did your wife like Paris?
8157Do n''t he go no more to race meetings?
8157Do n''t the omens throw no light on this''ere matter?
8157Do n''t the thirty pounds you''re asking for Sarah come out of betting?
8157Do n''t you sometimes think that we ca n''t always go on without being caught? 8157 Do n''t you think we''d better wait?
8157Do they talk much about Ben Jonson for the Cesarewitch?
8157Do you expect me to bring up the child to wherever the lady lives, and pay my''bus fare, all out of five shillings a week? 8157 Do you hear what they''re saying about the fish?"
8157Do you intend to do no more betting''ere?
8157Do you know him?
8157Do you know them all?
8157Do you like him very much, then?
8157Do you listen much to the betting talk here of an evening?
8157Do you mean all that we can see?
8157Do you mean it, Esther?
8157Do you mean that she should say that she pawned the plate to get money to back a horse?
8157Do you mind my stopping in the kitchen with you? 8157 Do you not accept my apologies, mother?"
8157Do you see that girl there? 8157 Do you see, there''s the child to consider?
8157Do you think He will-- and the others that we know nothing about? 8157 Do you think I''d leave him behind?
8157Do you think if they brought him to the post as fit and well as he was the day he won the Ebor that he''d win?
8157Do you think not?
8157Do you think prayers any good?
8157Do you want him back?
8157Do''e drink?
8157Does he require the doctor? 8157 Does he speak about the child?
8157Done for a shilling each,said the under- porter;"finest''orse in training.... What price, Musser Watkins?"
8157Esther, are you serious? 8157 Favourites all beaten today; what have you got for me to eat, old girl?"
8157Fond of readin''?
8157For the time, maybe; but who says it will go on? 8157 Fred, I ca n''t help myself-- can''t you see that?
8157Ginger beer with a drop of whiskey in it, that''s about it, Teddy?
8157Handicaps?
8157Has anyone seen this letter?
8157Have n''t I shown you that the''orse was backed at Tattersall''s the day you made the bet at eight to one?
8157Have n''t you got another dress that you can put on?
8157Have the favourites been winning?
8157Have you backed it?
8157Have you got any friends to whom you can go?
8157Have you much on?
8157Have you sent for the doctor?
8157Have you thought of that danger, Esther?
8157Have you, Esther?
8157He could n''t starve, could he?
8157He do n''t know nothing about you-- how should''e?
8157He does his betting in London now, I suppose?
8157He made you do that?
8157He said,''How are ye?... 8157 He told you all that, did he?
8157He''s a very religious young man?
8157Here we are,he said;"do n''t you remember the place?"
8157How are you to- day, dearie?
8157How can you think that, Bill? 8157 How could I have a father that was n''t my own real father?"
8157How could you think that?
8157How did you hear it?
8157How do yer know that, Jenny?
8157How do you do, Esther? 8157 How do you expect me to get on without you?"
8157How do you know it''s a son?
8157How do you know there was anything wrong? 8157 How do you know, Jackie?"
8157How do you know?
8157How does it work out?
8157How does she know that your story is true? 8157 How many times will they gallop him?"
8157How many''ave you got, and''ow did yer manage to save up enough money to buy such beauties, if they''re all like that?
8157How much did they get on the plate?
8157How much do you think of paying for him?
8157How much have we in the bank, dear?
8157How much is it in for? 8157 How much is it in for?
8157How much shall we want?
8157How much? 8157 How old is he?"
8157How was it that you happened to meet William-- I think you said his name was William?
8157How was it, then, that you put in Silver Braid?
8157How was it? 8157 How was that?
8157How''s that, Esther? 8157 How''s that, should n''t you care?"
8157How''s that?
8157Hungry, is he? 8157 I do n''t know that we should be any foolisher than you,"said Esther;"do n''t you never go and overlay your book?
8157I do not want to go after him; but he is n''t hurt? 8157 I dun know... you''re a bit late, are n''t you?"
8157I give you a good''ome, do n''t I? 8157 I have come a long way; is there no one else I can see?"
8157I have n''t been an extravagant wife, have I?
8157I hope you''re not disappointed?
8157I know that, dearie; but where''s the good in talking about it? 8157 I know very well indeed that it is not right to bet; but what can I do, a poor girl like me?
8157I know what he was; is he any worse now?
8157I see, you''ve brought him up to hate me?
8157I suppose you must be getting back; would you like a drop of something?
8157I suppose you''ll tell me the train was late?
