11376Mr. BRADLAUGH: Would your lordship entertain an application to stay execution of the sentence? 11376 Mr. JUSTICE MELLOR: You will abstain yourself from circulating the book, and, so far as you can, suppress its circulation?
11376So much for the past: what as to the future? 11376 The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE: And what Mr. Bradlaugh says, I understand that you, Mrs. Besant, also assent to?
11376The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE: You will not continue the publication? 11376 The question is,"he urged,"what is to be the future course of your conduct?
11376Well?
11376What do you mean by that expression, Annie?
11376What do you think of John Bright?
11376What is that?
11376Why did she leave the dead child on the bed? 11376 A lady appear in person? 11376 And you walked in the lanes for an hour and saw nothing, little No- eyes? 11376 Are we the sentient toys of an Almighty Power, who sports with our agony, and whose peals of awful mocking laughter echo the wailings of our despair?
11376At last I said to Mr. Scott:"Mr. Scott, may I write a tract on the nature and existence of God?"
11376Besant?".
11376But what if God were only man''s own image reflected in the mirror of man''s mind?
11376But, I questioned, are we sure that there is a Creator?
11376By the way, why are Temperance Hotels so often lacking in cleanliness?
11376Could any argument more thoroughly Atheistic be put before a mind which dared to think out to the logical end any train of thought?
11376Did not the Lord promise that the presence of the Spirit should be ever with his Church, to guide her into all truth?"
11376Does the lady really appear in person?"
11376Given a just God, how can he punish people for being sinful, when they have inherited a sinful nature without their own choice and of necessity?
11376Granted that, if there is, he must be above his highest creature, but-- is there such a being?
11376He believed in Christ as God; what if I put my difficulties to him?
11376He glanced at me keenly:"Ah, little lady; you are facing then that problem at last?
11376How could I do aught but sympathise with any combination that aimed at the raising of these poor?
11376How would an indictment for publishing an obscene book affect his candidature for Northampton?
11376I felt as though it must be a crime to refuse submission when she urged it, but still-- to live a lie?
11376If the leaders flinched how could the followers be expected to fight?
11376In October he had printed a plea for Ireland, strong and earnest, asking:--"Where is our boasted English freedom when you cross to Kingstown pier?
11376Irish family that did not trace itself back to some"kings"?
11376Is such training wise?
11376Mr. Besant had brought him to me while the child was at her worst, and I suppose something of the"Why is it?"
11376Mr. Bradlaugh is rather a rough sort of speaker, is he not?"
11376Now, what says Dr. Knowlton?
11376One night only I spent in this struggle over the question:"Shall I examine the claims to Deity of Jesus of Nazareth?".
11376Q.C., that I appeared in person:"Appear in person?
11376So, queer as it may seem?
11376That gentlemen did not disagree with it-- indeed he admitted that all educated persons must hold the views put forward-- but what would Society say?
11376The same bad adviser who had before raised the difficulty of"what will Society say?"
11376This principle, regarded by her as an illustration of the text,"Shall I give unto the Lord my God that which has cost me nothing?"
11376Was it a ball to which we were going?
11376Were these also to be resigned?
11376What are positive checks?
11376What has she done that she should suffer so?
11376What if man were the creator, not the revelation of his God?
11376What were we to do about the Knowlton pamphlet?
11376What will she be at a year''s end?
11376Where has it been for near two years?
11376Wherein is our sister Ireland less than these?
11376Why dost thou not kill her at once, and let her be at peace?"
11376Why?
11376Why?
11376You will have discovered by this time, in Maurice''s''What is Revelation''( I suppose you have the''Sequel''too?)
11376and the grave demand of my brother, conscious of superior age, at dinner- time:"May not Annie have a knife to- day, as she is four years old?"
11376who inherit the diseases and adopt the crimes which poverty and misery have provided for them?
354Are n''t you ashamed of yourself,she demanded,"to stop just because you have been laughed at once?
354Are you going to pretend,he demanded,"that it was n''t a put- up job?"
354But how can I promise that?
354But why in Heaven''s name does any sensible Englishwoman want a lot of heathen to prostrate themselves as she goes up the street?
354But why?
354But,I insisted,"if you really believe in polygamy, why is it that some of your husbands have not taken more than one wife?"
354Do n''t you know what a right bower is?
354Do you want me to repeat my promise?
354Have n''t I done any good?
354Have you ever tried?
354Her sermon?
354Hev you got anything agin Miss Shaw?
354How did you get here so soon?
354How far up and down?
354How many of you,I then asked,"are polygamous wives?"
354Oh, did you?
354Oh,he said,"why should I go?
354Say, Miss Shaw,he yelled,"do n''t you want these children put out?"
354Suppose your husband should refuse to allow you to preach? 354 Then may I tell him?"
354Think she''s right, do you?
354To New York?
354Was n''t he very much surprised,demanded Miss Anthony, with growing interest,"to discover that he was not dead?"
354Well,I said,"ca n''t you put your finger on that?"
354What d''ye mean?
354What has happened, Anna?
354What must they think of me?
354What''s that?
354What''s the matter with you?
354What?
354When your aura goes visiting in the other world,she asked, curiously,"does it ever meet your old friend Charles Bradlaugh?"
354Why should they mob me?
354Why, did n''t you whistle before her?
354Why, in that case,she said, cheerfully,"you''ll have to give us two boxes, wo n''t you?"
354Will you agree to arrest the men only?
354Would n''t I?
354Would you like to have a son of yours go to Buffalo Bill''s Wild West Show on Sunday?
354You are proud of your family, are you not?
354You are proud of your great line?
354You think you know me, do n''t you?
354You''re not saying that merely to please me?
354A few of them could sing, and we began with a Moody and Sankey hymn or two and the appealing ditty,"Where is my wandering boy to- night?"
354And do n''t you see how ill she is?
354And he demanded, triumphantly,"How is it possible for you to be the husband of a wife?"
354And she added, scornfully,"What event have you got to reckon from?"
354Anthony?"
354But I added:"I hear you said I have n''t done a thing in seven years that any one can lay a finger on?"
354Could she not select one more person, at least, to share the secret and act with me?
354Do you all believe in it?"
354Do you think I want to talk to you?"
354Has that been charged against any other minister here?"
354How can I preach to any one?"
354I asked,"Can the Ethiopian change his spots or the leopard his skin?"
354I had worked my way in the Northwest; why could I not work my way in Boston?
354I was touched by this artless compliment, and anxious to know how I had won it, so I asked,"What did I say that the boys liked?"
354In the old days, when we nominated a candidate we asked,''Can he hold the saloon vote?''
354Is it the desire of suffragists to force upon us the social equality of black and white women?
354Is that it?"
354Livermore''s husband''?"
354Moreover, if it is unnatural, why did Jesus send a woman out as the first preacher?"
354Now we ask,''Can he hold the women''s vote?''
354One day at luncheon Miss Thomas asked me, casually:"By the way, how do you raise the money to carry on your work?"
354Shall I bring some books and read to you?"
354She listened to his words with surprise, and then whispered to"Aunt Susan":"How CAN he say that?
354So I arose and said:"I would like to ask how many men there are in the audience who intend to vote for the amendment to- morrow?"
354Was there, perhaps, some lack in me and in my courage?
354What had I said to give him such an impression?
354What have you got there?"
354What then?"
354What was I doing in that rough country, he demanded, and why was I alone with him in those black woods at night?
354What was he doing in the other world?"
354What would you do to me if I came on board your ship and started a mutiny in your crew, or tried to give you orders?"
354What, then, were we to do?
354When this announcement had produced its full effect, he straightened up in his chair and asked, solemnly,"Will ye have me?"
354When will men learn that what we ask is not praise, but justice?"
354Where DID you get that subject?
354Who knows?
354Why should we not talk all night?
354Why, then, do n''t they deserve as much credit for his election as the women?"
7833And where are the children?
7833And why is this meetin''any more onwomanly or immodest than the camp- meetin''where you wuz converted, and baptized the next Sunday in the creek?
7833Be changed? 7833 Do you allude to our venerable speaker, Joe Cannon?"
7833Do_ they_ know enough to vote?
7833How would you put the objection?
7833In jail? 7833 Indignant about what?"
7833Is it not a part of woman''s life that she gave at the birth and crucifixion? 7833 Joseph?"
7833Let?
7833Pardon me, madam, but if you are happy in your married relations, and your husband is a temperate good man, why do you feel so upon this subject?
7833Serepta Pester,sez I,"be you tellin''the truth?"
7833The what?
7833Then,sez I,"why do n''t you make the United States do right?"
7833Well,sez I,"do you think the weather is goin''to moderate?"
7833What?
7833When are you goin''?
7833Who is Josiah?
7833Why should you be dyin''on the buttery shelf, Josiah?
7833Why, where is their property gone?
7833Why,sez I,"did they invite you?
7833You look very fatigued; wo n''t you take something?
7833And I hung back and asked her in a cautious tone,"How many she wanted canvassed, and how much canvas it would take?"
7833And I stopped his complaints and his sithes by askin''in a voice that demanded a reply:"Can you and will you do Serepta''s errents?
7833And he sez to me, real uppish,"Do you think them things know enough to vote?"
7833And is her throne more shaky and tottlin''than theirn?"
7833And sez I, in low but startlin''tones of principle:"Where, where is it a- drawin''''em to?
7833And then thinkin''I must say sunthin''and wantin''to strike a safe subject and a good lookin''one, I sez:"Where is your Aunt Cassandra''s girl?
7833And then to git her mind offen her sufferin''s, I asked how her sister Azuba wuz gittin''along?
7833And when he asked me agin in tones full of awe and horrow:"Can it be that I heard my ear aright?
7833And will you break the Whiskey Ring?"
7833And would they do this if they did n''t think that their vile trades would suffer if women had the right to vote?
7833And you can then throw your other eye over to Holland: is their sweet queen less worthy and beloved to- day than other European monarchs?
7833Anthony?"
7833But here an old man, who had jest dropped in and who wuz kinder deef and slow- witted, asked,"What it is about anyway?
7833But thinkin''I must be sociable I sez:"Your aunt Cassandra is well, I spoze?"
7833Change the laws of the United States?
7833Do n''t you remember what one on''em writ to Uncle Sime Bentley and what he writ back?
7833Errents full of truth and justice and eternal right?"
7833God Himself called woman into that work, the divine work of saving a world, and why should n''t she continue in it?
7833Hain''t they never been changed?"
7833Have you a leanin''toward Natural history, madam?
7833Have you ever read the Bible?"
7833Have you ever studied into the habits and traits of our American Wad?"
7833How can she fly when the weight of this infamous traffic is holdin''her down?"
7833How would it work to stop the trouble by givin''the wimmen the rights they ask for, the rights of any other citizen?"
7833I see you do not wear your lovely hair bang- like or a- pompadouris?
7833I sez in pityin''tones, for I wuz truly sorry for Cassandra Keeler:"How did it end?"
7833Is it drawin''''em down into a slavery ten times more abject and soul- destroyin''than African slavery ever wuz?
7833Let me treat you to something; what will you take, mom?"
7833Or did you speak of changin''the unalterable laws of the United States-- tampering with the Constitution?"
7833Search the records and you''ll find it so, and why?
7833Sez I,"Ca n''t the laws be changed?"
7833Sez I,"Do you mean waddin''eight cents a sheet?"
7833Sez I,"How duz it look before the nations to see Columbia led round half- tipsy by a Ring?"
7833Sez I,"Where is Senator B.?"
7833Sez I,"Who is the man or men?"
7833Sez Josiah:"Does that_ thing_ know enough to vote?"
7833Silence rained for some time; and finally I spoke out solemnly through the rain:"Will you do Serepta''s errents?
7833That pretty girl I see to your house once?"
7833These, mingled with the divine, the pure heavenly, have they not for nineteen hundred years been blessin''the world?
7833They had seen their wives in the past chasin''Fashion and Amusement, and why should n''t they enjoy seein''them follow Principle and Justice?
7833Was not Mr. Herod once in the United States Senate?"
7833Was the rain of Victoria the Good less peaceful and prosperous than that of the male rulers who preceded her?
7833Where is it drawin''the hull nation to?
7833Who ever hearn of a angel foldin''up her wings and goin''to a poor- house or jail through the fault of somebody else?
7833Who ever hearn of a angel havin''to take in washin''to support a drunken son or father or husband?
7833Who wants to see her old bones?"
7833Why ca n''t women stay to home and set down and knit?
7833Will you give her her rights?
7833Wo n''t you take something?
7833You are not a member?"
7833[ Illustration:"Sez Josiah,''Does that thing know enough to vote?''"]
7833and tend to its picnics and suppers, and take care of the children?
7833sez I,"what do you mean?"
7833what could Justice do blind in one eye and wimmen on the blind side?
7833what do the wimmen ask for when they are pounded and jailed and starved?"
59283How did Bill like that, Simon?
59283How do you make that out?
59283Is it possible?
59283No,sez Uncle Sime,"she wuz always good natered and dressed pretty, and why should n''t she?"
59283Yes, indeed, and why ca n''t females settle down in matrimony and stay to home with their famblys, and take care of their children?
59283Yes,sez Samantha reasonably,"a happy marriage is, I guess, about as nigh Heaven as folks ever git on earth, but how many do you find, Josiah?"
59283You do know, do n''t you, dear Samantha, that it has always been men''s chief aim and desire to protect the weaker inferior sect?
59283A rustic had broke down his team, I mused almost in tears, How can a yoke be borne along By half a pair of steers?
59283And I told him the first we knew a female would snake a man up to the altar, and the minister would be made to say, Who giveth this man to this woman?
59283And after he went out with''em I asked Samantha,"What do you spoze the Vice President wanted of sheep shears this time of year?"
59283And how could she soothe and comfort anybody droudgin''round as she had all day and all wore out?
59283And how much blood money is made yearly by whiskey sellin''?
59283And if a grocer lets his eatin''stuff lay round outdoors for the flies to roost on, do you spoze they''ll buy that stuff?
59283And she sez,"Why ca n''t they do both?
59283And the appaulin''thought come to me onbid, if she did who would finish up the dinner?
59283And what duz E Pluribus Unum mean?
59283And when the minister asked,"Who giveth this woman to this man?"
59283And which party is it, Josiah, that turns and twists every way to save money so her boy and girl can present a decent appearance before her mates?
59283And why should n''t she dress pretty?
59283Anon Betsy turned to her and sez,"Josiah Allen''s wife, will you not help plead with him in the name of a strugglin''sister woman?"
59283As she made that damagin''insertion agin, is it any wonder that the plough of my manly judgment struck fire from her rocky obstinacy?
59283But did I hear her say this?
59283But what of it, what had that got to do with my great work that wuz seethin''through my brain?
59283But''tennyrate she refused outright to soothe and comfort him, and if that hain''t a wife''s duty what is?
59283Do you spoze that pa would stood it havin''a wife that acted as if she knew as much as he did?
59283Do you think,"sez I anxiously,"that it will clog and weigh it down too much?"
59283Even Condelick Henzy wuz took back and browbeat and sez mekanically,"What do you spoze they wuz goin''to do with the kettle?"
59283Everybody would know that young Smith had a mother somewhere in the background, but what''s the use of bringin''her forward so and makin''on her?
59283For as Uncle Sime sez,"What man is square in public life?
59283For how can you curb in a outraged and high sperited nature when it is fully rousted up, and aggravation has gone too fur?
59283For what connection, I ask, is there between the finest fruit in literature, and hens?
59283Hain''t the eagle a male bird?
59283Happier?
59283Have you got a crick?"
59283He wuz always boastin''about men''s courtesy and chivalry, and how did it come out?"
59283How could I grant her request without sinkin''down to the low female level?
59283How is it told on now?
59283How many billions a year duz the useless extravagance of tobacco cost?
59283How many millions a year duz the horse races, yot races and polo games and other manly amusements amount to?
59283How would she felt if she had n''t been made?
59283If wimmen do n''t need a man to protect her and take care on her, why is she so much more ignorant of sin and depravity?
59283Is there any limit to a female''s aggravatin''?
59283Now if a smart hustlin''saloon keeper is nominated for some high office and wimmen could vote, what would be the consequence?
59283Oh, what would Bill''s great- grandma thought on''t?
59283Or carry a vanity bag?"
59283STANZAS ON DUTY_ By Betsy Bobbett_ Unless they do their duty see Oh who would spread their sail On matrimony''s cruel sea And face its angry gale?
59283Samantha counted"two and two"to herself, and then said in a mild axent,"Why would a bad woman''s vote be worse than a bad man''s?"
59283Sez I so scathin''ly that it seemed as if she must show signs of scorchin'',"Did you ever see a man wear a cosset?
59283Sez I,"Do you ever pause to think, Samantha, of the inestimable boon wimmen owe to men?
59283Sez I,"Hain''t that a solemn proof, Samantha, that females are inferior and wuzn''t considered worth writin''about?"
59283Sez I,"Samantha, do n''t you believe this forthcomin''book of mine is goin''to be the greatest work of this age, or any age?"
59283Sez I,"What do you think, Samantha, about my great projeck of destroyin''female suffrage?
59283Sez I,"Would you honor Betsy by lettin''her put some of her verses in my great volume?
59283Sez Samantha,"I admit there are beautiful instances of men protectin''and guardin''wimmen, but how wuz it with Fez Lanfear?
59283Shall females be dragged to the altar, And down their freedom lay?
59283Shall horses calmly brook a halter Who over fenceless pastures stray?
59283What do you think of my writin''the book?"
59283What do you think of that, Simon?"
59283What is more affectin''than to see how Betsy tried to hide her lifelong pursuit of man, and matrimony, under the cold word,_ duty_?
59283What jinin''link is there between the most scathin''and convincin''arguments ever writ by mortal man, and eggs?
59283What would be the effect on Samantha?
59283What wuz my duty in the matter?
59283What wuz the use of draggin''a female''s initional into it?
59283What''s the use on''t?
59283Where is the good horse sense on''t?
59283Where would they been then, and where would they be to- day?"
59283Who ever hearn a man purr?
59283Who wuz fascinated by it?
59283Why is there five times more men in prisons and penitentiaries than there is wimmen, if they knowed as much about crime as men do?
59283Would she be overcome and swoon away?
59283Would she overwhelm me with reproaches and entreaties to stop and not ruin her sect?
59283Would they venter if they had n''t found that it wuz a good thing?"
59283Wuz it right for me to deny her the boon of immortality in the pages of my great work?
59283have I ever got to see that day?
59283how can they be?
59283what are we a comin''to?
59283what is the matter, Josiah?
12044Hast thou ever asked thyself what the slave would think of thy book if he could read it? 12044 Now why should not_ all_ this be done immediately?
12044Why, where do you want to sit?
12044''And why?''
12044''But why,''I asked,''if thou really believest what thou contendest for, namely, that their situation is as good as thine?''
12044After arguing for some time, one evening, with an individual, I proposed the question:''Would''st thou be willing to be a slave thyself?''
12044After speaking two hours, we returned to his house to tea, and he asked:''Why did you not tell the people why you believed you had a right to speak?''
12044Again I put the query:''Suppose thou wast obliged to free thy slaves, or take their place, which wouldst thou do?''
12044Again and again she asked herself:"How can I give them up?"
12044And how can you doubt of immortality when you look on your beloved''s face?
12044And how is it in South America?
12044And is it possible, I would ask myself to- night, is it possible that I have this day paid my last visit to the Presbyterian Church?
12044And now, my dear friend, what does all thou hast said in many pages amount to?
12044And what is the reason_ I_ am to be scolded because_ sister_ writes letters in the_ Spectator_?
12044Any evidence that we are wrong, or that slavery is a good and wholesome institution?
12044Are not the people in the West Indies principally mulatto?
12044Are not these unfortunate creatures expected to act on principles directly opposite to our natural feelings and daily experience?
12044Are the marks of discipleship changed, or who are thy true disciples?
12044Are we aliens because we are women?
12044Are we bereft of citizenship because we are the mothers, wives, and daughters of a mighty people?
12044Beecher''s absurd views of woman that I had better suppress my own?
12044But what should that be?
12044But who got it up, God or the devil?...
12044But, Is it?
12044Can you believe that the soul which looked out of those eyes can be quenched in endless night?
12044Did it once ascend to God in broken accents for the deliverance of the captive?
12044Did they not amalgamate there?
12044Did thy heart once swell with sympathy for thy sister in_ bonds_?
12044Didst thou even ask thyself what the free man of color would think of it?
12044Didst thou ever hear anything so absurd as what Catherine says about the certificate and a companion?
12044Divining her thought, I said,''Is it death?''
12044Do you know how this subject has been agitated in the Virginia legislature?"
12044Dost thou know that, from the beginning to the end, not a word of compassion for_ him_ has fallen from thy pen?
12044Dr. Kolloch''s parting question to her, spoken in the most solemn tones,"Can you, then, dare to hesitate?"
12044Hast thou thought of_ these_ things?
12044Have women no country-- no interests staked on the public weal-- no partnership in a nation''s guilt and shame?
12044He said,''And yet it is_ audaciously_ asked: What has the North to do with slavery?''
12044I am indeed thankful for it; how could I be otherwise, when it was so evident thou hadst my good at heart and really did for the best?
12044I asked what had made them so depraved?
12044In one of her letters she asks:"Dearest, does our precious mother seem to have any idea of leaving Carolina?
12044In one she asks:"Didst thou know that great efforts are making in the House of Delegates in Virginia to abolish slavery?"
12044In receiving and treating thee as an equal, a sister beloved in the Lord?
12044In the latter part of the second letter she says:--"Dost thou ask what I mean by emancipation?
12044In the spring, she writes in a letter to Thomas:--"The following proposition was made at a Colonization meeting in this city: is it strictly true?
12044In what did it consist?
12044Indeed, I should like to know what I have done yet?
12044Is it any wonder that she tried to grasp too much at first?
12044Is it not forgetting the great and dreadful wrongs of the slave in a selfish crusade against some paltry grievance of our own?
12044Is it right that I should separate myself from a people whom I have loved so tenderly, and who have been the helpers of my joy?
12044Is it right to give up instructing those dear children, whom I have so often carried in the arms of faith and love to the throne of grace?
12044Is it such an exhibition of slavery and prejudice as will call down_ his_ blessing on thy head?
12044Is n''t this cheering news?
12044More stones were thrown at the windows, more glass crashed, but she only paused to ask:--"What is a mob?
12044My story does n''t sound Southerny, does it?
12044O Jesus, where is thy meek and merciful disposition to be found now?
12044O sister, shall we ever wash our robes so white in the blood of the Lamb as to be clean enough to enter that pure and holy Temple of the Most High?
12044Shall woman refuse her response to the call?
12044She asked me if I thought it wrong to plant geraniums?
12044She could, she says, think of nothing else; and the question continually before her was,"What can I do?
12044She thus writes to a friend:--"Didst thou ever feel as if thou hadst no home on earth, except in the bosom of Jesus?
12044Still the question was ever before her:"Is there nothing that I can do?"
12044Thanks be to Him, I have not yet felt like complaining; nay, verily, the song of my heart is, Who so blest as I?
12044The master burst out laughing, and exclaimed:"Why, are you a nigger too?"
12044The meeting had been gathered some time when I arose, and after repeating our Lord''s thrice- repeated query to Peter,''Lovest thou me?''
12044The only answer she received was:"You are a girl; what do you want of Latin and Greek and philosophy?
12044The question naturally arises: if a little, why not more?
12044To his anxious question,''Pray, what is it?''
12044Was it not a fact that the minds of slaves were totally uncultivated, and their souls no more cared for by their owners than if they had none?
12044Was the paper once moistened by the tear of pity?
12044Weld, of more than two hours, on the question,''What is slavery?''
12044What a crowd of reflections throng the mind as we inquire,_ Why_ does her full heart thus overflow with gratitude?
12044What am I to do?
12044What can I do?"
12044What does brother Thomas think will be the issue of the political contest?
12044What dost thou think of some of_ them walking_ two, four, six, and eight miles to attend our meetings?"
12044What is the matter with thee?
12044What meaneth that loud acclaim with which they hail it?
12044What will you run a tilt at next?"
12044What would the breaking of every window be?
12044Which of these things is to be done next year, and which the year after?
12044Who shall dare to say when and where the echoes of her soul died away?
12044Why ca n''t you have eyes to see this?
12044Why, then, let me ask, is it necessary for you to enter the lists as controversial writers on this question?
12044Will Christian women heed such advice?
12044[ 4] Now, dearest, what dost thou think of it?
12044or carest thou not for the blessings and prayers of these our suffering brethren?

