53844Now, I wonder what that is for?"
53844Or are we faithful friends?"
53844Presently the Pumpkinhead asked:"What is that thing you are sitting on?"
53844So the boy called to the King:"are you all right, your majesty?"
53844Some of the girls screamed and ran back, but General Jinjur bravely stood her ground and said, reproachfully:"Why, how now?
53844Tell me, what shall we do with him?"
53844Tell me,"she demanded, turning to the trembling girl,"what is your name?"
53844Then he called out to the Pumpkinhead:"are you all right, Jack?"
53844Then he turned to the Scarecrow and asked:"Are your subjects happy and contented, my dear friend?"

53844What can I do for you?"
53844What did he say?"
53844What do you think?"
53844What does it all mean?
53844What have we got an interpreter for, if you break out in this rash way?"
53844What right have I to oppose her?"
53844When the Soldier had departed the Scarecrow said:"Wo n''t you take a chair while we are waiting?"
53844When the man reached the bank Tip asked:"Will you row us to the other side?"
53844Who is the Scarecrow?"
53844Who made you?"
53844Who will swallow the first pill?"
53844Why not use the money?"

53844[ Illustration]"I hope you are enjoying good health?"
53844[ Illustration]"Why do n''t you sit down?"
53844and who are your companions?"
53844cried Jinjur, in despair;"for how can our knitting- needles avail against the long spears and terrible swords of our foes?"
53844said the Tin Woodman, taking up the Scarecrow''s head and caressing it tenderly;"whoever could imagine you would come to this untimely end?"

54Are you not going to use my broom?"
54Are you willing to carry us through the air wherever we wish to go?"
54At this moment the Soldier with the Green Whiskers returned, and the Scarecrow asked: 99"By the way, who has conquered me?"
54But how does that knowledge help us?"
54But what is to become of the Scarecrow?"
54But what will His Majesty, the Scarecrow, do with him?"
54But where is the girl who owns the throne, and what is her name?"
54But you, I suppose, speak the language of the Pumpkinheads?"
54Ca n''t you see?"
54Did you know that?"
54Did you?"
54Do any of you know what a Woggle- Bug is?''
54Do n''t you know it''s a dangerous thing to conquer a city?"
54Do you think I''m deaf?"
54Does he know anything?"
54Does it not occur to you that I am several thousand times greater than any Woggle- Bug you ever saw before?
54Have n''t I got legs and feet, and are n''t they jointed?"
54Have you a heart?"
54Have you any errand, sir, in the Emerald City?"
54How came this creature alive?"
54I wonder if water is liable to spoil pumpkins?"
54Is n''t he a picture, though?"
54Is the Tin Woodman the Emperor of the Winkies?"
54Is this arrangement satisfactory?"
54It fits very nicely, does it not?"
54M.''stands for?"
54May I ask why you wish to conquer His Majesty the Scarecrow?"
54May I inquire who you are, and what is your business?"
54Now, I wonder what that is for?"
54OLD MOMBI PUTS JACK IN THE STABLE 23"What do you know?"
54Or are we faithful friends?"
54Presently the Pumpkinhead asked:"What is that thing you are sitting on?"
54So the boy called to the King"are you all right, your majesty?"
54Some of the girls screamed and ran back, but General Jinjur bravely stood her ground and said, reproachfully:"Why, how now?
54Tell me, what shall we do with him?"
54Tell me,"she demanded, turning to the trembling girl,"what is your name?"
54Then he called out to the Pumpkinhead:"are you all right, Jack?"
54Then he turned to the Scarecrow and asked:"Are your subjects happy and contented, my dear friend?"
54Then, after a pause, he asked:"Did you say a Tin Woodman rules the Winkies?"
54Then, casting a sharp look at the girl, he asked:"Are you quite certain you understand the languages of both the Gillikins and the Munchkins?"
54They surely do not complain of your wise and gracious rule?"
54Understand?"
54What can I do for you?"
54What did he say?"
54What do you think?"
54What does it all mean?
54What have we got an interpreter for, if you break out in this rash way?"
54What right have I to oppose her?"
54When the Soldier had departed the Scarecrow said:"Wo n''t you take a chair while we are waiting?"