8157I think you told me that he married one of the young ladies at the place you were then in situation?
8157I thought you was so hungry you could n''t walk home, dear?
8157I was n''t going to stop there and my child ill."Yer do n''t mean to tell me that yer''ave gone and thrown hup the situation?
8157I''m getting a bit peckish; ai n''t you, dear? 8157 I''ve got you a bunch of yellow flowers, sir; will you wear them now, or shall I put them in the bag?"
8157I? 8157 If Mrs. Rivers saw you now a- nursing of yer baby?"
8157If he was to give you a boat with two masts, would you take it?
8157If one was really in the know, then I do n''t say nothing about it; but who of us is ever really in the know?
8157Irish or Scotch, ma''am? 8157 Is he coming on in the betting?"
8157Is he gone? 8157 Is it likely?"
8157Is it time to get up?
8157Is not that old John''s wife?
8157Is that the same woman who was here when I first came in? 8157 Is that the way to leave your patient, sister?"
8157Is that very far from here?
8157Is that you, Sarah?
8157Is that you, mother?
8157Is that your first child?
8157Is that your wife?
8157Is the place vacant?
8157Is this the Derby?
8157Is this true, Esther?
8157It do n''t matter; wo n''t you come in, if it''s only for a minute?
8157It do seem strange, do n''t it?
8157It goes to my''eart,said Mrs. Spires,"it do indeed, but, Lord, it is the best that could''appen to''em; who''s to care for''em?
8157It is both of us,said Esther;"you''ll do what I said, Sarah?"
8157It seems to me a strange taste to want to kneel down with a lot of little shop- keepers.... Is this where you kneel?
8157It was n''t Bob Barrett that gave you the tip?
8157It''s all right,he said;"you never saw me before in these togs-- fine, ai n''t they?
8157Jackie''s father has come back?
8157Jackie,she said,"do you know who this gentleman is who has come to see you?"
8157Jenny, what has happened; is mother very bad?
8157Lady?
8157Leave me, because I do n''t wish you to spend your money wrongfully, because I know the temptations that a young girl''s life is beset with?
8157Master Harry, I''m surprised at you; will you let me go by at once?
8157May I go too?
8157May I go with you?
8157Most extra-- most extraordinary thing I ever heard in my life, so yer''ere?
8157Mr. Stack, wo n''t you ask her to come upstairs?... 8157 Mummie, may I have buttered toast?"
8157My dear boy, what do I care for your apologies; what are they to me? 8157 No, I ai n''t; what about that?"
8157No, dear; but where''s all the people-- the drags, the carriages?
8157No, miss, what''s the use?
8157Not had anything to eat all day, dear? 8157 Now tell me, if they ask me, the young gents yonder, to dance, am I to look them straight in the face and say no?"
8157Now, Esther, is there nothing for you to do?
8157Now, I''d like to ask you if there''s any three- year- olds that would be likely to interfere with him?
8157Now, is n''t it a grubby little room to put two girls to sleep in? 8157 Oh, Jenny, you wo n''t do that, will you?
8157Oh, Sarah, what is this?
8157Oh, did they say that?
8157Oh, how do you do, dear Fred? 8157 Oh, is that you?
8157Oh, it is the boy you''re thinking of?
8157Oh, mother, of course he''ll live; why should n''t he?
8157Oh, mummie, what have I done that you wo n''t look at my boat? 8157 Oh, what in the world is all this?
8157One more, just for luck; do yer''ear?
8157One of them unfortunate accidents,repeated Journeyman, derisively;"what''s accidents to do with them that''as to do with the reading of omens?
8157Please sir, is this the way to Woodview?
8157Punishment for what, father?
8157Racing?
8157Ruining you, Esther?
8157Shall I be taken through the streets?
8157Shall I wait for you?
8157She did n''t tell you where she had pledged the plate?
8157Silver Braid was one of your horses?
8157So all the servants have left Woodview? 8157 So he came here to tell you that, did he?
8157So he married you?
8157So some says; but who knows what he has? 8157 So they spends the summer at Woodview and goes to foreign parts for the winter?"
8157So you all say; but supposing it were to happen again, and in my house? 8157 So you ca n''t get your divorce?"
8157So you saw no Derby after all?
8157So you''re ashamed of me, is that it? 8157 So you''re going to live in a public- house, Esther?
8157Tell me, there''s nothing the matter with Miss Mary?
8157Ten half- sovereigns to one?