23233''Not by her husband?'' 23233 ''Of the black rod?''
23233Are you sure that he is mad?
23233Did you ever see the unfortunate being to whom these books belong?
23233Do you really think me mad?
23233I had two mattrasses on my bed; what did I want with two, when such a worthy creature must lie on the ground? 23233 I have no appetite,"replied Maria, who had previously determined to speak mildly,"why then should I eat?"
23233If the state of this child affected me, what were my feelings at a discovery I made respecting Peggy----? 23233 Let me see it,"demanded Maria impatiently,"You surely are not afraid of trusting me with the effusions of a madman?"
23233Woman,interrupted a sepulchral voice,"what have I to do with thee?"
23233''Indeed what could most women do?
23233''Necessity,''said Mr. S----; why should I reveal his name?
23233''Was it possible?
23233''Why was I,''I would ask thee, but thou didst not heed me,--''cut off from the participation of the sweetest pleasure of life?''
23233--Maria sighed intelligibly.--"Could any thing but madness produce such a disgust for food?"
23233Are we ever to meet again?
23233Are you tired of playing?
23233Are you very busy?
23233At breakfast, Jemima enquired whether she understood French?
23233Besides, might not a woman, anxious to escape, conceal some of the circumstances which made against her?
23233But I calmly silenced her, in the midst of a vulgar harangue, and turning to him, asked,''Why he vainly tormented me?
23233But I must not dwell on this subject.--Will you not endeavour to cherish all the affection you can for me?
23233But where are these reflections leading me?
23233But, on the contrary, when we peruse a skilful writer, who does not coincide in opinion with us, how is the mind on the watch to detect fallacy?
23233By force, or openly, what could be done?
23233Did you fall?
23233Do not tell me, that you are happier without us-- Will you not come to us in Switzerland?
23233Do you think that the creature goes regularly to sleep?
23233Do you want to know?
23233For what am I reserved?
23233For, feeling that I am happier than I ever was, do you wonder at my sometimes dreading that fate has not done persecuting me?
23233Have I any thing more to say to you?
23233Have you seen the baby?
23233Have you yet heard of an habitation for me?
23233He asked me, giving me a kiss,''If I had lost my senses?''
23233He fixed his eyes on me for a moment, then, calling me a fool, asked''How long I intended to continue this pretty farce?
23233Here, alone, a poor solitary individual in a strange land, tied to one spot, and subject to the caprice of another, can I be contented?
23233How are your affairs going on?
23233How can passion gain strength any other way?
23233How can you love to fly about continually-- dropping down, as it were, in a new world-- cold and strange!--every other day?
23233How could you, with your discernment, think it so?
23233How did you do when you were a baby like him?
23233How does the woman deserve to be characterized, who marries one man, with a heart and imagination devoted to another?
23233I HAVE been hurt by indirect enquiries, which appear to me not to be dictated by any tenderness to me.--You ask"If I am well or tranquil?"
23233I burst into tears, I thought it was killing myself-- yet was such a self as I worth preserving?
23233I have the sincerest esteem and affection for you-- but the desire of regaining peace,( do you understand me?)
23233I hope this will be the last letter I shall write from England to you-- are you not tired of this lingering adieu?
23233I shut the door, and, giving him the letter, simply asked,''whether he wrote it, or was it a forgery?''
23233I was indignant, especially when I saw her endeavouring to attract, shall I say seduce?
23233In answer to any question, in his best humour, it was a drawling''What do you say, child?''
23233In the course of near nine- and- twenty years, I have gathered some experience, and felt many_ severe_ disappointments-- and what is the amount?
23233Is it surprising then that they are often overlooked, even by those who are delighted by the same images concentrated by the poet?
23233Is it then surprising, that so many forlorn women, with human passions and feelings, take refuge in infamy?
23233Is she not an object of pity or contempt, when thus sacrilegiously violating the purity of her own feelings?
23233Maria had no fear but of being detained--"Who are you?
23233Now I am going towards the North in search of sunbeams!--Will any ever warm this desolated heart?
23233Now she endeavoured to brace her mind to fortitude, and to ask herself what was to be her employment in her dreary cell?
23233Peggy too was thrifty, and how could she manage to put his plan in execution alone?
23233Perceiving his mistake, I seriously asked him how, using such language to me, he could profess to be my husband''s friend?
23233Remember that it is not the morals of a particular people that I would decry; for are we not all of the same stock?
23233Such angelic confidence demanded the fidelity of honour; but could he, feeling her in every pulsation, could he ever change, could he be a villain?
23233The wind does not appear inclined to change, so I am still forced to linger-- When do you think that you shall be able to set out for France?
23233These are attentions, more grateful to the heart than offers of service-- But why do I foolishly continue to look for them?
23233They were silent-- yet discoursed, how eloquently?
23233This is my third letter; when am I to hear from you?
23233This morning I am better; will you not be glad to hear it?
23233To put her children out to nurse was impossible: how far would her wages go?
23233Venables''door was indeed open to me-- nay, threats and intreaties were used to induce me to return; but why?
23233WHAT, you think that you shall soon be able to dress yourself entirely?
23233Was I, indeed, free?''
23233Was it not to effect her escape, to fly to the succour of her child, and to baffle the selfish schemes of her tyrant-- her husband?
23233Was truth to be expected from one who had been entrapped, kidnapped, in the most fraudulent manner?"
23233Well, this you will say is trifling-- shall I talk about alum or soap?
23233What a torrent of abuse rushed out?
23233What are you about?
23233What did this laugh say, when you could not speak?
23233What do you want to say to me?
23233What have I to do here?
23233What indeed can equal the wretchedness of that state, in which there is no alternative, but to extinguish the affections, or encounter infamy?''
23233What shall we give him to eat?
23233When do the trees put out their leaves?
23233Where indeed could I go from his presence?
23233Whither could I creep for shelter?
23233Who had they to maintain them, but their husbands?
23233Why are positive punishments?
23233Why are women expected to surmount difficulties that men are not equal to?
23233Why do you cry?
23233Why do you smile?
23233Why was I not born a man, or why was I born at all?
23233Will you not grant you have forgotten yourself?
23233Will you not then be a good boy, and come back quickly to play with your girls?
23233Will you walk in the fields?
23233With these assurances, is it extraordinary that I should believe what I wished?
23233Would it not now be possible to arrange your business in such a manner as to avoid the inquietudes, of which I have had my share since your departure?
23233Yes, says papa, and he tapped you on the cheek, you are old enough to learn to eat?
23233and will you endeavour to render that meeting happier than the last?
23233before she enquired--"Why?"
23233but how can I expect that she will be shielded, when my naked bosom has had to brave continually the pitiless storm?
23233can any thing?
23233is he so unruly?"
23233is our life then only to be made up of separations?
23233or, to write very considerately, when will business permit you?
23233what are you?"
23233when do you think of coming home?
23233who can paint thy power; or reflect the evanescent tints of hope fostered by thee?
23233why was I not permitted to perform the last duties of one, and smooth the pillow of death?
23233why were you suffered to adorn a world exposed to the inroad of such stormy elements?"
23233you will ask, what is the result of all this reasoning?
8642''Consent-- you?'' 8642 Am I his?
8642Am not I the head of my house?
8642And how did he bear it?
8642And will that hurt them?
8642But, Lucy,said he, suddenly,"is that your baby you have in your arms?
8642Can this be you?
8642Certainly; how_ can_ you ask? 8642 Had she a comfortable home?"
8642Have you asked her whether she was satisfied with these_ indulgences_?
8642Have you made any use of these thoughts in your life, Almeria?
8642How,it was asked of them,"did you come here?"
8642If Paris be enamored of his bride, His Helen,--what concerns it me? 8642 Is he not kind to you?"
8642Is it a daughter? 8642 Is it a son?
8642It was hard for her?
8642Lucy,said he,"do you suppose I would hurt_ your_ child?"
8642Shall the woman be bound by the folly of the child? 8642 Should_ these_ die, myself Preserved, of prosperous future could I form One cheerful hope?
8642The prophet? 8642 The question in my mind is,"she resumed,"have I not a right to fly?
8642Was that a thought of joy to her?
8642What is the world to me?
8642What now absurdity?
8642Why,they said,"did you choose so barren a spot?"
8642''At whom, then,_ did_ you look?''
8642''Has England,''thought she,''a secret from us, while we have none from her?''
8642... Dwell I but in the suburbs Of your good pleasure?