54When the man reached the bank Tip asked:"Will you row us to the other side?"
54Who is the Scarecrow?"
54Who made you?"
54Who will swallow the first pill?"
54Why not use the money?"
54Will you hold the horse while I stick them on?"
54Would you shoot a poor, defenceless girl?"
54You''ve a mouth, have n''t you?"
54and who are your companions?"
54at the end of your name stands for?"
54cried Jinjur, in despair;"for how can our knitting- needles avail against the long spears and terrible swords of our foes?"
54rather unusual?"
54said the Tin Woodman, taking up the Scarecrow''s head and caressing it tenderly;"whoever could imagine you would come to this untimely end?"
13500''And who has told you all this, my child?'' 13500 ''What voices?''
13500''Who is your Lord, my child?'' 13500 And have you heard nought of the commotion going on there?"
13500And how have they of Domremy behaved themselves to her since?
13500And if I do, is that so strange? 13500 And then it was that my voices asked of me:''Jeanne, hast thou no fear?''
13500And what answer did the Seigneur de Baudricourt make to her?
13500And what thinks De Baudricourt of her mission? 13500 And your parents, what think they of this?
13500Are you he whom men call the Bastard of Orleans?
13500Are you not afraid, Jeanne,they asked,"of going into battle, of living so strange a life, of being the companion of the great men of the earth?"
13500Are you not pleased with them, my child?
13500Ay, if the good God will arise to work miracles again, such things might be; but how can we look for Him to do so? 13500 But what matter will that be, when the siege of Orleans shall be raised?"
13500But who has told you of this sword, my maiden?
13500Child, how dost thou know me?
13500Did he dream that? 13500 Did you doubt, Sire?"
13500Did your voices speak to you, mistress mine? 13500 Have they bidden you to go back-- to do no more for France?"
13500Have you a message from Him to me?
13500Have you good spurs, M. de Duc?
13500Have you seen the wonderful Maid of whom all the world is talking?
13500He gazed upon her full for awhile, and then he suddenly asked of her,''And when shall all these wonders come to pass?'' 13500 How can it be otherwise than for the best?"
13500How know you the thing of which you speak, girl?
13500How old are you, fair maiden?
13500How will it end, my General, how will it end?
13500I trow she did,he answered,"but think you that the ribald jests of mortal men can touch one of the angels of God?
13500If then the Lord be with us, must we not show ourselves worthy of His holy presence in our midst? 13500 If then, Maiden, you can thus read the future, tell me, shall I recover me of this sickness?"
13500If this be so; if, indeed, the Dauphin shall be made King, what matters that I be taken away? 13500 If we believe in the power of the good God, shall we not also believe that He can work even miracles at His holy will?"
13500In broad daylight, lady, and before the very eyes of the foe?
13500It is no matter,answered the Maid, with shining eyes;"is it anything to my Lord whether He overcomes by many or by few?
13500It was even as she said?
13500Jeanne-- fairest maiden-- what do you see?
13500My daughter,spoke the Abbe gravely,"have you security in your heart that the visions and voices sent to you come of good and not of evil?
13500Nay, gentle Dauphin, but that will not be,she said;"One shall increase, another shall decrease-- hath it not ever been so?
13500O my father, have you no word for me? 13500 Shall I be believed?"
13500Shall I be believed?
13500She desires speech with me? 13500 She was beautiful, you say?"
13500Sire,she faltered-- and anything like uncertainty in that voice was something new to us--"of what victories do you speak?
13500Sweet Chevaliere,he would say, calling her by one of the names which circulated through the Court,"why such haste?
13500Then has she indeed wedded?
13500Then you believe in her?
13500Truly that is so, my father; but is it not also written that those who put their trust in the Lord shall never be confounded?
13500Was that all he promised?
13500Well, and what make you of the girl? 13500 Went ye into the town today?"
13500What are you doing here, ma mie? 13500 What day will that be-- the day after to- morrow?"
13500What is it?
13500Which way are their faces?
13500Why should I tell this to the Seigneur de Baudricourt?
13500Why, Maiden, of what speak you?