8157That means that you refuse to nurse my baby?
8157That was a great day, was n''t it? 8157 That will be all right, but what am I to do with this sixpence?"
8157That''s a good boy-- and you want your tea?
8157The one that you kicked downstairs?
8157The same?
8157Then I''m to take no for an answer?
8157Then Jackie lives at the Rye?
8157Then all about wanting to see the child was a pack of lies?
8157Then come in.... How is it that we''ve not seen you all this time? 8157 Then it must be on information from the stable authorities?"
8157Then what books have you read?
8157Then why do I find you in such company? 8157 Then will you give me the book?"
8157Then you do n''t think you''ll go to Newmarket?
8157Then you like some one else better?
8157Then you travel second- class?
8157Then you want me to send her away?
8157Then you wo n''t come?
8157Then, ma''am, would you prevent every poor girl who has had a misfortune from earning her bread? 8157 There''s a child, then, is there?"
8157There''s another chap?
8157There''s some places that you likes better than others, ai n''t they?
8157They are not carriage- horses, are they? 8157 They said they thought that they could patch you up?"
8157They''ve been down on a great number lately, but what can I do? 8157 To the Close or the Open?"
8157To your family?
8157Unless what?
8157Upstairs? 8157 Was it?
8157Was you indeed? 8157 Well, are you still determined to go home?"
8157Well, did you get full marks to- day?
8157Well, do you think the Gaffer''s satisfied?
8157Well, feeling a bit poorly?
8157Well, what are yer thinking of doing?
8157Well, what is it?
8157Well, will you come?
8157Well,said Mr. Trubner,"have you discharged her?
8157Were you on in that ride? 8157 What about it?"
8157What about their poor wives? 8157 What are the wages, miss?"
8157What are you crying about, Esther? 8157 What are you crying about?"
8157What are you going to ask me?
8157What are you looking at?
8157What are you waiting for, I should like to know?
8157What business is that of yours? 8157 What can I do for you to- day, sir?"
8157What did he say to that?
8157What did he say?
8157What did he say?
8157What did she tell you, Esther?
8157What do he mean?
8157What do he say about Jack? 8157 What do you mean?
8157What do you say to''alf a pint,said Stack,"and we''ll go steadily through your''andicap?
8157What has going or not going to the hospital to do with Chasuble''s chance of winning the Cambridgeshire?
8157What has happened? 8157 What has the child got to do with you that you should come down ordering people about for?
8157What has the grease of my pocket- book to do with it?
8157What have you been doing to the girl?
8157What is it to you what he is crying for?
8157What is it to you?
8157What is it? 8157 What is the child crying for?"
8157What is the matter?
8157What is there for me to answer? 8157 What letter, mother?"
8157What odds is it to you?
8157What price the favourite?
8157What should you say was his system?
8157What sort of man should you say he was? 8157 What time shall I come for you?"
8157What was it?
8157What was that?
8157What will you have?
8157What would you have me answer?
8157What''ave I been doing? 8157 What''ll you have?
8157What''orse?
8157What''s all this row about?
8157What''s it to me? 8157 What''s my pocket- book to do with it?
8157What''s that?
8157What''s the matter? 8157 What''s the matter?
8157What''s the matter?
8157What''s the use in taking us at all if you fling us out on the street when we can hardly walk?
8157What''s the use of thinking of things that''s over? 8157 What''s this?
8157What''s this?
8157What, Esther, is it you?
8157What, after being fined £100? 8157 What, all among the people?"
8157What, fit and well as he was when he won the Great Ebor, and with six- seven on his back? 8157 What, is it you, Margaret?"
8157What, me too?
8157What, not Wheatear, and with all that American corn in my''ead? 8157 What, ten half- crowns?"
8157What, you here again, Miss Holmes? 8157 What,''ave yer lost yer situation?"
8157Whatever is the matter? 8157 When are you going to him?"
8157When do we start?
8157When will you buy me the boat, mummie-- to- morrow?
8157When will you know the result of the trial?
8157Where am I? 8157 Where am I?
8157Where did you get this?
8157Where did you pick up that bloke?
8157Where do they start?
8157Where is he? 8157 Where is he?"
8157Where is my baby?
8157Where is my boy?
8157Where shall I go?
8157Where used you to go?
8157Where''s my baby?
8157Where''s that?
8157Which are they?
8157Which is the best dinner here?
8157Who got eighteen months?
8157Who is there?
8157Who''ll put me out?