8642And how atone For all I''ve done, and left undone?
8642And shall my life, my single life, Obstruct all this?
8642And the result?
8642And the result?
8642And what had Almeria done?
8642And what would Almeria think?
8642And where is that?
8642And why?
8642And why?
8642But here, in the_"Lettres d''un Voyageur,"_ what do I see?
8642But how many fathers are there who would have understood at once such a child as Margaret Fuller was, or would have done even as wisely as he?
8642But is it not surprising that such a description should apply to so few?
8642But were these acts, whether performed judiciously or no,_ so_ bold as to dare before God and Man to partake the fruits of such offence as this?
8642But what does this prove?
8642But when she rejoins to this,"Very true; but suppose I choose not to have a husband, or am not chosen for a wife-- what then?
8642But why call on God?

8642He wondered when he saw them, and inquired thus of Panthea:''And have you made me these arms, woman, by destroying your own ornaments?''

8642I did not believe in God; for why had He permitted the dart to enter so unprepared a breast?
8642I said,"Have you no religious scruples?
8642I shall grieve my parents; but, were they truly such, would they not grieve still more that I must reject the life of mutual love?

8642Why?
8642Will any, poor or rich, fail to feel that the children of such a parent were rich when"Her virtues were their worldly dower"?
8642Will there never be a being to combine a man''s mind and a woman''s heart, and who yet finds life too rich to weep over?

12052Sanitary Commission, and half a box of lemons? 12052 Shoulderstraps?
12052Something to eat?
12052Something to quench thirst? 12052 Stay with you?"

12052As Georgie passed the foot of the cabin stairs, Miss Dix was coming down, and called to her, saying:"What are you doing here?"

12052Can this nation ever, ever be forgiven for the blood of her innocent children?

12052Cloud?"
12052Could I at any time be required to drink tea out of a coarse delf cup and sleep in such a bed?
12052Could he believe his eyes?
12052Could it be possible that was ancient history?
12052Could they not spare two of you for duty?"
12052Did I know it was an apple tree through which I looked up to the blue sky, over which white clouds scudded away toward the great hills?

12052Do you not think James G. Birney and Gerrit Smith are anti- slavery?"
12052Do you not think you are a pretty fellow to have me come all the way from Minnesota to wash your feet?"
12052Do you suppose I would work over you as I have been doing, and then drop you for fear of a little more work?"
12052Do you think I am going to lose my investment in you?
12052Doctor, could you not take turns in amusing those ladies?
12052Does he not know you would be insulted at every step if you work for a living?
12052Had I actually given up the publication?
12052Had I slept and been awakened by the wind to find myself in the world?
12052Had he transferred his claim to the obedience of half the human family?
12052He called, and when I came and talked with them, said:"Wo n''t you stay with us?"
12052He clasped his hands, and together we repeated"Now I lay me down to sleep,"to the end; when I said:"Do you mean that, George?
12052He had never before been angry or vexed with me, but now he was both, and said:"How could you do me such an injustice?"
12052He had pushed his chair back from his desk, and sat regarding me in utter amazement while I stated the case, then said:"What do you mean?
12052He had them all summoned in the front end of the large room, and in presence of the patients, said to them:"You see this lady?
12052He laughed at the thought of my learning from him and said:"What shall I teach you?
12052He might have spoken a hasty word, but was it right to lay it up against him?
12052He said he could, and I added:"Will you pray before you sleep?"
12052He said:"Why is it I have known nothing of all this?
12052He stood at the foot of the bed, spread his chest, and inquired:"Well, brother, how is your soul in this solemn hour?"
12052Her manner was too simple and natural to have any art in it; and why should she have pretended a friendship she did not feel?
12052His black eyes twinkled, and he shook with laughter when I sat up, clasped my hands, and said:"Oh, dear?
12052His master informed him he had a bet on him, and the other party commanded him to"curse Jesus?"
12052How can you feel so?
12052How could she but think that the influence was evil which could bring such result?
12052How could you-- how dare you torture him?"
12052How did they come to be standing around on corners and doorsteps by the hundred, like crows on a cornfield fence?
12052How long could that weak woman maintain her respectability among all these men?

12052How many such men were there in this land?
12052How many wounded have you?"
12052How old do you call yourself?"
12052How should I follow Christ?
12052I called out:"Men, what have you had to eat?"
12052I drew back, and he said:"Is it possible you will not take my hand?"
12052I had a reckless abandon, for had I not thrown myself into the breach to die there, and would I not sell my life at its full value?
12052I have been hunting for you to ask if you would like to remain with us?"
12052I have not seen a woman in three months; what is your name?"
12052I heard his grievance, and said:"Doctor, how many of you surgeons are on this boat?"
12052I looked at him in much surprise, and said:"Who are you?"
12052I looked at him inquiringly, and said:"Well, did you die?"
12052I no curse Jesus; Jesus die for me, Massa; I die for Jesus?"
12052I replied,"She is here, dear mother, what of her?"
12052I said:"Is it your wife?"
12052I sat at some distance with my back to him, dressing a wound; and, without turning, said,"Why?
12052I sat talking with the man I had come to visit, and he said, in a whisper:"Are there lice in all the hospitals?"
12052I stopped, looked at him, and said:"It is a very pleasant evening; had you not better walk on and enjoy it?"
12052I was greatly grieved to think he had suffered from cold the last night of life, but how avoid any number of similar occurrences?
12052I was startled and without looking up, said:"Am I old enough?"
12052I was to die of overwork and want of sleep,"and then,"she exclaimed,"what will become of these men?
12052If I were not ashamed of my articles, why not sign them?
12052If he attacked me, could I defend myself with the hatchet?
12052If he could only enlist her, the whole family would most likely follow into the abolition ranks; but the bounty money, alas, where could he raise it?
12052If the cage were there, the great beast would probably go into it, but how get it there?
12052Is it not enough?"
12052Is this death?"
12052It does him good to scold, and what is the use of a man having a mother if he can not scold her when he is in pain?
12052It was a week or more after this conversation I found my patient, one morning, with blue lips and a pinched nose, and said to him:"What is this?"
12052It was of course in the interests of the South, and meant to prevent the troops leaving the State; but why had not the tribes struck together?
12052Its finances were desperate, and what else could I do?
12052Let me feel your hand?"
12052Milton epitomized Paul when he made Eve say to Adam,"Be God thy law, thou mine;"but was that the mind and will of God?

12052Next time I was in Judiciary, a young man on crutches accosted me, saying:"Were not you in Ward Six, about six weeks ago?"

12052Snooks?"
12052So, shortly after midnight, the doorbell was rung, when Mr. Babbitt inquired:"Who is there?"

12052There was very little soft bread-- it was theirs by right; what should I do?

12052Three nurses stood around him, and to my inquiry"What_ is_ the matter?"
12052Was I such a monster that this old family friend thought it necessary to urge me to go to my dying mother?
12052Was I to obey my husband in that way?
12052Was ever money so well expended?
12052Was every husband God to his wife?
12052Was it any fault of his that"all that she( the wife) can acquire by her labor- service or act during coverture, belongs to her husband?"
12052Was mine a saving faith, or did I, like the devils, believe and tremble?
12052We might set type, but when it came to making and locking up a form, ha, ha, would n''t there be sport?

12052While I made this statement he stood regarding me with ineffable disdain, and when I was through inquired:"Who are you?"
12052While he continued his comments, I buried my head in pillows, saying,"Lord what wilt thou have me to do?"
12052Who can we lean upon, in our old age?
12052Who should elect the aristocrats to be cradled in such luxury amid that world of want?
12052Who will take care of Johnny when we are gone?
12052Whose orders?"
12052Why did you not ask for one?"
12052Why have I never put on canvas one pair of those pleading eyes, in which are garnered the woes of centuries?
12052Why should I have blushed that my husband was a law- abiding citizen of the freest country in the world?
12052Why should the discovery of its existence curdle my blood, stop my heart- beats, and send a rush of burning shame from forehead to finger- tip?
12052Why, how did he know anything about it?"

29878But do we not sit in silence when that flag waves over living conditions which should be an insult to all patriotism?
29878Can they do it?
29878Can we really bring up our sons with a clear sense of the civic responsibility which we ourselves have not?

29878Shall the National American Woman Suffrage Association dissolve when the last task concerning the extension of suffrage to women is completed?
29878Shall the National American Woman Suffrage Association drop work for State Referenda and concentrate on the Federal Amendment?
29878Shall this be the last suffrage convention held under its auspices?
29878Shall we admit them only to a partnership of suffering and sacrifice and toil and not to a partnership of privilege and right?
29878Shall we be content with four stars or shall we provide the means to get a fifth?"
29878She must take it from one or all of them and will she make herself or the world better by doing so?"
29878Should We Work for Woman Suffrage in War Time?
29878Surely it behooves us to do something at once or what sort of citizens shall we have?
29878That is as far as you want them to go?
29878That was after the election?
29878The Chairman: That supposition applies to Congress also, does it?
29878The Chinese woman-- the woman of the harem-- do they rule it?
29878The Indian woman rocks the cradle; does she rule the world?
29878The crystallized sentiments of an intelligent people?
29878The following conversation then took place:"May I ask you a question?"
29878The natural question, therefore, was, Should the association make plans to dissolve immediately upon ratification or was there reason for continuance?
29878The program was as follows: What is the matter with the United States?
29878The question before the men of the country is, Should the women have the suffrage and if they get it how will they use it?"
29878There certainly can be no disagreement among us as to the latter statement but why is it more applicable to women than to men?
29878There was at first no thought that the people should elect him but do you not see how quickly they assimilated the machinery which was provided?
29878They gave much to us, did we give anything to them?
29878To say that means what?
29878Want it?
29878Was it not something of this love which inspired that immortal Declaration made at the Woman''s Rights Convention on July 19- 20, 1848?
29878Was there ever such a chance offered to the world before?
29878What Can the Enfranchised Women Do to Secure Suffrage for the Women of the Entire Nation?
29878What Good Will Woman Suffrage Do Our Country?
29878What care they now when all the world is with them?
29878What caused the doctors to come together in a Society for Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis?
29878What could be more appropriate than that such women should do for the coming generation what those of a preceding did for them?
29878What could be more natural than that women having attained their political independence should desire to give service in token of their gratitude?
29878What could be worse than that?''
29878What did I hear?
29878What does that mean?
29878What does the idea of government imply?
29878What is done with them when their bones give out and they can not work any more?
29878What is the Best Thing it Has Done for my State?
29878What is the position of your organization with reference to the question of whether or not women should have the right to vote at all?
29878What is your own mental attitude toward progress?
29878What more could we expect of her son?
29878What mysterious cause delayed them?
29878What necessary qualification fits men for the exercise of this sacred right which is not likewise possessed by women?
29878What of the working girl and her employer?
29878What time will a woman have to prepare herself for these new duties of citizenship?
29878What was the result?
29878What was the result?
29878What was the result?
29878What''s de reason dat we women ca n''t vote, an''ai n''t got no say- so''bout makin''de laws dat bosses us?
29878When I asked him about it he said:''Do you think I would notice a woman''s meeting?''
29878Where is yours?"
29878White of Chicago; Mrs. Upton on What Next?
29878Who are you that hesitate to promote, if you do not actually obstruct this Federal Amendment?
29878Who better than she knows whether or not the cost of living advances more rapidly than the wage does?
29878Who better than the mother who sees her boy and her girl playing in the streets knows the need of playgrounds?
29878Who can think that intellectual divergence, disagreement upon great public questions, would disrupt a family worth holding together?
29878Who is to blame if they do not have the keener sense?
29878Who represents these if not women?...
29878Who says"suffrage is going and not coming"?
29878Who shall say that our triumph is to be long delayed?
29878Who wants to vote that has no land?"
29878Whom did I see at that first suffrage meeting, first in my experience?
29878Why are we afraid?
29878Why debar the better and enfranchise the worse?
29878Why did not such evidence of a demand win the vote?
29878Why did they not come sooner if men were so willing?
29878Why do they neglect the women?
29878Why do we care more about our flag than any other flag?
29878Why do we want the ballot?
29878Why is it tyranny to men but not to women?
29878Why is the ballot given to him while it is denied to us?
29878Why not directly into the governmental ear-- the ballot box?
29878Why not then avail ourselves of this unique, this providential opportunity?
29878Why persist in embarrassing us with this very troublesome question?"
29878Why should they have grown more in the last sixty years than in all the years before?...
29878Why should we breathe them only in the prayer meeting or in the parlors of our friends?
29878Why should woman suffrage not come?
29878Why should you take such an interest in defeating Democratic Congressmen and Senators?
29878Why, when we have been travelling and seeing others, does the sight of the American flag bring tears to our eyes and warmth to our hearts?
29878Will she take it from her home and husband or from her church and children or from her charities and social pleasures?
29878Will the ballot in the hands of women pour oil on the troubled domestic waters?
29878Will women help our courts to better administer justice?
29878Would Congress fail to recognize such voting strength upon any other issue?
29878Would it be unwomanly to ask why there should have been such wide divergence in the Divine Illumination which each Oracle received?
29878You are aware that more Democrats voted for it than men of any other party?
29878You ask by whom?
29878You might say,"Why do you select this Democratic administration for your demand?
29878You tried to defeat him, did you not?
29878You tried to defeat the man in the House who presented this resolution which you are having hearings for, did you not?
29878Your organization spent a lot of time and money trying to defeat men on this committee that you are now before, did it not?
29878[ 117] From the address of President Wilson: And what shall we say of the women?...
29878[ 30] Our vice- president- at- large will speak to you on What Cheer?"
29878[ 37] If this request was so"reasonable"why was the word"sex"included in the first place?
29878and in amazement ask himself,"How does it happen that there have been any?"
29878but''Was it license or no license?''
29878under the title What''s in a Name?
43502''Appy? 43502 Dizzy?
43502Fear?
43502Got us----?
43502How did you get here so early?
43502I knew you''d be surprised-- wasn''t it clever of me to manage it? 43502 Intriguing to get hold of?"
43502Keep quiet, cawn''t yer?
43502Mrs. or Miss?
43502Political dynamite,eh?