13500Will not your Lord help you yet? 13500 Yet how could it be otherwise, my General, when the soldiers will follow you alone?--when all look to you as their champion and their friend?"
13500You fear not, then, to disobey your parents?
13500You would not go to mock, friend Jean de Metz?
13500A creature of earth or of heaven?"
13500Ah!--where had the Maid learned her skill in any kind of warfare?
13500And are you not sure in your heart that the cause of the French King will yet triumph?"
13500And even so not with all our heart and strength?"
13500And how could it be saved if nothing could rouse the King from his slothful indifference?
13500And how did we come upon them at last?
13500And if that city once fall, why what hope is there even for such remnants of his kingdom as still remain faithful south of the Loire?
13500And is it meet that we Christian knights should trust Him less than did the Jews of old?"
13500And is it wonderful that it should be so?
13500And must not the soldier be obedient above all others?
13500And now, what did we see?
13500And shall His will be set aside?
13500And should we seek to put the message aside as a thing of nought?
13500And the battle?
13500And was it wonder?
13500And was that word lacking?
13500And what is this I hear?
13500And where is she now?
13500And wherefore not now?
13500And yet who would have thought it possible three months ago?
13500And, look you, what hath she done to the English?
13500Are we not vowed to His service?
13500Are you well assured in your heart that you are not thus deceived and led away by whispers and suggestions from the father of lies?"
13500Ay, verily, and has it not been so?
13500But again, had not the Maid ever prevailed in battle over her foes?
13500But as for those other words of yours-- what did you mean by them?
13500But could it indeed be possible that such a miracle could be wrought, and by an instrument so humble as a village maid-- this Jeanne d''Arc?
13500But then his mind did change, and he said to me,''Are you noble?''
13500But wherefore have I been led hither by this bank, instead of the one upon which Talbot and his English lie?"
13500But yet why should we fear?
13500Can I look to receive the same protection as before?
13500Can any man pass through such experiences as mine, and not receive a wound which time can never wholly heal?
13500Can you think that the mind of the Lord has changed towards me and towards France?
13500Could you believe such folly, such treachery?"
13500Did not the cake of barley bread overturn the tent and the camp of the foe?"
13500Did not the three hundred with Gideon overcome the hosts of the Moabites?
13500Did she not give her daughter to the English King in wedlock, that their child might reign over this fair realm?
13500Did she not repudiate her own son?
13500Did they understand how much depended upon the rescue of the devoted town?
13500Did we doubt her ability, wounded as she was, to lead us?
13500Do I not well to be angry?"
13500Do not all men trust in you?
13500Do they think her a mere beautiful image, to ride before them and carry a white banner to affright the foe?
13500Does he ever speak of it?"
13500For had not rumours reached the city many times that day of the death of the Deliverer in the hour of victory?
13500Great God, but how would it be with our Maid when the real battle and bloodshed should begin?
13500Had I not in some sort been witness to a miracle?
13500Had I not seen how she was visited by sound or sight not sensible to those around her?
13500Had not something very like a miracle been wrought?
13500Had we not been asking this from the first?
13500Half confounded by her words I asked:"Who is your Lord?"
13500Hath He not said before this that He doth take of the mean and humble to confound the great of the earth?
13500Hath Orleans fallen into the hands of the English?"
13500Have I not ever been ready and longing to lead them against the foe?"
13500Have they not fought again and again, and what has come of it but loss and defeat?
13500Have you not yet forgiven your little Jeanne?
13500Her clear, ringing tones would ask the question:"Shall we, who go forward in the name of the Lord, dare to take His holy name lightly upon our lips?
13500How can I do this if you turn back, and take with you the hearts of my men?"
13500How can I tell of our entry into Rheims?
13500How can I think of it?
13500How can my poor pen describe the wonders of the great scene, of which I was a spectator upon that day?
13500How can she consort with princes and with peasants?"
13500How can she hope to rise?"
13500How can the servant be greater than his Lord?"
13500How can you witness the joy of a distant village, when you will be leading forward the armies of France to fresh victories?"
13500How could I dare question such a being as to her visions?
13500How could we expect it to be otherwise if the presence of the Maid were withdrawn?