8157Who''s he? 8157 Who''s this?
8157Whom did you marry, Esther?
8157Why ca n''t you leave that innocent girl alone?
8157Why ca n''t you?
8157Why can not they leave me my son?
8157Why did n''t yer tell me that afore? 8157 Why did you not confide in me?
8157Why do you ask?
8157Why go back on that old story?
8157Why have n''t you brought him?
8157Why not? 8157 Why should the two shillings that would have gone to Soap- bubble, if anyone''ad drawn''i m, go to the first''orse rather than to the second?"
8157Will it last so long as that?
8157Will you buy me another? 8157 Will you come this way?"
8157Will you do this? 8157 Will you lay the price, William-- twenty- five half- sovereigns to one?"
8157Will you lend me a quid?
8157Will you show me the way?
8157Will you, mummie? 8157 Will you?"
8157Wo n''t they give yer any at the shop? 8157 Wo n''t you come and walk with me?"
8157Wo n''t you cook this for me, missis?
8157Wo n''t you step round, sir, to the private bar?
8157Wot do yer say? 8157 Would n''t you like to step into the parlour; you''ll be more comfortable?"
8157Yes, I hear,said Esther, speaking like one in a dream;"do n''t she care for her baby, then?"
8157Yes, but will you get it?
8157Yes, do that surprise you?
8157Yes, is n''t it strange?... 8157 Yes, there''s a chair; but tell me what is the matter with him?"
8157Yes, they all died; and this little one do n''t look as if it was long for the world, do it?
8157Yes, yes, but how do we know that there was any lead to speak of in the Demon''s saddle- cloth?
8157You ai n''t married, of course?
8157You are n''t afraid to be left in the house alone, miss? 8157 You are the young person who wants a situation as wet- nurse?"
8157You are used to service?
8157You do n''t believe that no''orses is pulled?
8157You do n''t believe that no''orses is pulled?
8157You do n''t know any Charlotte Street about here, do you?
8157You do n''t mean that you want me to go and live with you, and perhaps get left a second time?
8157You do n''t mind staying with me a few minutes, do you, dear? 8157 You do n''t think any of the three- year- olds would have a chance with him?
8157You do n''t think there''s any other reason, Esther? 8157 You have no reason for supposing----How often did Master Harry speak to you in this way?"
8157You have not forgotten your religion, I hope?
8157You married a betting man, Esther? 8157 You mean that you think that one of these days we shall have the police down upon us?"
8157You mean you''re keeping company with a chap and do n''t want me?
8157You remember my mother, the cook? 8157 You say the agency wants two pounds for each person?"
8157You seem to be very fond of her; what did she do for you?
8157You think he thinks that?
8157You think so?
8157You want to know why the omen was n''t right? 8157 You was up there this morning?"
8157You will come, wo n''t you, mummie? 8157 You would give up betting then?"
8157You would n''t like to have any other father except your own real father?
8157You''d know the shop again?
8157You''ll look after my wife and Miss Tucker, wo n''t you?
8157You''ll wear the green tie, sir?
8157You''re afraid to trust me, is that it?
8157You''ve got a letter?
8157You''ve had a cold journey, Esther; you''d like some tea?
8157You''ve told him you were going off to live with William?
8157Your name is Sarah Tucker?
8157''And what did he tell you to do?''
8157''Aven''t yer''eard what''e says?
8157''Let me go; what do you want me for?
8157''Now do you quite understand?''
8157''Now what did he say I was to do?''
8157''So there''s a child, is there?''"
8157''as he been a servant, should you say?"
8157... That''s you, Esther?"
8157A change of expression came over Sarah''s face, and William said,"You''re surely not still hankering after him?"
8157A little girl, is n''t it?"
8157Above all, what had the poor, innocent child done to deserve it?
8157After a moment''s reflection, he said,"If you be father, why did n''t you come to see us before?"
8157Ai n''t he well?"
8157Ai n''t that enough for yer?"
8157Ai n''t they dark?"
8157An awkward silence intervened, and then he said--"Wo n''t you come in; service is going on?"
8157And did n''t she own up to it?
8157And if they did give her her fare back-- what then?...
8157And living here alone, what should I be without prayer?
8157And what was the footman like?
8157And you believed it all?"
8157Are n''t they shabby?"
8157Are n''t you coming with father to the Rye to see me sail it?"
8157Are you going that way?"
8157Are you going to stop here, or are you coming in with me?
8157Are you still living at Hackney?"