43502''Ow''re we goin''to know if you ca n''t tell us?
43502(_ A great shout._) Yes-- seems funny, does n''t it?
43502(_ Debating with herself._) You do n''t know about her, I suppose?
43502(_ Hastily._) At least the papers said so, did n''t they?
43502(_ He stares bewildered._ JEAN_ drops her hands in her lap and steadies her voice._) She went away from you, then?
43502(_ Her watchful eye, leaving her husband for a moment, catches_ MISS LEVERING''S_ little involuntary gesture._) What''s the matter?
43502(_ Hurries after_ MISS LEVERING_ as she advances to speak to the_ FREDDYS,_& c._) Why, God bless my soul, do you realise that''s_ drains_?
43502(_ Laughter._) MR. P. Per''aps''e does n''t know much about women?
43502(_ Pause._) After all... women are much more conservative than men-- aren''t they?
43502(_ Quite low._) Then do n''t you know you must pay me in kind?
43502(_ Raising his voice._) Why should I remind anybody of what I want only to forget?
43502(_ She is about to speak, he advances on her._) Do you deny that you returned my letters unopened?
43502(_ She stands looking out into the void._) One woman''s mishap?--what is that?
43502(_ Voice_:"Mill?
43502(_ With a sudden thought._) What has changed her?
43502(_ With sudden change of tone._) Why do I waste time over myself?
43502(_ goes straight on as if she had not heard_)--man asking: if the women get full citizenship, and a war is declared, will the women fight?
43502--don''t you think?
43502... To have lived through_ that_ when she was... how old?
43502A pilgrimage?
43502And did n''t he?
43502And if Geoffrey Stonor offered you-- what''s called"reparation"--you''d refuse it?
43502And it''s like that?
43502And it_ is n''t_ so?
43502And still no work?
43502And what did they decide?
43502And what difference did it make?
43502And why should n''t she?
43502And why"could n''t"you?
43502And you''re unchanged-- is that it?
43502Angelic?
43502Any complication?
43502Any men here belongin''to the Labour Party?
43502Are all who avail themselves of Lord Rowton''s hostels, are_ they_ all angels?
43502Are we down-''earted?
43502Are we down-''earted?
43502Are you quite ready?
43502Are you threatening me?
43502Are you?
43502Are-- you-- married?
43502Are_ they_ all''appy?
43502At the door I saw the helmets of two policemen, and I said to myself:"What sort of crime shall I have to sit and hear about?
43502Bless me, am I such a chicken?
43502But the time has come when a woman may look about her, and say,"What general significance has my secret pain?
43502But where did you go-- dressed like that?
43502But(_ pity and annoyance blended in her tone_)--you care about him still, Vida?
43502But_ how_ did you get here?
43502Ca n''t you do what the other four hundred have done?
43502Ca n''t you see that this crazed campaign you''d start her on-- even if it''s successful, it can only be so through the help of men?
43502Can you tell me, my man, which are the ones that-- a-- that make the disturbances?
43502Could n''t you see the men were at their old game?
43502D''you think_ we_ ought to st''y''ome and wash the dishes?
43502Did he say anything?
43502Did n''t Mr. Greatorex say women had been politely petitioning Parliament for forty years?
43502Did n''t know?
43502Did n''t the women sit quiet till ten minutes to closing time?
43502Did n''t you say the 1.10?
43502Did nobody want you to teach French or sing the little songs?
43502Did you hear what Mrs. Heriot said about him?
43502Did you know she''d got that old horror to give Lady John £ 8,000 for her charity before he died?
43502Did you mean you are ready to do that?
43502Did you want to?
43502Do I always talk about Stonor?
43502Do n''t you know there''s a third of the women o''this country ca n''t afford the luxury of stayin''in their''omes?
43502Do n''t you think_ they_ know there''s been more said and written about it in these ten days since the scene, than in the ten years before it?
43502Do you deny that you refused to see me-- and that, when I persisted, you vanished?
43502Do you know that out of every hundred women in this country eighty- two are wage- earning women?
43502Do you mean then that, after all-- it lived?
43502Do you reely think we tyke them there low wyges because we got a_ lykin''_ for low wyges?
43502Do you think the result should make us proud of our policy?
43502Does it''join on''to anything?"
43502Does she come every week- end?
43502Does the Government want to punish_ all_ women because they do n''t like the manners of a handful?
43502For what are you thanking God?
43502For what was Mrs. Freddy too happily married and all the rest?
43502For what?
43502Freedom?
43502Geoffrey Stonor is n''t going to be-- a little too old for you?
43502Geoffrey Stonor?
43502Go?
43502Had n''t it been just as"favourable"before?
43502Has Miss Levering come down yet?
43502Has she never paid it back?
43502Has_ she_ been seeing visions too?
43502Have I ever failed?
43502Have n''t you noticed that all their worst disturbances come when men are in charge?
43502Have you got your lesson(_ with a little broken laugh_)_ by heart_ at last?
43502Help you?
43502How d''ye do, Mr. Freddy?
43502How did the working man get the Suffrage, we asked ourselves?
43502How do they know what''s womanly?
43502How do you do, Mr. Stonor?
43502How do you do, aunt?
43502How do you do?
43502How do you do?
43502How do you do?
43502How do you do?
43502How do you know?
43502How do you know?
43502How do you know?
43502How do_ you_ know?
43502How many Platos are there here in this crowd?
43502How many Shakespeares are there in all England to- day?
43502How will he do that?
43502How_ are_ you to know if we ca n''t somehow manage to tell you?
43502How_ could_ you?
43502I began to say to myself:"Is n''t it time the women lent a hand?"
43502I forget, do you know Mr. Stonor personally, or(_ smiling_) are you just dazzled from afar?
43502I s''y, Miss,''oo killed cock robin?
43502I wonder if they did spit?
43502I?
43502I?
43502If I gave you that much-- for your little projects-- what would you give me?
43502If I hear that you persist in it I shall have to---- MISS L. What?
43502If everybody said we were nice, well- behaved women, who''d come to hear us?
43502If it wus only to use fur_ our_ comfort, d''ye think many o''you workin''men would be found turnin''over their wyges to their wives?
43502If the House of Commons wo n''t give you justice, why do n''t you go to the House of Lords?
43502If the vote ai n''t done us any good,''ow''ll it do the women any good?
43502If the women want the vote w''y ai n''t they''ere to s''y so?"
43502If women must be freed by women, we have need of such as--(_her eyes go to_ JEAN''S_ door_)--who knows?
43502In the case of this poor little abandoned working girl, what man can be the fit judge of her deeds in that awful moment of half- crazed temptation?
43502In_ our_ debt?
43502Is it a woman, I wondered?
43502Is n''t it angelic of him?
43502Is n''t she wonderful?
43502Is n''t that so?
43502Is n''t the phrase consecrated to a different class?
43502Is she here with you?
43502Is she here?
43502Is she one of them?
43502Is that true?
43502Is this a burglar coming along between the two big policemen, or will it be a murderer?
43502Is this the effect seeing Geoffrey has?
43502Is your grandfather worse?
43502It''s only an effort to meet the greatest evil in the world?
43502It''s so strange, Geoffrey, to see a man like you as much deluded as the Hyde Park loafers who say to Ernestine Blunt,"Who''s hurt_ your_ feelings?"
43502Just tell me, my child, is it all right?
43502Let me see, was n''t a deputation sent to you not long ago?
43502Let us see, how we shall put it-- when the time comes-- shall we?
43502MISS L. And now...?
43502MISS L. At eleven at night?
43502MISS L. At last?
43502MISS L. But for the tramp population less conducive to savouriness, do n''t you think, than-- baths?
43502MISS L. Do you picture the Suffragettes sitting in sackcloth?
43502MISS L. Do you?
43502MISS L. I-- I----(_ Stumbles and stops._)(_ Talking and laughing increases._"Wot''s''er name?"
43502MISS L. Is that what he says?
43502MISS L. Then why keep up that old pretence?
43502MISS L. To keep you and her apart?
43502MISS L. Well, have they primed you?
43502MISS L. What terrible thing?
43502MISS L. What?
43502MISS L. When did you write this?
43502MISS L. Why could that great, all- powerful body do nothing?
43502MISS L. Why do you think I know?
43502MISS L. You are_ not_ certain?
43502MISS L. You think we would n''t be glad to go straight to the goal?
43502MRS. F. Homeless women?
43502MRS. F. My friends?
43502MRS. F. Who got him to?
43502MRS. F. You are n''t saying you think it was a good way to get what they wanted?
43502MRS. F._ Here?_(_ Shrugs._) I do n''t beat the air.
43502MRS. H. How did_ you_ happen to be there?
43502May I?
43502Mine?
43502Miss Levering is?
43502Mr. Greatorex-- he''s a Radical, is n''t he?
43502My dear(_ to_ MISS LEVERING), have your things been sent down?
43502My engagement?
43502No?
43502Not down yet-- the Elusive One?
43502Not to your mother?
43502Nothing reprehensible in what_ she_ said, was there?
43502Now, are n''t you glad I brought you?
43502Oh, have you been hearing him speak?
43502Oh, is it question time?
43502Oh, is she?
43502Oh, is that true?
43502Oh, shut up, cawn''t yer?
43502Oh, was it like the papers said?
43502Oh, why did you do it?
43502Oh?
43502Oh?
43502Only one vacancy?
43502Or does wrong- doing in a man not matter?
43502Or(_ her eyes blaze_) did you dare to be afraid I would n''t?
43502Power!--_you?_ JEAN.
43502Rather too much, is n''t there, little girl?
43502Run away?
43502Said that, did he?
43502Shall I tell you a secret?
43502She went away from you?
43502Slight pause._)(_ The words escaping from her in a miserable cry_) Why did you desert her?
43502So that justice should n''t miscarry-- wasn''t it?
43502Soper?
43502Still talking over the Shelter plans?
43502Still, you_ are_ an advocate of the Suffrage, are n''t you?
43502Than men?
43502That she was four years older than you?
43502That you have very pink cheeks?
43502The only question is upon what terms shall she continue to be in?
43502Then what''s all the chatterment about?
43502They are often asked elsewhere; and I would like to ask in return: Since when was human society held to exist for its handful of geniuses?
43502They study music by thousands; where''s their Beethoven?
43502This afternoon?
43502Till----?
43502To- day?
43502Trent?
43502W''y do n''t you stop in it?
43502Was that because you would n''t marry her?
43502Was that why you... was_ that_ why?
43502Was there never a mysogynist of my sex who ended by deciding to make an exception?
43502We were so happy out there in the summer- house, were n''t we?
43502Well, Mrs. Freddy, what do you think of your friends now?
43502Well, did he get back alive?
43502Well, how spoilt is the great man?
43502Well, why should n''t a man- hater on your side prove equally open to reason?
43502Well----?
43502Well?
43502Well?
43502Well?
43502Were they Guelf or Ghibelline?
43502What a pity she has n''t got a husband and a baby to keep her quiet"?
43502What about my brother?
43502What about?
43502What advertisement is so sure of being remembered?
43502What can I do for you?
43502What did you do?
43502What do you call the greatest evil in the world?
43502What do you know about it?
43502What do you mean?
43502What do you mean?
43502What do you propose she shall do, poor child?
43502What do you say?
43502What do you say?
43502What do you think he was charged with?
43502What do you think she said to me in London the other day?
43502What does she do to tire her?
43502What excuse shall you make your own soul for not going straight to the goal?
43502What had he been stealing-- that small criminal?
43502What happened?
43502What if there is n''t?
43502What in the name of---- What has she been saying to you?
43502What is it you are asking of me?
43502What made her write like that?
43502What makes you think...?
43502What men?
43502What name?
43502What news?
43502What on the whole are the prospects?
43502What others?
43502What reason did she give?
43502What resolution?
43502What revolting views?
43502What sort of felon is to stand in the dock before the women whose crime is they ask for the vote?"
43502What they want?
43502What woman is tried by hers?
43502What''ave you done for yours?
43502What''s the use of your going on denying it?
43502What''s up?
43502What?
43502What?
43502What?
43502What?
43502What?
43502What?
43502What?
43502What_ could_ I do?
43502When did he do anything like that?

43502Where are you going?
43502Where in all this were_ her_"peers"?
43502Where is she now?
43502Where''s the woman Shakespeare?
43502Where''s their Plato?