13500How could we hope to lead on the armies to fresh victories, if the soldiers were told that the Maid would no longer march with them?
13500How long is this to continue, Robert de Baudricourt?"
13500How shall I describe the sight which greeted our eyes in the gathering dusk, as we looked towards the city?
13500How shall I tell of the sight I beheld?
13500How should she be, indeed, who was looking forward with impatience to her appearance at the Court of an uncrowned King?
13500How then could I refuse to do it?"
13500How would De Baudricourt take it?
13500How would she bear this contradiction and veiled contempt, she who had come to assume the command of the city and its armies at the King''s desire?
13500How would the Maid bear it?
13500I lowered my voice to a whisper as I said:"You mean the fear lest he was not the true son of the King?"
13500I made it my task to see her safely home; and as we went, I asked:"Was it an offence to you, fair Maid, that he should thus seek to test and try you?"
13500If a queen-- if an angel-- if a saint from heaven stood in stately calm and dignity before one''s eyes, how could we think of the raiment worn?
13500If she be a mad woman, why should I be troubled with her?
13500If she can not face a score of simple country nobles here, how can she present herself at Chinon?
13500If the Maid who comes from the King of Heaven puts that name upon him, need he fear to take it for his own?"
13500If the visions of the maiden had been true, why doth not the Lord strike now, before Salisbury of England can invest the city?
13500Is His arm shortened at all, that He should not fulfil that which He has promised?
13500Is His arm shortened at all?
13500Is it against the towers I must go, to assail them?
13500Is it boy, or angel, or what?
13500Is it not always so when the Lord uses one of His children?
13500Is it not right that I should listen to them as well as to you?
13500Is it not time that you should rest and take your ease after your many and arduous toils?
13500Is it not wiser to act with deliberation and prudence?"
13500Is it some disaster?
13500Is it the same, Bertrand, of whom you did speak upon the day we parted company?"
13500Is she still abiding content at home, awaiting the time appointed by her visions?"
13500Is she witch, or mad, or possessed by some spirit of vainglory and ambition?
13500Is that agreed?
13500Is that not enough?"
13500It is well that we may not read the future, else how could we bear the burden of life?
13500Know you not how near you stand to death this night?
13500Little Charlotte here pulled the Maid by the hand, crying out:"What are you saying?
13500Many men, by their gorgeous raiment, might well be the greatest one present; but how to tell?
13500Many must be slain ere we can call it ours, but will you follow and take it?"
13500Might she not laugh to scorn all such threats?
13500Must not it be of heaven, this thing?
13500My heart sank strangely within me, for had I not learned to know how truly the Maid did read that which the future hid from our eyes?
13500Need I say more?
13500Need such a question be asked of the Maid?
13500O my father, can you doubt that I was sent of them for this work?
13500O, was it not wonderful?
13500Oh, how can I write of it?
13500One Dominican monk sought to perplex her by asking why, since God had willed that France should be delivered through her, she had need of armed men?
13500Or is it that Fastolffe comes against us with yet another host?"
13500Other places had fallen before the victorious Maid, and why not this?
13500Pray what hath befallen, good sir?
13500Shall I ever forget that evening?
13500Shall I ever forget the thunder of applause which fell upon our ears as we passed into the city through the bridge?
13500Shall I take upon me that which my Lord puts not upon me-- whether it be honour or toil or pain?"
13500Shall we mock Him by calling ourselves His followers, and yet doing that without a thought which He hath forbidden?"
13500Shall we not seek to obey Him?
13500Shall we, His children, hang back and thwart Him, just in the hour when He has put the victory in our hands?
13500She, whom I have seen riding beside the King?
13500Sir Guy de Laval looked full in our faces as he spoke these words, and what could one reply?
13500Sir Guy made no reply, but fell into thought, and then asked a sudden question:"Who is this peasant maid of whom you speak?
13500Surely she did not think to leave us just in the hour of her supreme triumph?
13500Tell me who and what is she?
13500That name as applied to the Angelic Maid set our teeth on edge; yet was it wonderful that some should so regard her?
13500Then wherefore not do His will and march to the appointed spot?
13500They had infinite confidence in the Maid as a leader against stone walls, for had they not seen her take tower after tower, city after city?