8157Arthur?"
8157As usual he says,''Now do you quite understand?''
8157At last, he said--"But you''ve repented, Esther?"
8157Be patient, your health is coming back; it is a present from God; you would like to know Him and thank Him from the bottom of your heart?"
8157Before she had opened her lips her face had said:"Come, what is it?
8157Besides, what do you get out of it?
8157Bournemouth way, what do you think?"
8157But I daresay I''m too''ard on him; is n''t lies our natural lot?
8157But I think you said you did n''t want to have a father?"
8157But I''eard William, that''s the footman--""What are you stopping for?
8157But ca n''t yer see that it ai n''t no Charlotte Street she wants, but Queen Charlotte''s Hospital?
8157But how could she help it?
8157But how had she done it?
8157But how should she rid herself of him?
8157But how''ll you manage to get the dinner?"
8157But she would n''t be more than half- an- hour; would they look after the house till her return?
8157But tell me, how did yer get out?
8157But the boy, where''s he to sleep?"
8157But there is no ill- feeling?...
8157But was she not of the same flesh and blood as they?
8157But what about this gentleman?"
8157But what could she do?
8157But what could she do?
8157But what did''e say about the Cambridgeshire?"
8157But what do you want to know for?
8157But what excuse could she give to Lady Elwin, who had rescued her from Mrs. Dunbar and got her the place of kitchen- maid at Woodview?
8157But what excuse could she give?
8157But what good?
8157But what was the good of taking the place?
8157But what were such sufferings compared to those she would endure were she to return home?
8157But which way are you going?
8157But who''s to baptise the little angels?"
8157But why should you bother, and you nearly seven months gone?
8157But would she be able to go undetected for nearly three whole months, until her next wages came due?
8157But you''ll not tell him that I asked you?"
8157But you''re that religious, I suppose you would n''t come?"
8157But, Esther, do n''t keep me in suspense; what has he done?"
8157But, Esther, do you feel your sin, can you truly say honestly before God that you repent?"
8157But, instead, he turned suddenly to Mrs. Lewis and said--"The cakes are n''t burnt, are they?
8157But, then, what about the wages of them who was to have cleared the gardens for us?"
8157But,"he said, drawing away so that he might see her better,"what do you say if I ask something of you?"
8157By what right, by what law, was she separated from her child?
8157Ca n''t yer''old him?
8157Ca n''t you lay''ands on''is father, some''ow?"
8157Ca n''t you remember?"
8157Can I give him any message?"
8157Can it be the girl''as lost her sitooation-- got the sack?
8157Can you take castor- oil?"
8157Can you take physic?"
8157Come now, come now, who are yer getting at?
8157Come, what is it?
8157Come, what''ll you have to drink, Teddy?"
8157Coming back to Esther, he said--"What do you think of the place?
8157Coming forward, Sarah said--"I hope we shall part friends, Esther; any quarrels we may have had-- There''s no ill- feeling now, is there?"
8157Cosy, ai n''t it?"
8157Could this be Fred?
8157Dead a long time?"
8157Did I strike him?
8157Did any one ever see such a mass of weed and briar?
8157Did he say the City and Sub.?"
8157Did n''t they used to get the flesh off him in a Turkish bath?
8157Did n''t you and''e''ave a tussle together at the end of dinner-- the first day you come down from town?"
8157Did she run second?
8157Did she say she was?"
8157Did she suffer?"
8157Did that one go to Newmarket, or the other?
8157Did they win any races?
8157Did you ever really care for a man?"
8157Did you ever see such rags?
8157Did you hear that poor girl say with surprise that her cough is no better than it was last Christmas?"
8157Did you know the passer- by?"
8157Did you lose your temper and answer her back?
8157Do I count for nothing?
8157Do n''t yer''ear what I''m saying?"
8157Do n''t you ever go out with father in London?
8157Do n''t you hear a voice talking there, a soft, low voice, with a bit of a jeer in it?"
8157Do n''t you like me?
8157Do n''t you think so?"
8157Do n''t you, Demon?"
8157Do they say he''ll win?"
8157Do yer think he will?"
8157Do you care for him?"
8157Do you hear me?
8157Do you know East Dulwich?"
8157Do you know no one, mother, who could help us?"
8157Do you like it?"
8157Do you mind coming up Drury Lane?
8157Do you not see the shy figure of the Puritan maiden tripping through the gorse, hastening the hoofs of the squire''s cob?