43502Who told you that?
43502Who told you that?
43502Who?
43502Whose story?
43502Why are you catechising me?
43502Why are you saying goodbye as if you were never coming back?
43502Why are you so sure of that?
43502Why did men so long ago insist on trial by"a jury of their peers"?
43502Why did n''t you telegraph?
43502Why do you dislike her so?
43502Why do you say it like that?
43502Why does he behave like that?
43502Why does n''t she marry?
43502Why have n''t I seen her before?
43502Why is she intriguing to get hold of a man that, ten years ago, she flatly refused to see, or hold any communication with?
43502Why not realise(_ going quite close to him_) this is a thing that goes deeper than personal experience?
43502Why not?
43502Why not?
43502Why should it?
43502Why should it?
43502Why should you think that it''s only you, these ten years have taught something to?
43502Why was it, then?
43502Why, I thought you said you wanted me----?
43502Why, where is he, then?
43502Why?
43502Why_ will_ you go on talking of what''s so long over and ended?
43502Will that ghost give you no rest?
43502Will you come?
43502With Miss Levering?
43502With----?
43502Wot about the 96,000 textile workers?
43502Wot about the Yorkshire tailoresses?
43502Wot d''you expect from a pig but a grunt?
43502Wot next?
43502Wot''s the reason thousands do-- and the best and the soberest?
43502Wot''s_ politics_?
43502Would you have women magistrates?
43502Yes-- what''a''they ever_ done_?
43502Yes?
43502You are n''t serious?
43502You did n''t get it, then?
43502You know one another?
43502You may as well tell me-- do you mean to----?
43502You mean that rowdy scene in the House of Commons?
43502You must think he has a great deal of power---- MISS L. Power?
43502You never asked yourselves,"_ Wot''s a Liberal, anyw''y?_"A VOICE.
43502You remember Mrs. Freddy''s friend who came to tea here in the winter?
43502You think I do n''t recall it correctly?
43502You think that night of the scene-- you think the men did n''t_ mean_ to play fair?
43502You think they were just putting off the issue till it was too late?
43502You two still talking Soper?
43502You want me to have a_ real_ share in it all, do n''t you, Geoffrey?
43502You wanted it_ overlooked_?
43502You''ll remind her of that first of all, wo n''t you?
43502You''re trying to shield him---- MISS L. Why should I-- what is it to me?
43502You''ve come to realise, then-- after all these years-- that you owed me something?
43502_ Cleared up?_ JEAN.
43502_ Does_ he?
43502_ I?_ JEAN.
43502_ I_ did n''t know her name was Vida; how did you?
43502_ Is n''t_ it fun?
43502_ One?_ Oh- h!
43502_ Saw?_ Where?
43502_ Saw?_ Where?
43502_ W''y_ does any woman tyke less wyges than a man for the same work?
43502_ What!_ Then how in the name of Heaven do you know-- that she wants-- what you ask?
43502_ Whose?_ JEAN.
43502_ Will_ you?
43502_ You_ went?
43502_''Ome_ do you call it?
43502how am I ever going to be able to behave like a girl who is n''t engaged to the only man in the world worth marrying?
43502what are the women of this country coming to?
43502what can a woman like you_ know_ about it?
53937A human being, does she find equality in the State? 53937 A wife-- does she find equality in love and marriage?
53937But is she so? 53937 Do you believe that Madame de Girardin would deposit a less intelligent vote in the electoral urn than that of her footman?"
53937In the name of this principle, what ameliorations have we demanded in the laws and customs? 53937 It is in marriage that the sources of good and evil are found; would you know why?
53937Might he not have good reason for acting in this manner?
53937Right, my child: but if a young man who was free should speak of love, and urge you to write to him in secret?
53937Shall we speak of the present? 53937 Well, Madam, what did I tell you in my last letter?
53937What is marriage?
53937What is their existence to- day( that of women)? 53937 What principle has served us in this as a guide?
53937What then are the means of subsistence for women destitute of fortune? 53937 What, mother, will he not always love me the same?"
53937Why not?
53937--_Id._ Do you understand clearly?
53937--_Id._ Do you understand me now?
53937--_Id._ What do you think of this theory?
53937A few only demand their rights, you say; but is it in accordance with principle or with numbers that you judge of the justice of a cause?
53937Among the working people, what class is most wretched?
53937An ideal in the brain of a horse or a mare may pass, since there is a brain; but where will you lodge that of the male and female flower?
53937And besides, do you think that liberty, which in man engenders individuality and virtue, would produce in woman moral degradation?
53937And how can it help suffering if it is reduced to servitude and oppressed by the other?
53937And if all this shame, all these griefs, all these crimes are true?
53937And if there is no fortune?
53937And in case the parents should be alike unworthy?
53937And ought not all serious discipline to tend to develop, not one phase of the being, but the ponderation, the harmony of all its phases?
53937And the men that belong to the great party of the future, how do you style them?
53937And what enlightenment do you fancy that you have given us?
53937And would you not fix the number of times that a divorced person might re- marry?
53937Answer, women: Is it true that the great majority of seduced women are incapacitated, through shame and poverty, from rearing their children?
53937Are all instincts good which are merely inclinations or attractions?
53937Are not wrong and wretchedness found everywhere, because inequality, the offspring of insane classifications, is found everywhere?
53937Are we not justified in asking you, whether you are for or against the Revolution?
53937Are women ill on the recurrence of the law peculiar to their sex?
53937Are you eclectic, then?
53937Are you fully sure of comprehending yourself better than we comprehend you?
53937Are you not of the same opinion?
53937Are you quite sure, my children, that the end of these attractions is not the attraction itself, the procurement of a pleasure?
53937Are you resolved to throw me into convulsions?
53937As far as we can foresee, Society must necessarily?
53937As to the rest, do they form a series?
53937Besides have I not said that, had I formed a classification, I should not give it?
53937Besides, what does Society do for them?
53937Between the brain that discovers a great natural law and the one that reflects on nothing?
53937Between the man of genius and the humble rag- picker?
53937Between the philosopher who elevates the human mind and the porter who does not even know how to read?
53937But among partners, is there really room for a ruling power?
53937But do they differ as you say?
53937But have you really the right to complain of it, you who have constituted yourself the chief whipper- in of the economists and the socialists?
53937But how can two individuals who, instead of being ruled by truth, are ruled only by their misdirected passions,--how can these two make but one?
53937But if the spouses ask to be divorced only on account of incompatibility of temper, and are both honorable?
53937But in this respect, among the number of men that write how many are there who have genius, and who never borrow from any one?
53937But tell me, what meaning do you give to the words_ sacrament_ and_ mystery_, that sound so hollow and false from your lips?
53937But the future of the children?
53937But then, Master, if man is all this, why do you reproach the men of our times with lack of courage, of dignity, of justice, of reason, of good faith?
53937But were your affirmation true, is naught but_ strength_ employed in labor?
53937But what did this Revolution do for them, I pray?
53937But what if one of the parties through caprice or evil motives is unwilling that the other should do something that is proper and advantageous?
53937But what is the use of discussing a thing that is devoid of meaning to the intellect?
53937But you, who wish to annihilate woman, from what principle do you draw such a consequence?
53937By reason of a purely accidental predominance, can one half of the human species be banished beyond the clouds of sentimentality?
53937By what token can we know that our instinct has a right tendency?
53937By whom are the boarding- schools, the farms, often even, the manufactories, sustained?
53937Can any one of you admit such a possibility?
53937Can it be possible that you trifle in this manner with your readers?
53937Can it be said that woman is wounded because she is subjected to a periodical fracture, the cicatrice of which is almost imperceptible?
53937Can such domination endure?
53937Can you explain, then, why it is that so often he does_ not_ resemble him?
53937Can you prove to me, a woman, that I desire to possess knowledge differently from you?
53937Can you, a man of heart, can you treat women as wretched and corrupt because they are willing no longer to be slaves?
53937Come; seriously, what means this jingle of empty words?
53937Did not most among you, ladies, purchase your husbands with so much dowry, so much income, so much_ expectations_?
53937Did you wait for the revendication of_ all_ the slaves of your colonies before emancipating them?
53937Did you wait until_ all_ the male population demanded their right of universal suffrage in order to decree it to them?
53937Do I dispute it?
53937Do not women demand them, gentlemen?
53937Do you admit that woman is identical in species with man?
53937Do you comprehend at last?
53937Do you consider Marriage as indissoluble?
53937Do you deny that they are your equals because they are less intelligent as a whole than men?
53937Do you deny that, if they differ, they should have different functions?
53937Do you feel the deplorable courage to expose yourself to such risks?"
53937Do you know who were, who are the infatuated?
53937Do you know why, in 1848, so many women, especially among the people, declared themselves for the Revolution?
53937Do you not even interdict to her those vocations in which strength is needed, or which are attended with danger?
53937Do you not see that free marriages are happier and more lasting than any others?
53937Do you reproach a man then for taking our part against the selfish and animal passions of his sex, and against the impunity accorded them by the laws?
53937Do you reproach him for taking in hand the cause of morals and health, in opposition to the degradation of soul and body?
53937Do you wish to save the perishing world?
53937Do you wish women to take to heart matters of general interest?
53937Does Proudhon remember how he threatens the priest who shall lay his hand on his children?
53937Does he feel that this creed classes him among the abettors of the dogmatism of the Middle Age, and does he recoil before such a responsibility?
53937Does this signify that woman should oppress man?
53937During the suit for divorce, who shall have the control of the property?
53937Either what they do is right, and therefore can not be wrong in woman; Or what they do is wrong; then why do they do it?
53937Every organ supposes a function, it is true, but what_ facts_ authorize you to say that the married couple is the organ of justice?
53937Has not this malady, impelling theocratists and legislators to divide humanity into castes and classes, caused most of the calamities of our species?
53937Has woman less time and capacity than your working men, pinned twelve hours a day to their petty and stultifying tasks?
53937Have we a right to say to half the human kind: you shall not have your share in life and in the state?
53937Have we not seen your pretensions to superiority confounded by Catharine, who trampled under foot the masculine sex?
53937Have you changed your opinion?
53937Have you ever thought of doing so?
53937Have you had at your disposal, can you place at ours these proofs_ de facto_?
53937Have you not yourself admitted that to separate the parties in these unions, it often suffices to join them legally?
53937Have you proved that in this menagerie, they think falsely, they write badly, they are worth nothing as to conscience until forty- five years of age?
53937Have you proved this?
53937He then continues in a serious strain:"What matters tradition to us?
53937How did you form it?
53937How long a time should elapse between the admission of the petition and the judgment of divorce?
53937How shall we set to work to remedy this iniquitous and shameful state of affairs?
53937How will she become the equal of man in civil dignity?
53937I confine myself to a single question; what education do women receive?
53937I have finished, Master; have you anything more to say?
53937I said to myself, not without disquietude, What is the matter?
53937If a woman should say such things, what a universal hue and cry would be raised?
53937If she has no dowry, how can she marry in this world in which woman, never representing anything but a passive being, is forced to buy a husband?...
53937If the union were without protection, who would suffer by it?
53937In every other branch of administration, has not woman given lessons to man?
53937In my turn, I ask you: What would have impelled Proudhon, a Roman slave, to play the part of Spartacus?
53937In order to establish it, did you carry a dynamometer about through our districts and measure the strength of each man and of each woman?
53937In the face of these undeniable facts, I ask you, yourself, what becomes of your theory?
53937In which man is reputed to support by his labor those who often labor more than he, or who bring him a dowry?
53937Is equality before the law based upon_ individual_ qualities?
53937Is he not then,_ adequate to his destiny_, as you have affirmed?
53937Is it in these things that his knowledge consists?
53937Is it love?
53937Is it not the duty of society to secure the progress of its members, and can any one have a right to keep a human being in ignorance and evil?
53937Is it not to deny to them( to women) their title of human beings?
53937Is it not to disinherit the state itself?
53937Is it not to expose a woman to adultery, to marry her at seventeen or eighteen to a man of thirty, forty or even fifty years of age?
53937Is it ours, who desire to please you and to be loved by you, or yours, who can only be attracted by dress?
53937Is it so necessary that we should fight?
53937Is it true, lastly, that this same selfishness and this same confidence are the cause of thousands of human lives being criminally sacrificed?
53937Is not the moral liberty of the spouses as worthy of respect as that of nuns, priests and monks?
53937Is not this somewhat exaggerated, Master?
53937Is she in such haste to grow old?"
53937Is she treated by us as an equal?
53937Is this in conformity with our ideal of human love?
53937Is this the cry of their outraged nature, or an aberration of their understanding?
53937Is this to say that I admit all the ideas of M. de Girardin?
53937Is this your intention?
53937Is woman to- day, in so far as a human being, really treated as the equal of man?
53937Is your intellect so feeble that it does not comprehend that, without marriage, there is not, there can not be justice?
53937It is not so, my dear sister?
53937It is true; but do you believe that to affirm this suffices to improve, to transform the method of education?
53937It is true; but do you believe that to verify these things suffices to remedy our abasement?
53937It is true; but do you think that to verify the evil suffices to cure it?
53937Lastly, Master, what is the position of all women relatively to all men?
53937Let men suffer themselves to be deceived by our mask, nothing is more natural; but what is the use of playing the farce among women?
53937Look then at the men who have received a feminine education; have they not all the affectation, all the narrowness of mind of silly women?
53937M. Legouvé, is this logic?
53937Most assuredly; else what signifies our arguments against separation?
53937My son, says she, what is the end of the attraction of mineral molecules towards each other?
53937No; and if you neither have them nor can procure them, what is your thesis, if not the illusion of a brain sick with pride and with hatred of woman?
53937Now I have never learned that any keeper of a seraglio had been transformed into an odahlic; have you?
53937Now gentlemen, what becomes of these pretensions in the presence of_ facts_ that show you all unequal in strength and in intellect?
53937Of what, then, is Michelet thinking, in laying such stress on the diseases of women in the face of the quite as numerous diseases of men?
53937Old, ugly and forsaken, she must be thrown into the car of the condemned to be transported to the guillotine?
53937On the other hand, do you cultivate the intellect of man by novels, theatres, and spectacles of criminal courts?
53937Once more, am I to blame for it?
53937Ought society to permit unions disproportioned in age?
53937Poetry aside, can you, in exact and definite terms, explain to me what they mean?
53937Shall I tell you what I really think?
53937Shall we demand the suppression of separation from bed and board?
53937Shall we impute this to it as a crime?
53937Shall we refute such doctrines?
53937Shall we, in conclusion, compare your doctrine concerning the right of woman with that which you profess concerning right in general?
53937She therefore comprehends, feels, and loves justice?
53937Since in our days men play the mandolin, is it not necessary that women should speak seriously?
53937So there is neither liberty nor equality even for the woman who has not a father or husband?
53937Tell me, is there commutability between the qualities that distinguish men from each other?
53937Temperament, the source of right?
53937That Society_ does not recognize vows_, and that proceedings can not be instituted against their violation?
53937That she is an affective power, you say... yes, but, as to that, man is such, likewise; and is not woman, as well as he, alike intellect and activity?
53937That slaves accustomed to their chains, do not feel them until their instigators to revolt show them the bruises on their flesh?
53937That the compensation of labor and of competition should be regulated according to Labor, Capital and Talent?
53937That the conversation of these women exhausts, enervates the men who are not there?
53937That the most opposite, the most diverse passions are the conditions_ sine quâ non_ of harmony?
53937That the primordial element of a system of society should be the Societary or Phalansterian association?
53937That there, in the absence of men, the women take the initiative in affairs of love?
53937That these women prefer the old, ugly and wicked men, or the pretty, mincing puppets, who are not at their disposal?
53937That what you call a first fault, drives the greater part of them to make a traffic of their charms?
53937That woman is elevated by man, who is elevated only by himself and by God?
53937The division thus fixed, what ought woman to do?
53937The divorce being granted, and the ex- partners restored to liberty, would you permit them to marry others?
53937The excellent Leroux asks who does not feel, who does not admit at the present day the equality of the sexes?
53937Then all of the animal and vegetable species in which the sexes are separated have an ideal in love?
53937Then marriage is necessary to all?
53937Then one does not perish entirely, as you taught your disciples?
53937Then woman shall have rights if she is beautiful, and as long as she shall continue so; if she is beloved, and as long as she shall continue so?
53937Then, great economist, what do we do with_ skill_?
53937This may be very fine, but as to being_ rational_ and_ positive_--what do you think, readers?
53937This regards civil Right in general; what reforms shall we demand concerning married women?
53937To say that marriage is an institution_ sui generis_, a_ sacrament_, a_ mystery_, is to affirm what?
53937To what inclination or attraction is Society due?
53937To what new careers does she give them access?
53937To which of our faculties, our virtues, our prerogatives; or else of our failings, our perfidies, our calamities, do they aspire?
53937Upon men?
53937Upon what elements do you base this proportion?
53937Upon whom falls all the expense of illegitimate children?
53937Upon whom then will you have a right to count, if you abandon yourselves?
53937Was it not by becoming a child again in order to comprehend you, that I fulfilled my sacred task of instructor?
53937We are about to speak of Marriage from the stand point of the modern ideal-- how do you define it?
53937Well, is it not dangerous to accord it to those who would employ it against this end?
53937Well, what happens most of the time, in cases of illegitimacy?
53937What am I doing to- day, in the name of a legion of women of whom I am the interpreter?
53937What are a host of American women doing at the present time?
53937What are the reasons which you would consider valid for a petition for divorce?
53937What are these functions relative to her degree of present development?
53937What are these worth, I ask you, gentlemen?
53937What are we to do, you say?
53937What are we to do?
53937What are you to do, ladies?
53937What arguments do the adversaries of the emancipation of women use to refute the equality of the rights of the sexes?
53937What did Jean Deroin, Pauline Roland and many others, do here in 1848?
53937What do you hold as the basis of right?
53937What does this mean in plain language?
53937What does this prove?
53937What follows from all this?
53937What follows from these divergent affirmations?
53937What follows from these undeniable facts?
53937What harmony of sentiments and views can exist at that time between the spouses?
53937What have a number of English women done already?
53937What inspires him with the sentiment of his dignity, the scorn of falsehood, the hatred of injustice, the abhorence of all tyranny?
53937What is it that troubles them?
53937What is such a contract, if not the violation of the principle which affirms that no covenant can be made involving persons?
53937What is the end of political right?
53937What is the end of the attraction of the plant for heat, light, air, the elements which it absorbs?
53937What is the object of Legouvé''s work?
53937What is the ruling power?
53937What is this institution, in which man is reputed to defend his wife and children with his sword, whom the law defends, even against him?
53937What is this_ essence_, and this_ living elixir_ of science?
53937What man would consent to we d a woman in the same position?
53937What matters history to us?
53937What part do you assign to Society in Marriage?
53937What reasons do you give, besides, to support your opinions?
53937What reforms do you demand with respect to the family council and guardianship?
53937What rights would you grant these inferior and feeble natures?
53937What should be these conditions for the enjoyment of political right, in your opinion?
53937What would have impelled Proudhon, a Russian serf, to take the character of Poutgachef?
53937What would have impelled Proudhon, a black slave, to become a Toussaint L''Ouverture?
53937What would have impelled Proudhon, a citizen of''89, to overthrow the privileges of the nobility and the clergy?
53937What would have impelled Proudhon, a feudal serf, to organize a Jacquerie?
53937What would you think of the man who should act thus with respect to your own companion?"
53937When will woman become the equal of man in marriage?
53937When will woman become the equal of man in the employment of her activity and of her other faculties?
53937When will you be ashamed of the part to which you are condemned?
53937When will you respond to the appeal that generous and intelligent men have made to you?
53937Whence comes it that you greet the queen with your sympathies, while you have nought but words of blame and contempt for the revolutionist?
53937Where is now to- day the_ ville- pedaille_, the villains and base- tenants, fit only to drain ditches and to be stripped to the skin?
53937Which of us two is the more reasonable and more rational?
53937Who are they that earn from sixteen to eighteen sous for twelve hours of labor?
53937Who bear all the disgrace of faults committed through passion?
53937Who establish, who superintend the thousands of establishments of millinery and objects of taste?
53937Who should take custody of the children and the property during the proceedings?
53937Who would dare maintain such absurdities to- day, brave and upright Leroux?
53937Who would dare maintain that woman is an inferior being, of whom man is the guide and beacon light?
53937Why are all those women who produce, while their husbands and sons enjoy and dissipate, destitute of the rights which the latter possess?
53937Why are intelligent women thus dissatisfied with so upright a man as Michelet?
53937Why do both sexes of the same species experience an attraction towards each other?
53937Why do not you do as much as they?
53937Why do the females, and often males among animals experience an inclination or attraction to take care of the young?
53937Why do we as well as the animals experience an inclination or attraction for certain kinds of food?
53937Why fix it?
53937Why he resembles a grandfather, an uncle, an aunt, a brother, a sister of one of the parents?
53937Why is your letter in contradiction with this doctrine?
53937Why many children resemble portraits which had attracted the attention of the mother?
53937Why negresses who conceive from a white, bring into the world a mulatto, oftenest with thick lips, a flat nose, and woolly hair?
53937Why not?
53937Why ought every field of occupation to be accessible to woman?
53937Why ought the testimony of woman to be admitted in all cases in which that of man is required?
53937Why ought woman to be admitted to academies and professional schools?
53937Why ought woman to have a place on the jury?
53937Why ought woman to have her place in boards of trade and mercantile associations?
53937Why ought woman to hold a place among civil functionaries?
53937Why ought women to receive the same national education as men?