13500To whom do you speak?
13500Was Orleans to fall next into the greedy maw of the English adventurers?
13500Was Paris in the King''s hands in less than seven years?
13500Was any project of relief on foot amongst the Dauphin''s soldiers?
13500Was ever courage like hers?
13500Was it for us to approach and ask of her what had been thus revealed?
13500Was it indeed a city of stone and wood which shone before us in the level rays of the sinking sun?
13500Was it not already threatened?
13500Was it not likely he would fear she might speak truth?
13500Was it possible that her Lord was about to take her from us, her task yet unfulfilled?
13500Was it treachery?
13500Was it wonder that the people believed in her?
13500Was it wonderful that every house should seek to hang out a white banner in honour of the Angelic Maid, and her pure whiteness of soul and body?
13500Was it wonderful they should hunger for her presence amongst them?
13500Was she dreaming?
13500Was she sad or pensive then?
13500Was there an instant''s hesitation?
13500We are to attack the foe upon the south?
13500Were the English driven from France in less than twenty?
13500What are His own words?
13500What can a peasant maid know of the art of war?
13500What could he be speaking of?
13500What did it mean?
13500What did she mean by these words?--this Heaven- sent Maid to whom we owed so much?
13500What did those last words signify-- when hitherto all she had spoken was of deliverance, of victory?
13500What future is there for hapless France?
13500What has she said to you, and what think you of her?"
13500What have I to do with the friends of royalty?
13500What looked she like?--and what said she?"
13500What madness would she next propose?
13500What manner of man is the Dauphin of France that he should look for divine deliverance?
13500What matter who shall fall ere the task be accomplished-- so that it be done according to the mind of the Lord?"
13500What matter whose the work, or whose the triumph?
13500What need have they of other leader?
13500What said she to that counsel?"
13500What said they when you bid them farewell for such an errand?"
13500What think you of it yourself, good Bertrand?
13500What was the condition of the garrison?
13500What was the disposition of the beleaguering force?
13500What were the armies of England doing?
13500What would even St. Louis of blessed memory feel, could he witness the changes wrought by only a century and a half?
13500What would the great Charlemagne say, could he see us now?
13500When I spoke to one grizzled old soldier about it, he shrugged his shoulders and made reply:"What would you?
13500When she left the room I followed her at her sign, and asked:"Then you go not forth to battle today, General?"
13500When will they believe?"
13500When will they understand?
13500Where was the weakness, the feebleness, the faintness of the wounded girl?
13500Wherefore should I not be their friend and sister still?"
13500Wherefore such haste?
13500Who believes in miracles now?"
13500Who but that wicked Queen Isabeau is at the bottom of the disgraceful Treaty of Troyes, wherein France sold herself into the hands of the English?
13500Who can it be?"
13500Why must he adventure himself again into danger?
13500Will not that be enough?"
13500Will not the soldiers fight for and with you?
13500Will you cease to hear and to obey?"
13500Will you undertake a mission from me to this maiden?
13500Would they speak thus of the Blessed Virgin?
13500Would you neglect to hear her cry to you in the hour of her need?
13500Yet was there something ironical in the very humility of some?
13500Yet what has been the truth?
13500Yet who dare say that she did not see and did not rejoice even then?
13500You have done all these great things for me; what am I to do in return for you?"
13500You may ask, are they of the Devil?
13500You they will follow to a man; but will they follow others when they know that you have deserted them?
13500asked De Baudricourt,''and have you naught but voices to instruct you in such great matters?''
13500cried Bertrand hotly;"you say the city is not so closely blockaded but that with care and caution men may get in or out?
13500cried Sir Guy, as he gazed at Bertrand with a look betwixt laughter and amaze,"and what said your worshipful uncle to that same message?"
13500he answered;"is not this jewelled weapon good enough?
13500he cried in dismay;"then shall we fly before them?"
13500she cried( how did she know?
13500she whispered,"but why did he not heed the warning?"
13500that they would have been ready to tear in pieces any who durst contemn her mission, or declare her possessed of evil spirits?
13500they ask, and how can she command troops and lead them on to victory, where veterans have failed again and again?