8157Do you remember how we used to speak when we used to go for walks together, when you were in service in the Avondale road?
8157Do you see anything?"
8157Do you think a man should stop with his wife who''s been treated as I have been?"
8157Do you think that if all the favourites were to be beaten for a month, father would buy me one?"
8157Do you think we could?"
8157Do you understand?"
8157Do you''ear?
8157Does he ask to see him?"
8157Does that suit you?"
8157Drunk, what matter?
8157Eh, Jenny, would n''t yer like to go into service, like yer sister?
8157Esther answered him with a quick, angry glance, and addressing the barman, she said,"I''ll pay you to- morrow; that''ll do, I suppose?
8157Esther did not answer, and he said,"Why do n''t you answer, Esther?"
8157Esther hurried through her story, and when her mother questioned her regarding details she said--"Oh, mother, what does it matter?
8157Esther in trouble?
8157Esther laid her head on the pillow and closed her eyes...."I wonder if there''s any one going who you''d care for?"
8157Esther was looking at him, and he said,"You do n''t answer, Esther?"
8157Even if they paid her fare back to London, how was she to face her mother?
8157Eventually, one of her masters had got her into trouble, his wife had turned her out neck and crop, and what was she to do?
8157Father, was he kind to mother?"
8157Fifty pounds to ten shillings; should he stand it out or hedge some of it?
8157Got tired of service?
8157Grover looked at Sarah in astonishment, and her look clearly said,"Is everyone going to side with that little kitchen- maid?"
8157Had a good day?''
8157Had she done right in letting Jenny have the money-- her boy''s money?
8157Has n''t it been going on since the world began?
8157Has n''t she been confined yet?"
8157Have I ever refused you anything?"
8157Have n''t I told you how I found them the day I came up from Ascot?...
8157Have n''t I worked and slaved myself to death and gone about in rags?
8157Have n''t you done me enough mischief already?"
8157Have n''t you noticed it?"
8157Have you any money?"
8157Have you any place to go to?"
8157Have you come to be confined?"
8157Have you heard anything particular about old Ben?"
8157Have you lost your situation?"
8157He at least was innocent; why should he be deprived of his mother?
8157He did give it you, did n''t he, you old Woolgatherer?"
8157He heaved a deep sigh, and Esther said--"What is the good of talking of these things, weakening yourself for nothing?"
8157He knew all about the workhouse-- should she ask him what it was like?
8157He said--"Is your husband in?
8157He said--"You want to see the secretary?"
8157He sees me do it, and he cries out,''Now then, guts, what are you interfering with my dinner for?''
8157He tried to leave the room, and when his mother stopped him he said testily,"Well, what is it?
8157He unfortunately added,"Did you ever meet any one since that you cared for?"
8157He would n''t have ridden her quite that way himself; but then what was a steeplechase rider''s opinion worth regarding a flat race?
8157He would n''t mind if it was the Tinman, eh, Demon?"
8157How are you getting on, old woman-- is it nearly done?
8157How can they put down betting?
8157How could Jackie become their child?
8157How could one who had so much come to steal from one who had so little?
8157How could she, poor dear innocent lamb?
8157How could there be?
8157How could they be happy if he were not a God- fearing man?
8157How dare you?"
8157How did it all happen?"
8157How did she die?
8157How did you get on at Ascot?
8157How long are yer up for?
8157How long do you think they''ll give me?"
8157How many years ago?
8157How much are you going to ask?"
8157How much did he give you-- a new dress?"
8157How much do you think I''ll get?
8157How much is yer flannel?"
8157How much money have you?"
8157How much more misery shall I see come of it?"
8157How much would you take?"
8157How often had she found herself within sight of the workhouse?
8157How would it all end?
8157However am I to thank you for your kindness to my husband?''
8157I ca n''t say more, Esther, can I?
8157I cries out to one as''eartily as to another:''The old firm, the old firm, do n''t forget the old firm.... What can I do for you to- day, sir?''
8157I got drunk, did n''t I?
8157I have not shown myself cruel to you, have I?"
8157I hope nothing is the matter with Jackie?"
8157I hope you will always be a good girl, and never allow yourself to be led away; you promise me?"
8157I like the Fulham Road; it''s like a long village street, ai n''t it?"
8157I saw Jimmy White-- you remember Jim, the little fellow we used to call the Demon,''e that won the Stewards''Cup on Silver Braid?...
8157I should like it to be a boy-- is it?"
8157I suppose they do n''t matter?"