15380Read and write for you, father? 15380 Some_ use_?
15380The Dinosaurs, my boy? 15380 Then why not marry and have children?
15380Then why,Praddy would reply,"do n''t you go and live with your mother?"
15380Think''ow good you was to your old father down in Wales,''i m as you called your father-- an''''oo''s to say''e was n''t? 15380 Vivie--_darling_--what do you want me to do?
15380Was it wise to bring her in?
15380Was n''t there once a firm,_ Fraser and Warren_, which set up to be some new dodge for establishing women in a city career?--Accountancy? 15380 Well, Nannie,"he said,"come for a gossip?"
15380Well, what is it?
15380Well: what you want?
15380What about?
15380What do you think about Religion, Viv old girl?
15380What was that?
15380What would be the good? 15380 What_ am_ I to do?"
15380Who are your friends?
15380Why are they sending you away?
15380Why should they who had done all the fighting have none of the loot?
15380Wo n''t you smoke?
15380You''ve brought a reprieve?
15380_ Mother_, I hope you have n''t missed me, have n''t been unwell?
15380''Army''dear, would you ask them to whistle for a taxi?
15380( He asks himself anxiously"Surely all that letter was burnt before she came in?")
15380( To Vivie)"Are you David Vavasour Williams?"
15380( To Vivie)"Do you know Mr. David Vavasour Williams, a barrister?"
15380("What about those peasants''stories?"
15380--"But my dear Miss--?"
15380--"Peg him down over a Driver Ants''nest?"
15380----,----,_ and_----?
15380----?"
15380Absence of mind-- I''ve left you three fat ones") Architect?
15380After her money?
15380An''then I''d punch''is''ead.... An''I do n''t reckon myself a soft-''earted feller as a rule.... Reklect that Shillito Case--?"
15380And Annie Kenney?
15380And Bertie Adams?
15380And Christabel?
15380And Gardner?
15380And Praddy?
15380And an old woman comes up and says in French,''Madame est Anglaise?''
15380And as to you?
15380And buttered toast-- or if you''ve got muffins...?
15380And did n''t she give you''refreshers,''as they call them, from time to time?
15380And have you ever remarked another thing about all paintings prior to the seventeenth century: how_ plain_, how_ ugly_ all the people are?
15380And if he must always be dining out and spending the evening with other people, why did he not make himself more''general?''
15380And the Pethick Lawrences?
15380And was she certain even of them?
15380And where did you pick her up?
15380And yet, I do n''t know?
15380And-- would you mind-- you always try, I know-- bringing the things in very quietly-- here--?
15380And_ he_ would n''t be such a fool as to have them bombed, would he?"
15380Any more gone wrong?"
15380Are n''t you over- trying your strength?
15380Are n''t_ they_ at certain times not their normal selves?
15380Are there fig trees in the Temple... still?
15380Are you equal to walking?
15380Are you interested in palæontology?"
15380Are you of London?"
15380As soon as political activities were resumed, the Conciliation Bill by the energies of the Liberal Whips was talked out( was n''t it?).
15380As thus:--_ Counsel for the prosecution_:"We have in you the mainspring of this rebellious movement..."_ Vivie_:"Have you?"
15380As to the United States: was their intervention going to be more than money loans and supplies of material?
15380At Pontyffynon?"
15380At any rate I want to help them to make an honest livelihood without depending on some one man.... Business seems to be good, eh?
15380Besides,_ is_ it horrible?
15380Both your voice and your face seem-- what should one say?
15380Bother all this cackle...._ Will_ you marry me?"
15380But I did remember one dream just before Michael went down to Newcastle to join you... was it about mermaids?
15380But I... hear... it... is... your mother... who is the owner... from long time, and you are her daughter newly arrived from England?
15380But Peace, you''d think, must come soon-- Seems like our poor old world is comin''to an end, do n''t it?
15380But as a matter of fact, when he came down to Cambridge in--?
15380But as she argued with Mrs. Warren, what else were they to do in their cruel situation?
15380But ca n''t you find a little time to be social?
15380But did you make any great effort to turn me from it?
15380But do you mean to say you have already started this masquerade?"
15380But either we have been rushed with business, or you''ve been anxious about Lady Fraser-- How is she?"
15380But how did you hear about him?"
15380But how?
15380But if Lady Vera and Lady Helen knew all this for a fact, why not tell the Police?
15380But if the New Woman_ is_ to go on the loose and be unmoral like the rabbits, wo n''t the cause suffer from middle- class opposition?"
15380But probably their language was such as would shock Nannie.... Supposing Frank Gardner did come to England?
15380But that as Rose and Lilian are going, Mrs.--what does she call herself, Claridge?"
15380But were they not being surrounded by a hostile Alliance?
15380But what about her luggage and her mother''s, and the remainder of the money?
15380But what interested me particularly was his next admission: how different you were as a lad-- rather more than the ordinary wild oats-- eh?
15380But what lunatic idea has entered your mind with regard to this poor waster?"
15380But you are rebel?"
15380But you could n''t say the places I supervise here and at Roquebrune are so bad?
15380But you will trust me, wo n''t you?
15380But you''ll let her know, wo n''t you, miss?...
15380But... will you marry me?
15380By the bye, my aunt was amnestied and so I suppose were you?"
15380By the bye,_ where_ and_ how_ did you come to meet Honoria first?"
15380Ca n''t I go and help every day in your hospitals?
15380Can I rely on Praddy?
15380Come and dine with us?
15380Come often and see us and look upon me-- I must be fifteen years older than you are-- What,_ twenty- four_?
15380Could Vivie see or communicate with Gräfin von Stachelberg?--with Pasteur Walcker?
15380Could that be her own Michael?
15380D''yer think_ I_ wanted to bother''er?
15380D''you know I''m on the verge of thirty- seven-- and I have no definite career?
15380D''you see?"
15380Did he believe his son was dead?"
15380Did his father know any such luminary of the law or any two such luminaries?
15380Did it mean the suffragette, Vivien Warren, who had sometimes been here, and in whose adventures her husband seemed so unbecomingly interested?
15380Did n''t you once have a pupil called Vavasour Williams?"
15380Did she really?
15380Did this kind lady know where a lodging could be obtained?
15380Did you ever hear of such a ridiculous name as Petworth?
15380Did you read those disgusting letters in the_ Times_ by the surgeon, the midwifery man, Sir Wrigsby Blane?
15380Do n''t you know me?
15380Do you ever hear from or of her now?"
15380Do you ever see him now?
15380Do you know any one in London, by the bye?"
15380Do you know, she and I quite altered after the War began?
15380Do you think you can rub along if I take my departure next week?
15380Do you understand?
15380Does everything seem to be going on all right?"
15380Et qu''ont- ils fait pour nous, les Anglais?
15380First, you are English?"
15380For instance, why not come and be introduced to Michael Rossiter?
15380For what is she notorious?"
15380From Villa Beau- séjour, Vivien Warren passed on to the Oudekens''farm, wondering what she would see-- Some fresh horror?
15380Gardner?"
15380Had David really returned to him?
15380Had Vivie before they left the hotel remembered to put some, at least, of this precious sum on her person?
15380Had he recovered after the Boers had taken Colesberg?
15380Had he-- er-- er-- many relations, I mean did he come of well- known people?"
15380Had n''t she once caught Mrs. Howel Williams kissing a young stranger behind a holly bush and was n''t that why Bridget had really been sent away?
15380Had she deserved this punishment by Fate?
15380Have they had no mothers, no sweethearts, no sisters, no wives?
15380Have you tried them?
15380Have_ they_ got ductless glands, she wonders?
15380He must be so exhausted...."And what about_ you_, miss?
15380He must now be no more than--58?
15380He must steep himself in the geography of South Africa-- Why not get Rossiter to propose him as a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society?
15380He need n''t know too much about me, d''yer see?
15380He seems awfully gone on you...?"
15380How did he fare in these times?
15380How did you think of it?")
15380How many months or years would lie ahead of him before fees could be gained and a professional income be earned?
15380How on earth did he become acquainted with this young man from South Wales?
15380How she would solace herself that her dividends were not derived from the prostitution of English girls but only of''foreigners''?..."
15380How soon was David coming down to see South Wales once more gloriously clothed with spring?
15380How would he find room for them, poor man?
15380How''d you have liked that, eh?
15380How''re the bruises?"
15380How_ can_ parents be so unthinking about Christian names?
15380How_ could_ I have left it?"
15380How_ could_ the Germans expect British women to turn against their own country in its hour of danger?
15380I agree with you in disliking all this sexuality..."_ Norie_:"Does one_ ever_ quite know why one likes people?
15380I always liked the smell of a smoking- room.... And your mother: how is she?"
15380I am mad with myself...""Are you, miss?
15380I could--""No, this is a Miss Vivien Warren--""Vivien?
15380I dare say you remember as a boy of fifteen or so spraining your ankle in Griffith''s Hole?
15380I do n''t know what you have in hand, but why not postpone your action till you are quite strong again?"
15380I doubt if he was aware he had a niece.... Do n''t you remember he was killed in the Alps last autumn?..."
15380I have never asked why-- a lawn- mowing machine?
15380I know, miss, if you get away from here you''ll look after her and my kids?
15380I like bein''respectable, but why_ will_ they always put me next a Bishop or an Archdeacon?
15380I mean, are you one of Boyd Dawkins''s party to examine the new cave on the Gower coast?"
15380I mean, that if your old man has not been exaggerating and that the difference between the naughty boy whom he sent up to London in-- what was it?
15380I must_ rush_ back at once.... You''ll excuse me?"
15380I only know that if we sinned against these human laws and conventions, your great career in Science-- and again, why in Science?
15380I presume you explained everything to the Colonial Office after you got back to London and that you are now free to take up a civil career?
15380I presume you''ve brought a lunch- basket?"
15380I sent you, Vivie-- a newspaper with the announcement of my marriage-- Dj''ever get it?"
15380I should have been an honest woman all the rest of me life...."What do_ you_ feel about morality?
15380I suppose he is n''t any relation?"
15380I suppose it is part of your make- up-- goes with the clothes and that turn- over collar, and the little safety pin through the tie--?"
15380I suppose the real heart- felt question at the back of your mind is:_ can_ I let you have a room?
15380I suppose the staff departed punctually at One?
15380I suppose you''ve been in prison for some Suffrage offence?
15380I suppose your father giv''you a bit of a shock?
15380I thought barristers had all that marked on their briefs?
15380I took him on in-- let me see?
15380I took quite a lot... for theatre tickets... and you may be suspecting Bertie Adams... we ca n''t call this an Adamless Eden, can we?
15380I wonder whether Linda would get to like me?"
15380I wonder why we keep an office boy and not an office girl?
15380I''m a bit stupidlike this evenin''... readin''too much.... May I stay and help you, Sir?
15380I''ve come home a very different David to the one that left you-- what was it?
15380If I am unreasonable what are_ they_?
15380If it were poison sent by the German Government, what matter?
15380If not perhaps this kind man would try to get us a cab...?"
15380If the first half of this year is equalled by the second, I should think there would be a profit to be divided of quite a thousand pounds?"
15380If the outer door of Michaelis''s office was locked how could Miss Kenney be expected to call and find this note awaiting her?
15380If we neglected blood stock we would deal the farmer a deadly blow, we should-- er-- You know the sort of argument?
15380If you could only say a word to that Colonel with whom you are living?"
15380Is all your money in English and Belgian securities?''
15380Is it not_ always_ thus with our friends and acquaintances?
15380Is it possible I might work up my acquaintance with that professor whom I met in the train?
15380Is it the portrait of a former wife?
15380Is it true that you struck a Cabinet minister the other day?
15380Is n''t it funny that a man should care so much about women getting the vote?
15380Is that the man you''re sweet on?"
15380Is this discipline necessary to the improvement of the race?
15380Is_ that_ why you know Xeres so well?"
15380It might be unkind, but then were we not unkind towards her father''s country, Ireland?
15380It was about_ you_--wasn''t that funny?
15380J''ever have a sister?"
15380Knowing what we British people are, ca n''t you almost predict the_ bias_ of Aunt Liz''s mind?
15380Lady Feenix''s?
15380Le nom Walcker?
15380Linda wondered whether_ she_ could do any indexing?
15380Madame had kept the Hotel Leopold II in the Rue Royale?
15380Mais ou sqnt les lauriers que réserve l''Histoire A celui qui demain forcera la Victoire?
15380Michael had wanted me to read Hans Andersen''s fairy stories-- don''t you think they''re pretty?
15380Michaelis?"
15380Might I ask if you are bound on the same errand as I am?
15380Mr. Lloyd George going to address a pro- Boer meeting at Aberystwith( was it?)
15380My appearance_ is_ rather Welsh, do n''t you think?
15380My gals used to come in here and find me cryin''as often as not....''Comment, Madame,''they used to say,''pourquoi pleurez vous?
15380Nicht wahr?
15380No, Vera?
15380No?
15380No?
15380Not well enough off?
15380Now dear, are you ready with that lymph?"
15380Or a bite from some passionate mistress in a buried past?
15380Or chained?
15380Or could Williams be spoony on Honoria?
15380Or have you only made it up?"
15380Or if you ai n''t reg''lar set on_''i m_, why not giv''up this suffrage business and live a bit with me here?
15380Or is the cruelty in human disciplinary laws?
15380Or of a sister who committed suicide?
15380Or was it merely bought in Venice for the sake of the carving?
15380Or why wait for that to marry?
15380Or:"Mike, could you cut that cake and hand it round?"
15380Perhaps the American Consul might help them?
15380Permettez que je vous fasse la meme piqure?"
15380Rossiter broke in:"Now what would you like to do in the afternoon, Miss Warren?
15380Rossiter_ to_ Frank Gardner_, archly:"I suppose you''ve come home to be married?"
15380Sam Gardner?
15380Shall not General Sir Petworth Armstrong die in the great débacle of the world- wide War?
15380Shall they call you a cab?
15380She burst out:"_ Have_ you seen the Red Placard they have just put up?"
15380She had a great friend-- what was it?
15380She had known plenty young couples marry and live very happily on Two hundred and fifty a year, and Mr. Williams must surely be earning that?
15380She is in the hall outside-- feels a little faint I think with shock-- might she-- might I?"
15380She lives twenty miles from here, at Gower-- and... and... there''s an end of it...."Now you wo n''t run away back to London till you''re obliged?
15380She often said about this time-- touching wood as she did so--"could any woman be happier?"
15380She opened her eyes to meet his, as he bent over her, and said with the ghost of an arch smile:"I-- have been-- of some use-- to you, haven''t-- I?
15380She seems to know a lot about Spain; but I do n''t feel encouraged to ask her:"Was your father in the wine trade?
15380She would in the approach to Christmas, 1909, look round and survey her happiness: could any one have a more satisfactory husband?
15380Should she even tell Rossiter?
15380Should she go on with the bold adventure?
15380Sie verstehen nicht Deutsch, gnädiges Fraulein?"
15380So she can-- have I not shown it by what I have done?
15380Sometimes however Michael at last roused to consciousness of the fretful little presence would say"What?
15380Sort of morganatic Queen?
15380Still... throw plenty of mud and some of it will stick.... And what_ was_ her full, true story?
15380Stockbroking?
15380Surely not putting my papers in order-- or rather disorder?
15380Sweety?
15380Tell me first, what really became of the real David Williams, the young man you met in the hospital and wrote to me about?"
15380The Polizei answered that they had none to give.... Might she accompany her friend?
15380The W.S.P.U.?
15380The life I lead, the people who come here?"
15380Their pleasant relations could thus continue-- perhaps-- who knows?--to the end of this War,"to that peace which will make us friends once more?"
15380Then after a pause he resumed:"I think you said you were going to Swansea?
15380These two sentences run over a period of-- what did I say?
15380They are talking of turning her out of her club because of the things she says before the waitresses..."_ Vivie_:"What things?"
15380They do say however she''s a great_ flirt_..."Indiscreet questions:"How much will you make out of this case?
15380Though we would n''t be without''em, would we?"
15380Three years ago Michael would have replied:"_ You?_ Nonsense, my dear.
15380Twin brother, perhaps; but had she one?..."
15380Violet?
15380Vivie?
15380Want any money?"
15380Warren?"
15380Warren?).
15380Warren_:"Dj''ever see yer Aunt Liz?"
15380Was Mr. Williams''s defence of Arbella so very wonderful as the evening papers said?
15380Was ever Ministry in a greater dilemma?
15380Was it a conspiracy into which they were luring her husband, already rather compromised as a man of science by his enthusiasm for the Suffrage cause?
15380Was it a reprieve?
15380Was she going to die soon and was there a hereafter?''
15380Was she handcuffed?
15380Was this to be a Church revival?
15380We had helped France to Morocco and Italy to Tripoli; why should we bother about Servia?
15380Well then, as to sex disqualification, a few weeks hence I shall become David Vavasour Williams, and I presume he was a male?
15380Well, I''ll be damned"( he was eventually)"I wonder whether the old gal had a son as well as that spitfire Vivie?!"
15380Well: what is the quarrel now?
15380Were the Germans to blame, she asked herself?
15380Were we very tender towards national independence in Egypt, in Persia?
15380What about Beryl?"
15380What about your Dinosaurs?
15380What an anxiety children were, were n''t they?
15380What are we to do?"
15380What business am I going specially to undertake in Mr. Michaelis''s office on the top storey of 88- 90?
15380What did she lack for happiness?
15380What did she wear when she was tried?"
15380What do you want me to do?
15380What do_ you_ dream about, Mr. Williams?
15380What happened then to Vivie?
15380What have you done with your duds?
15380What is it?"
15380What is the good of a peerage if it ends with your life?
15380What should you say if I_ did_ marry-- Major Armstrong...?
15380What silly notion have you got into your head?"
15380What was it like seeing her in prison?
15380What was that building now called?
15380What were they?"
15380What, then, have I to fear?
15380When are you going to get your call?"
15380When are you going to take me to Louvain?"
15380Where am I?
15380Where did_ Fraser and Warren_ have their office?
15380Where do you live?
15380Where is Mrs. Pankhurst?
15380Where should they go?
15380Where''s your luggage?
15380Where, if she did, were they to go?
15380Where, in this measureless universe-- which indeed might only be one of several universes-- was God to be found?
15380Who are_ you_ and what are you doing here?"
15380Who can say?
15380Who gave you the money to pay in to my-- to Vivie''s account?"
15380Who has given me that thousand pounds?"
15380Who shall describe the hats of 1910?--and before and since-- in all but the very poorest women?
15380Who was there to consult?
15380Why be so morose?
15380Why ca n''t they, with one so clever, shorten the term of probation?
15380Why could he not have gone straight home and rested_ there_?
15380Why did I go away?
15380Why did n''t Mr. Williams marry some nice girl and make a home for himself?
15380Why do n''t yer pick up a decent husband somewhere and drop all this foolishness about the Suffragettes?
15380Why do n''t you-- but perhaps you do?--join evening classes at the Polytechnic?--or at this new London School of Economics which is close at hand?
15380Why do you bother about Beryl?
15380Why do you look so solemn?
15380Why does he not marry and settle down?
15380Why have they such a bitter feeling against your sex?
15380Why may n''t we love where we please?
15380Why not come out and dine with me at the Hans Crescent Hotel?
15380Why not drop politics and take up philosophy?
15380Why quarrel with her fate?
15380Why was Michael Rossiter wedded to Linda Bennet when he was no more than twenty- five, and she just past her coming of age?
15380Why, what''s the matter?"
15380Why_ should_ we have wanted to be like men?...
15380Will you introduce me to our young friend here?"
15380Williams go abroad.... Do n''t you think there is something that ought to win over Providence in that happily chosen name?
15380Williams stood in the yellow light of the west window, reading a letter..."Cousin?
15380Wo n''t you do so?
15380Wo n''t you share it?"
15380Wodjer want to go fallin''in love with some chap as''as got a wife already?
15380Wonder''ow she came to be''ere?
15380Would Miss Warren care to come with me?"
15380Would he sometimes read aloud and sometimes write his letters, or even the finish of his History?
15380Would it be safe, d''you think, in that capacity to go down and see his old father?"
15380Would it not tend to prolong the War?
15380Would she ever turn against her nursling now, above all, when he was showing himself such a son to his old father?
15380Would they really supply the fighting men, the one thing at this crisis necessary to defeat Germany?
15380Would you mind showing him in here?
15380Yer know since I''ve made my peace with you...._ Ai n''t_ it a rum go, by the bye?
15380Yet why all this mystery?
15380You are surely joking-- what do you say?
15380You do n''t have to pass a medical examination for the Bar, do you?"
15380You do n''t know?
15380You done good wherever you went... to my pore mother-- wonder, by the bye, what_ she_ thinks and''ow_ she''s_ gettin''on?
15380You have?
15380You introduce all manner of irrelevant matter--"_ Counsel_:"You decline to answer my questions?"
15380You know as well as I do that in most cases it makes little or no difference; and if it does, what about men?
15380You know his address in Wales?
15380You know how she grappled with that Norfolk estate business?"
15380You know they howked him out of Woodcote?
15380You know those Charles Davis shares I bought at 5_s._ 3_d._?
15380You pull my leg?
15380You remember, Praddy?
15380You understand?"
15380You will believe me when I say I''ve done_ nothing_ wrong, nothing that you, if you knew all the facts, would call wrong...?"
15380You''ll always love me, wo n''t you?
15380_ Blackbeard_:"What were you doing there?"
15380_ Counsel_( to Vivie):"You heard my questions?"
15380_ Counsel_:"Have you spoken of him as your cousin?"
15380_ Counsel_:"Well-- er-- a member of the Bar-- well known in the criminal courts-- Shillito case--"_ Judge_:"Really?
15380_ Counsel_:"Well-- er-- for being associated abroad with-- er-- a certain type of hotel synonymous with a disorderly house--"_ Vivie_:"Indeed?
15380_ D.V._ Williams?
15380_ David_:"You mean it did n''t come from those''Hotels''?"
15380_ Father_:"Ah it''s Rossiter who puts all these ideas into your head, is it?"
15380_ Frank_:"My story?
15380_ Hawk_:"What was your crime?"
15380_ He_ gave it to me-- you know whom I mean by''_ He_''?
15380_ Honoria_:"Well, about Beryl?"
15380_ I_ understand you are_ the_ Miss Warren, the Miss Warren who make the English Government afraid, nicht wahr?
15380_ Judge_, interposing with a weary air:"_ Who_ is David Williams?"
15380_ Norie_ continues:"Do you remember Beryl Clarges at Newnham?"
15380_ Norie_:"How_ is_ she?
15380_ Norie_:"I remember your going down to see your aunt after you broke off relations with your mother in-- in--1897...?"
15380_ Norie_:"I suppose you are not refusing him for the same old reason-- that vague suggestion that he might be your half- brother?"
15380_ Norie_:"So you really_ are_ going to take the plunge?"
15380_ Praed_:"What, David, the Welsh boy?
15380_ Quelle_ clientele, et pas chiche''--I suppose you understand French?
15380_ Rossiter_:"You forget, dearie, you''ve got to open that Bazaar in Marylebone Town Hall--"_ Linda_:"Oh, have I?
15380_ Surely_ you will let me go up to our room and pack it-- and take it away?
15380_ Vivie_( flushing in the firelight):"Does he?
15380_ Vivie_:"But those papers on my desk?
15380_ Vivie_:"How''s your mother?"
15380_ Why_ did you do this?
15380_ Why_ did you risk your life to come here;_ oh why, oh why_?"
15380_ Why_ do they drive us to these extremes?
15380_ Will_ you marry me?"
15380_ what_ did I say?
15380_ why_ are we tortured like this?
15380_ why_ was n''t_ I_ there, instead of in the House?
15380client?
15380no relation-- was Miss Warren...."What, one of the Warrens of Huddersfield?
15380off-- I dare say you remember it?
15380what is all the fuss about?
15380what?
15380when?
15380why do you tolerate such people and why prostitute your studio to such unwholesome art?"
15380why?"
30855''Ow_ can_ you, sir?
30855?
30855A hundred?
30855After the board?
30855All right?
30855Altogether?
30855And did she?
30855And have n''t we provided it,_ damn_ them?
30855And if we look in-- shall we see hosts and regiments of mushrooms? 30855 And is that Eleanor now or Ellen or-- is there any other name that gives one Ella?
30855And of whom are you going to enquire?
30855And she is dead?
30855And what is it exactly that is to take the place of these isolated little homes and these dreary little lodgings? 30855 And what may that be?"
30855And what shall we do when we get there?
30855Are n''t I always at your service?
30855Are n''t they all rather surprised?
30855Are you thinking of any new branches, Isaac?
30855Are you_ George_ Brumley?
30855Besides,said Mrs. Pembrose,"what else can one do?"
30855Bull mastiff?
30855But I do n''t like to think----Aren''t Great Men after all-- great?
30855But Susan----You do n''t mean that anyone, anyone who''s really honest-- might get into trouble?
30855But ca n''t I see her-- just for a moment?
30855But could n''t he have got work again-- as a baker?
30855But did she call on me?
30855But did you see Sir Isaac?
30855But does n''t it distress you highly, Mr. Brumley,one of the Perth ladies asked,"to be leaving Euphemia''s Home to strangers?
30855But how much do the girls get a week?
30855But how old are the girls they send out?
30855But how, Lady Harman? 30855 But how?"
30855But how?
30855But how_ could_ such a thing have happened?
30855But if no one found out,said Lady Harman,"how do you know?"
30855But surely; is n''t his name enough?
30855But was n''t it wretched in prison? 30855 But what are you going to do with this house?"
30855But what do they do?
30855But what do you mean, Isaac?
30855But what should I have to do?
30855But what, Mr. Brumley, what is to become of the landladies?
30855But where can I escape?
30855But where''s she gone, Snagsby?
30855But where,asked Lady Harman,"could such a thing be done?"
30855But where? 30855 But where?"
30855But why did n''t you come to me?
30855But why?
30855But you, Susan?
30855But,protested Mr. Brumley,"would men marry under those conditions?"
30855But,said Lady Harman slowly, not advancing and pointing incredulously at the unwinking stare that met her own,"is he dead?
30855But,she asked,"have n''t they always mattered?"
30855But-- what are you going to do?
30855But-- what can you do?
30855But-- when will she be at home?
30855Ca n''t we talk about it to Mrs. Pembrose? 30855 Can you suppose for a moment that these things conduce to self- control, to reserve, to consistency, to any of the qualities of a trustworthy man?...
30855Chasing you? 30855 Could n''t you,"he said at last,"go somewhere?"
30855Dead?
30855Did n''t I say they were?
30855Did she talk to you?
30855Do n''t you see what''s the matter?
30855Do n''t you?
30855Do n''t you_ know_?
30855Do you mind,she asked abruptly,"if I smoke?"
30855Do you really think----?
30855Do you think,she asked in a small voice and with the hesitation of one whom no refusal can surprise;"you could give me a cup of tea?"
30855Do you understand nothing of_ love_?
30855Do you understand, Agatha? 30855 Do you want him at once?"
30855Eh?
30855Est- il mauvais?
30855Everything all right, Snagsby?
30855Father''s inquest?
30855Gone?
30855Got a kiss for me, Elly?
30855Have I ever refused you money?
30855Have you been interested in this building?
30855Have you found that work yet?
30855He haggles?
30855He''s-- hard?
30855Health?
30855Here they are, you see, right and ready,said Sir Isaac, and then with an inspiration,"Got any tea for us, Snagsby?"
30855Here,said Sir Isaac,"ca n''t I get off?
30855How are you feeling this afternoon?
30855How can one suddenly turn on a friend?
30855How could such a thing have come about?
30855How did that chap get in?
30855How do you know?
30855How far,he asked,"is it from the nearest railway station?..."
30855How many were there of you altogether?
30855How_ does_ one sell jewels?
30855I ask you what''s my business got to do with you? 30855 I suppose you do n''t know,"she began, addressing Susan''s industrious back;"you do n''t know who-- who owns these International Stores?"
30855I suppose,she said,"you''ve come to see over the place?"
30855I thought,he said after a silent scrutiny, and left her to imagine what he had thought...."But,"he urged to her protracted silence,"you_ care_?"
30855I-- I suppose it''s all Right, dear, now?
30855I----Are you looking at the house?
30855If I want things done? 30855 If she wo n''t?"
30855In any case?
30855Into-- I do n''t quite understand-- what business?
30855Is Sir Isaac----?
30855Is a wife to be on no better footing than a daughter? 30855 Is anything the matter?"
30855Is dear Sir Isaac at home?
30855Is n''t it bad for them?
30855Is n''t there a paper,she asked,"called the_ London Lion_?"
30855Is she beautiful?
30855Is that all you want me to do?
30855Is that_ the_ Agatha Alimony?
30855Is there----Is there someone else?
30855Is this Black Strands?
30855Is this likely to be a good thing at all?
30855Isaac!--where are we going?
30855It''s all right, is n''t it?
30855It''s disheartening, is n''t it?
30855Just take this paper to Mrs. Sawbridge,he said,"and ask her what she thinks of it?"
30855Lady Beach- Mandarin called here----"But when?
30855Lady Harman back yet?
30855Lady Harman,_ what_ has he explained?
30855Lady Harman?
30855Morally?
30855Mr. Brumley, is there a Tube station near here?
30855Mr. Brumley,she said, looking up at him,"have you no thought for our Hostels?"
30855Must we start at once, Clarence?
30855My favourite flower?
30855NO?
30855Neo----?
30855Now how long is that really?
30855Now?
30855Now_ where_?
30855Or perhaps a Thoroughly Vicious collie?
30855Perhaps you know my little Euphemia books? 30855 Pretty?"
30855See Sir Isaac?
30855Shall I place the tea- things in the garden, me lady?
30855Shall I telegraph?
30855She''s been here?
30855Sir Isaac Harman?
30855Sir Isaac?
30855Sir Isaac?
30855Someone else on my side?
30855Someone else?
30855Something,he said, and his face was deadly white--"_Some other man, Elly?_"She was suddenly crimson, a flaming indignation.
30855Taxi, milady?
30855Then he''s not the conventional vulgarian?
30855Then they_ are_ my hostels?
30855Then why did you come here to ask me about it?
30855There is n''t a man?
30855These are Awful questions,he gasped,"rather beyond Us do n''t you think?"
30855This is Black Strands?
30855Waiter,he said,"how do the trains run from here to Putney?"
30855Well,cried Sir Isaac,"why in goodness could n''t you tell me that before, Elly?
30855Well,--it''s your theory, you know-- bad characters?
30855What about?
30855What are you going to do with me then?
30855What can make you think----?
30855What could one infer about a wife from a man like that? 30855 What did you say, Isaac?"
30855What do such things matter,he cried,"when a man is in love?"
30855What do you mean to do?
30855What do you mean?
30855What do you suspect? 30855 What do you think you can do, Lady Harman?
30855What else could they be?
30855What ever d''you mean,he cried,"by making a fool of me in front of those fellers?...
30855What exactly has Georgina done?
30855What had he got to say to you?
30855What have I_ done_?
30855What is it, Isaac?
30855What right have you to open my letter?
30855What the Devil do you mean,he cried,"by chasing me all round the garden?"
30855What the_ devil_?
30855What trouble?
30855What was father to_ do_?
30855What who want?
30855What you been thinking about, Elly,he asked,"subscribing to_ that_ thing?"
30855What''s this? 30855 What, dear?"
30855What?
30855Where have I seen our friend to the left before?
30855Where have you been?
30855Where the devil you been? 30855 Where you been?"
30855Where you been?
30855Where''s Ellen gone?
30855Where''s she got to? 30855 Where?"
30855Who''s going to watch you? 30855 Why is n''t she back?"
30855Why not make Hostels, Lady Harman, for married couples? 30855 Why?"
30855Will you be going back, sir?
30855With_ her_?
30855Wo n''t_ you_ come on our Committee?
30855Yes,he expostulated;"but these Hostels, these Hostels.... We''ve started them-- isn''t that good enough?
30855Yes,said Susan after various explanations and exhibitions,"but where''s the home in it?"
30855You ca n''t?
30855You go to meetings, and try to get to the bottom of Movements, and you want to meet and know the people who write the wonderful things? 30855 You have n''t called?"
30855You know what we are doing?
30855You mean?
30855You really think you would like us to have that house?
30855You think it is likely to answer?
30855You''re sure I can do nothing for you, mummy?
30855You''ve known her a long time?
30855You''ve not made her----?
30855You''ve not taken a house?
30855You''ve seen her again?
30855You-- you write----the lady stopped, and then diverted a question that she perhaps considered too blunt,"there?"
30855Your trouble with your waitresses is over, Sir Isaac?
30855_ Did_ she?
30855_ Dum----? 30855 _ How?_"he asked compactly.
30855_ See?_he said.
30855_ Still?_"No one better,said Mr. Brumley.
30855_ What''s_ beautiful?
30855_ What''s_ noble? 30855 _ What?_"he asked sharply.
30855_ You''ll_ take a cup of tea?
30855( She was standing behind Mr. Brumley so that he could not see her but-- did their eyes meet?)
30855( Should he ask for credit?
30855("Now where are we going out to lunch?"
30855(_ Why should n''t she?_ It would no doubt make Sir Isaac furiously angry-- if he heard of it.
30855A birthday present of all presents is surely one''s very own?
30855A man perhaps?
30855After all, did n''t she owe obedience?
30855All my life is comic-- the story of this-- this last absurdity could it make anything but a comic history?
30855All round the garden?"
30855And an infrequent service?
30855And as for Harman----?
30855And as for the articles themselves, what became of them?
30855And besides, from whom could she borrow?...
30855And had he ever had his desire or his hope, or felt the intensities of life?
30855And he''s giving up the Academic Committee, is he?
30855And if you''re going to have a lot of friends I have n''t got, where''re they coming to see you?
30855And she was all in a flurry for going on.... Did you come down, Mr. Brumley, to see if Lady Harman was ill?"
30855And then blushing vividly:"I''ve got lots of_ things_.... Susan, have you ever pawned anything?"
30855And then with an air of being meticulously explicit,"I mean, is n''t there somewhere, where you might safely go?"
30855And what''s this?"
30855And when I tell him you are here he will want to see you.... You will come up and see him?"
30855And who more worthy of patronage than William Shakespear?
30855And why had she let it happen?
30855And_ how_ is dear Lady Harman?"
30855Are these watchers and trackers sometimes driven to buying things in shops?
30855Bit more sensible than suffragetting, eh, Elly?"
30855Blenker?"
30855Brumley?"
30855Brumley?"