8157I suppose you are beginning to like her just as if she was your own?"
8157I suppose you do n''t want to see me again?"
8157I suppose you intended to return it to me?"
8157I think that Mahomet is sure to win the Great Ebor, do n''t you?"
8157I want no more of yer, do you''ear?"
8157I wo n''t have it, I tell you.... What do you mean by spying after me?
8157I wonder what you''d think of that?"
8157I''m a free woman; tell me,"she said, balancing herself with difficulty and staring at Esther with dull, fishy eyes,"tell me if I''m not a free woman?
8157I''ve always said so, have n''t I?
8157I''ve brought a letter from father--''ere it is; now, is that good enough for yer?"
8157I''ve heard so much since I was here, that really----""That really what?"
8157I''ve paid you everything I owe you?"
8157I''ve treated you badly, and it is to make up for the past as far as I can--""And how do you know that you are n''t doing harm by coming after me?"
8157If I could nurse it myself----""Why could n''t you, ma''am?
8157If a war was to break out to- morrow, what should I do?
8157If that was the lodge, what must the house be?
8157In the meantime the baby wants you, are you not going to her?"
8157Is a woman never to think of herself?
8157Is anything the matter?"
8157Is he after you still?"
8157Is he much about here?"
8157Is it a bad case?"
8157Is it all right?"
8157Is it he or I who pays you for his keep?
8157Is it likely I''d''ve missed it?"
8157Is it natural?
8157Is it not shocking?
8157Is n''t everything betting?
8157Is n''t it beautiful; ai n''t them words heavenly?"
8157Is n''t the air soft and warm?"
8157Is n''t the country lovely?
8157Is there anything more?"
8157It do n''t make no difference to her where she''s took, do it?"
8157It happened that it did, and Esther and William wondered who were the new people who were selling beer and whisky in the bar?
8157It looks pretty, do n''t you think?
8157It was on the last of these occasions that her father had taken her by the shoulders, saying----"No lodging- houses that want a slavey?
8157It would be like setting myself up against my husband''s business, and you do n''t think I ought to do that?
8157Jackie, dear, why do n''t you go to your father?"
8157Jim, come this way, will you?"
8157Jones?"
8157Just come up from the country-- a bit dusty, ai n''t I?"
8157Just tell me where do I come in?
8157Ketley?"
8157Latch find nothing for you to do in the scullery?"
8157Latch said my dress did n''t matter, but when one is poor and has n''t many dresses----""Are you short of clothes, then?"
8157Latch say?
8157Latch, you have seen a great deal of racing?"
8157Latch?"
8157Latch?...
8157Let me see it; is it a boy or a girl?"
8157Look''ere, do you know what book this is?
8157Looks better, do n''t it, than making toy dogs at three- and- sixpence the gross?"
8157May I ask who sent you?"
8157May I have a look?...
8157May I show you my boat?"
8157May I sit down?"
8157Mr. Blamy returned ten minutes after to say that there was quite a number of people in the bar; should he refuse to take their money?
8157Mrs. Barfield looked at the girl quickly, hesitated a moment, and then said--"And all this time-- how long is it?"
8157Mrs. Barfield said--"So you have n''t forgotten Woodview, Esther?"
8157Mrs. Jones might have left, then what would she do?
8157Mrs. Saunders stood looking at her, and Esther turned suddenly on the sofa and said----"What time is it, mother?"
8157Mummie, what did you break my boat for?"
8157Never would she be able to find her way back through that endless country; besides, she could not carry her box on her back.... What was she to do?
8157No offence, I hope, guv''nor?"
8157Not feeling up to it?"
8157Now what do''e say?
8157Now, in the name of God, tell us what do you want?"
8157Oftentimes she took my hand and said,''You are a good creature, Holmes, you must n''t think of leaving me; how should I get on without you?''
8157One day she said,''I suppose you are sorry you did n''t marry a servant?''
8157One with three sails, cutter- rigged, like that?"
8157Or perhaps you''d prefer to wait till supper?
8157Peggy?
8157Raising her hands to her eyes she said--"What time is it?"
8157Randal?"
8157Sarah''s face brightened perceptibly, and Esther said--"Have you backed him?''
8157Shall I blow the candle out?"
8157Shall I book it?"
8157Shall I go and fetch her?
8157She did not answer, and then he said,"You''ve not ceased to care for me?"
8157She is in a situation to- day, but on what security does she hold it?
8157She rarely answered him a yes or no, but would push past him, and if he forcibly barred the way she would say,"Let me go by, will you?
8157She went towards the door slowly, but a little cry from the cradle stopped her, and she said--"Come, nurse, what is it?
8157She would have to spend the night in the workhouse, and then?
8157She''s dead a long time now, I was just a- going to tell you----""Jenny, what do you mean?
8157Should he put a sovereign of his winnings on Silver Braid for the Chesterfield?
8157Should she answer him indifferently or say nothing?
8157Should she ask him?
8157Should she ever see her again?
8157Should she go home?...
8157Should she tell him that she wanted to marry Fred?
8157So I have to go, have I?
8157So I thought that I would come up''ere and tell my sister----""But, my good girl, what has all this got to do with me?
8157So he said he would marry you if he won his bet on the Leger?
8157So she said in her kind, musical, intimate manner,"Esther, I''m afraid you have some trouble on your mind; can I do anything for you?"
8157So she wants to stop''ere, do she?
8157So they have won you round to their way of thinking, have they?"
8157So you''d like to marry him, would you, my beauty?''
8157Spires?"
8157Steadying her thoughts with an effort, she said,"Why not go to the workhouse, only for the night?...
8157Suddenly he looked--"Is father coming back no more?"
8157Suppose he should n''t have won?"
8157Supposing later on Jackie were to reproach you?"
8157Supposing the same thing were to happen again?
8157Supposing----""Then do n''t you think, ma''am, there is repentance and forgiveness?
8157Surprised at Stack''s silence, Journeyman said--"Is there anything up?
8157Tell me what''s the matter with my baby?"
8157Tell me why you did that?"
8157Tell me, first, have you been to 78?"
8157Tell me, was it a peaceful death?
8157That''s your game, is it?"
8157The cab passed over a piece of asphalte, and he said--"Is Jack waiting for us?"
8157The men laughed, and then Stack said--"You know Bill Evans?
8157The missis is in a pretty temper, ai n''t she?"
8157The things you intend to bring with you, the baby clothes, are made up in a bundle, are n''t they?"
8157The weather had turned colder lately.... Was it a fire that was wanted?
8157The''orse did not win, did he?
8157Then fixing his eyes on the toes of his shoes he said somewhat abruptly, but confidentially--"Are you really my father?
8157Then getting off his father''s knee he picked up the toy, and coming back he said,"Could we mend the boat somehow?
8157Then he said,"It''s my''ealth that makes me irritable, dear; you are n''t angry, are you?"
8157Then his face took an expression of mixed fear and anger; and coming rapidly towards her, he said--"What are you doing here?"...
8157Then the betting that''s done at Tattersall''s and the Albert Club, what is the difference?
8157Then turning suddenly on her old friend, she said,"Who told you to let him have the child?...
8157Then what do you think they''re doing it for?"
8157Then what would they do?
8157Then, glancing suspiciously at Esther, whose breast was like a little cup, Mrs. Rivers said,"I hope you have plenty of milk?"
8157There is one----But what makes you look so cross, mummie dear?
8157There would be a butler, a footman, and a page; she would not mind the page-- but the butler and footman, what would they think?
8157There''s nothing between us; anything there ever was is all off long ago.... Are you going for a walk?"
8157They keeps a butler and a footman, do n''t they?
8157They walked on a little further, and Esther said,"What''s these places?
8157They were a great trouble to Mrs. Barfield-- I told you, mother, that she was one of ourselves, did n''t I?"
8157They wo n''t give me ten years, will they?"
8157Thomas?"
8157Two slices?"
8157Up for the day only?"
8157Up for the day?
8157Wait until you catch her out?"
8157Walk back to London?
8157Was he saying to himself,"I shall never, never see Piccadilly again"?
8157Was he very handsome?
8157Was it not she who had worked for him, brought him up?
8157Was n''t Soap- bubble third?"
8157Was n''t it you what asked me to tell you the story?"
8157Was she to die in the star- lit city, she and her child; and why should such cruelty happen to her more than to the next one?
8157Was there no hope?
8157Was this penniless drab doing it on purpose to annoy her?
8157Was this punishment for her wrong- doing?
8157We ca n''t see her go to prison, can we, Bill, without raising a finger to save her?"
8157We could not get on; what''s the use?
8157We was always good friends, Esther, was n''t we, though ye was n''t one of my own?"
8157Well, what about 27 in the Crescent?"
8157Well, will you come next Sunday?"