30855Brumley?"
30855Brumley?"
30855Brumley?"
30855But I can hardly expect you to be interested in my troubles, can I?"
30855But I do so wish----Have you seen those great borders at Hampton Court?
30855But all the same,--though they''re mine,--_still_----Why should n''t a woman have work in the world, Mr. Brumley?
30855But ca n''t I perhaps take you in a taxi?"
30855But if I''m to advise----If my advice is to be worth anything....""Yes?"
30855But if these things were not real, what was real?
30855But it was the sort of thing other women of her class did; did n''t all the novels testify?
30855But need ours be?"
30855But that do n''t account for your being out to eight, does it?
30855But the benefits were plain enough, space, light, baths, association, reasonable recreations, opportunities for improvement----"But freedom?"
30855But then,----the Hostels?...
30855But what could you have expected?"
30855But what hope was there of her?
30855But where-- where did he keep them?...
30855Byzantine, with the gold of life stolen and the swans changed to geese?
30855Ca n''t we carry her off right away, Mr. Brumley?
30855Can a woman stay alone at an hotel?
30855Could Isaac be going mad?
30855Could Mr. Brumley give her that?
30855Could anyone else have helped him?
30855Could it be he was in pain again?
30855Could it be that that hood really concealed her?
30855Could it be?...
30855Could n''t you come next Saturday afternoon?
30855Could she have helped him?
30855Could they guess?
30855Did he mean to attempt-- Petruchio?
30855Did n''t she in fact owe him the whole marriage service contract?
30855Did n''t she owe him a subordinate''s co- operation?
30855Did n''t you see him too, Susan?"
30855Did she in any way_ look_--as though----?"
30855Did she?
30855Did they guess?
30855Did you know he had mistresses?
30855Do jewellers buy jewels as well as sell them?
30855Do n''t you know, Lady Harman, that it''s your wifely duty to obey, to do as I say, to behave as I wish?"
30855Do n''t you know, have n''t you an idea?
30855Do n''t you think so?"
30855Do n''t you_ see_?...
30855Do you know, dear, I really think-- if I were to go for a little time to Bournemouth----?"
30855Do you mind?"
30855Does one send to the papers?
30855During that time had he ever talked to a girl or woman with an unembarrassed sincerity?
30855Eh?
30855Eh?
30855Empty?
30855Get at the wonderful core of it?"
30855H''m.... And what sort of people do we get about here?"
30855Had he after all rather overloaded his memory of her real self with imaginative accessories?
30855Had he anything to put beside her own fine detachment?
30855Had he ever said or thought any really sweet or tender thing-- even about her?
30855Had he ever suspected how alien?
30855Had it ever been?
30855Had she really understood what he had been saying to her in the garden?
30855Have n''t you any idea at all?"
30855Have n''t you seen him?
30855Have you read Gissing''s_ Paying Guest_?..."
30855Have you seen them?
30855He perceived now with the astonishment of a man newly awakened just how the great obsession of sex had dominated him-- for how many years?
30855He was really astonished,"Your_ own_?"
30855He went and rapped at her door but after one muffled"Who''s that?"
30855He went to his desk and wrote:--"_ My Dear, I want you to marry me._"What more was to be said?
30855He----How can you imagine, Isaac----?
30855How after all was she going to do things, with not a penny in the world to do them with?
30855How can I be associated with that?
30855How can anyone hope to escape?
30855How can you_ ask_ me such a thing?"
30855How can_ you_ tell what''s right and what is n''t right?
30855How could he deny his complicity?
30855How does one send to the papers?
30855How far would he follow her and was it possible to shake him off?
30855How long was it absolutely necessary for people to keep a home together for their children?
30855How the Devil was I to get away, once she was through the verandah?
30855How was father to know?..."
30855How was_ he_ to know?
30855How?"
30855I am not in the least sorrowful or helpless...."But,"said Mr. Brumley,"are you so free?"
30855I do n''t know if you found that in Venice?"
30855I suppose there are n''t any_ literary_ people about here, musicians or that kind of thing, no advanced people of that sort?"
30855I suppose you come a great deal into London, Lady Harman?"
30855I suppose----Wouldn''t it be sometimes kinder if you took over the old shop-- made a sort of partner of him, or something?"
30855If I want things altered?"
30855If I was n''t in the garden, then where the Devil was I?
30855If a certain separation from Mr. Brumley''s assiduous aid was demanded, was it too great a sacrifice?
30855If he bought those socks, would they appear in Sir Isaac''s bill?
30855If she gave way to this outrageous restriction to- day, what fresh limitations might not Sir Isaac impose to- morrow?
30855If she went up and down on this, she wanted to know what he would do, would he run up and down the fixed flight?
30855If you would care----?"
30855In 1899 nobody would have dreamt of asking and in 1909 even Mr. Brumley was asking,"Are things going on much longer?"
30855Is he really dead?
30855Is there no way----?"
30855It would include Mrs. Pembrose.... Do n''t you see what would happen?
30855It''s a house on Putney Hill, is n''t it, where this Christian maiden, so to speak, is held captive?
30855It''s good- bye-- and why-- why should n''t I go now?"
30855It''s the home that we are going to alter and replace-- and what is it like?"
30855Lady Harman heard a large aside to Lady Viping:"Is n''t she perfectly lovely?"
30855Like that?"
30855Many rooms are there?"
30855May I enquire into it for you?
30855Meanwhile?
30855Might I borrow half a sovereign?"
30855Might it be possible after dark to approach the house?
30855Might she not at least have saved him his suspicion?
30855More than you do for your husband?..."
30855Mr. Brumley appeared attentive and then he said again:"But where have I seen him?"
30855Mr. Brumley, what has a married woman to do with love?
30855Natural for your sister, but why should you?
30855No officers about?...
30855Nothing in any way suburban?
30855Nothing nearer than Aldershot.... That''s eleven miles, is it?
30855Once at least he must have loved her?
30855Only, why should I pretend?
30855See?
30855See?
30855See?
30855See?
30855See?
30855See?"
30855See?"
30855She had never realized before that he was pitiful.... Had she perhaps feared him too much, disliked him too much to deal fairly with him?
30855She knew his address?
30855She''s just a human, kindly little woman.... She''ll feel disgraced.... How can I let a thing like that occur?"
30855Should he go in a state of virile resolution, force her hesitation as a man should?
30855Should he still be formal, still write to"Dear Lady Harman,"or suddenly break into a new warmth?
30855Should he write to her forthwith?
30855Should she speak to him at the end of dinner?
30855Should she speak to him while Snagsby was in the room?
30855Should she still let the lawyer come out?
30855Simply Ella?"
30855So will you take me and put me in a green chair and-- tell me how afterwards I can find the Tube and get home?
30855Some man that you care for?
30855Something within herself seemed to answer,"But did n''t you know this all along?"
30855Surely she must have understood----"But the waitress strike-- what has it got to do with the waitress strike?"
30855Tell me, tell me exactly,_ why_ have you run away?
30855That question originally put in Paradise,"Why should n''t we?"
30855That roof,--a gardener''s cottage?...
30855The bill was five shillings( Should he dispute it?
30855The very under- housemaids were saying:"Where_ ever_ can her ladyship''ave got to?"
30855There is n''t something been going on that I do n''t know?"
30855There''s social work, there''s interests----Am I never to take any part-- in that?"
30855Think_ I_''ve had no temptations?...
30855This friendship has been going on----How can I end it suddenly?"
30855To take some odd trunks with her, meet him somewhere, travel, travel through the evening, travel past nightfall?
30855Was Lady Beach- Mandarin implicated?
30855Was all this world a mere make- believe, and would Miss Beeton Clavier and every one about her presently cast aside a veil?
30855Was anyone?
30855Was death perhaps no more than the flinging off of grotesque outer garments by the newly arrived guests at the feast of living?
30855Was he a married man?
30855Was he very much away from home?
30855Was it conceivable he would carry sacrifice to such a pitch as that?...
30855Was it impossible to do that by going back to the front door of Black Strand?
30855Was it perhaps in other planets, under those wonderful, many- mooned, silver- banded skies?
30855Was n''t it her business to study out- of- the- way types?
30855Was n''t it miserably cold?
30855Was that impropriety?
30855Was that perhaps it?
30855Was that violence?
30855Was there anything she could have done that she had not done?
30855We''ve set them going....""Do you know,"she asked,"what would happen to the hostels if I were to marry?"
30855Were there ever disputes about his expenses?...
30855What after all did he get for it?...
30855What am I that I should expect to be anything but a thwarted lover, a man mocked by his own attempts at service?
30855What are people-- what are women tied up in such a way to do?"
30855What becomes of the people if they do get hurt?"
30855What could it be like?
30855What could the man mean about unscheduled crime?
30855What did he earn?
30855What did he really think of these places?
30855What did he think of Susan Burnet''s idea of ruined lodging- house keepers?
30855What do you mean by it?"
30855What do you mean?
30855What do you think?
30855What do_ you_ know of the rights and wrongs of business?
30855What does one have to do when one''s husband is dead?
30855What does one marry a wife for?
30855What else can you do?
30855What else in honour was there but to be a wife up to the hilt?...
30855What else was there to do but be patient?
30855What girl''s going to feel at home in a strange place like that?"
30855What had he decided so far?
30855What had you thought?"
30855What honest over- nurse was there for him or helper and guide and friend for them, if she withdrew?
30855What is to become of them?
30855What might n''t he do next?
30855What might she not presently be?
30855What might she not presently do?
30855What more was to be said or thought about it?
30855What ought to be the marriageable age in a civilized community?
30855What possible divorce law could the wit of man devise that would release a desired woman from that-- grip?
30855What should she do to- morrow?
30855What the deuce do you think you''ve been getting up to?"
30855What was it?
30855What was it?
30855What was she thinking of?
30855What was she, what did she know of the world into which she wanted to rush?
30855What was the matter with him?
30855What was there in Byzantium to parallel with the electric light, the electric tram, wireless telegraphy, aseptic surgery?
30855What would he do to- morrow?
30855What''s autonomy?
30855What''s been putting ideers into your head?
30855What''s life or anything but that?
30855What''s my business got to do with you?"
30855What''s the matter with you, Elly?
30855What''s this other thing here?
30855Where could they go if they struck?
30855Where else could I be?
30855Where else_ could_ I be?"
30855Where had she got to?
30855Where the devil----?"
30855Where''s she gone?
30855Where?"
30855Who was she to turn upon her appointed life and declare it was n''t good enough?
30855Why had she come back again?
30855Why had she let it happen?
30855Why had she not done as much years ago?
30855Why not?
30855Why not?"
30855Why should I escape?
30855Why should I expect to discover beauty and think that it wo n''t be snatched away from me?
30855Why should n''t he?
30855Why should n''t some of us this very afternoon----?"
30855Why should she want to go away from her husband, go meeting other people, go gadding about?
30855Why should you want to go out after things?
30855Why, after all, should n''t she take life as she found it, that is to say, as Sir Isaac was prepared to give it to her?
30855Within her pretty head, her mind rushed to and fro saying"Brumley?
30855Would Mr. Brumley give her that?
30855Would he have to be embalmed?
30855Would he never be human and passionate and sincere?
30855Would he speak to her at breakfast or should she speak first to him?...
30855Would he try to watch them all?
30855Yet what other wall in all the world was there for Lady Harman to set her back against?
30855You follow all this, Lady Harman?"
30855You said something?"
30855You''re going to all these places-- how?
30855You''re sure, Mr. Brumley, I''m not invading your time?"
30855_ I!_ How can you dare?
30855_ That''s_ a curious side development, is n''t it?"
30855_ That_--that which you spoke of; what has it to do with me?"
30855are you wise?
30855asked Mr. Brumley,"and how?"
30855he blundered,"you aren''t-- you are n''t getting somehow-- not fond of me?"
30855he cried,"what have I done?
30855he said,"is n''t it?"...
30855in clear commanding tones whenever you suppose her to be within earshot?
30855my lady?"
30855or"What ails Portsmouth?"
30855she asked,--"_the_ George Brumley?"
30855she said,"what do you_ mean_?
30855she said,"you do n''t mean you''ve run away?"
30855there is n''t something below all this?
30855what words are there for"taken worse"?
15788Youmeaning, for instance... what authorities in the Church?
15788A priesthood of women too?
15788After all he''s not there in the room, is he?
15788After six years of office, who would n''t?
15788All I ask of myself is... can I pay Fate on demand?
15788Am I?
15788And Trebell...[_ He speaks through his teeth._]... do you think your accession to power in the party is popular at the best?
15788And am I to conclude that you do n''t want Charles to change his mind?
15788And are you the power behind your brother, Miss Trebell?
15788And been suspected of the malpractice myself if he''d found it out?
15788And do they still think it worth while to administer an oath to your witnesses?
15788And if I do n''t fight... it''d be no fun for you, I suppose?
15788And is that a reproach or a compliment?
15788And that speech at Leeds was the crowning move I suppose; just asking the Nonconformists to bring things to a head?
15788And then what we must do is to give the children power over their teachers?
15788And then?
15788And they do n''t?
15788And think now... whatever love there may be between us has neither hatred nor jealousy in it, has it, Henry?
15788And was n''t your bill going to be such a good piece of work?
15788And what exactly do you mean by that?
15788And what has become of your ideal?
15788And what would be left of me at all I should like to know?
15788And what''s all this nonsense about going to the country again next year?
15788And you took all the adventures as seriously as the Don did?
15788And... oh, was n''t I right?...
15788Anyone coming?
15788Are n''t they coming to dinner?
15788Are there to be facilities for_ any_ of the teachers giving dogmatic instruction?
15788Are we so incompetent?
15788Are you busy, Henry?
15788Are you doctoring him for once?
15788Are you in for perjury, too?
15788Are you in trouble?
15788Are you joking?
15788Are you serious?
15788As well here as by moonlight?
15788Because of...?
15788Been here long?
15788Billiards, Lucy?
15788Bit of a charlatan, do n''t you think?
15788But are we never to be happy and irresponsible... never for a moment?
15788But do both of you consider how valuable, how vital Trebell is to us just at this moment?
15788But how long do you think the spirit stays near the body... how long?
15788But marriage is a very general and complete sort of partnership, is n''t it?
15788But since Mrs. O''Connell is dead what is the excuse for a scandal?
15788But supposing Mallaby and the Nonconformists had n''t been able to force the Liberals''hand?
15788But tell me this... what education besides marriage does a woman get?
15788But what did Nature care for that?
15788But what has been the matter?
15788But what makes you so sure?
15788But you saw him, Farrant... and he gave you his opinion, did n''t he?
15788But you would admit, would n''t you, that we can only deal with temporal things?
15788But, again... have I been wrong to shrink from personal relations with Mr. Trebell?
15788Ca n''t you open your heart like a child again?
15788Ca n''t you see any wrinkles?
15788Can I do nothing?
15788Can I see him?
15788Can nothing further be done?
15788Can one impose a clever idea upon men and women?
15788Can she?
15788Can you accept thoroughly now the secular solution for all Primary Schools?
15788Can you forecast the opinion you will have of it six months hence?
15788Can you understand that?
15788Can you?
15788Can you?
15788Can your cousins and aunts make it so awkward for you, Horsham?
15788Cantelupe... what does perjury to that extent mean to a Roman Catholic?
15788Could n''t you have kept the true state of the case from Sir Fielding?
15788Could we not go and stay there only for a few days?
15788D''you know her husband?
15788D''you know why really I went back on the Liberals over this question?
15788D''you think I have n''t tried?
15788D''you think I--?
15788D''you think life is a bit like them?
15788Dead because she was afraid to bear your child, is n''t she?
15788Demonstrating something with a... what''s that thing?
15788Did her husband arrive in time?
15788Did n''t Lord Charles want you to send the boys there till they were ready for Harrow?
15788Did n''t you say she came to you first of all?
15788Did she mind much?
15788Did you expect Mr. Blackborough to get on well with Henry?
15788Did you expect Percival''s objection to the finance of the scheme?
15788Did you have a good holiday?
15788Did you hear Lord Horsham at dinner on the lack of dignity in an irreligious state?
15788Did you notice the light in my window as you came in?
15788Do n''t I look a wreck?
15788Do n''t you leave them to Mr. Kent?
15788Do n''t you like her, Lady Davenport?
15788Do n''t you see it''s only now that you''ve become a person of some importance to the world... and why?
15788Do n''t you think an aristocracy of brains is the best aristocracy, Miss Trebell?
15788Do n''t you think that is only sarcasm, Mr. O''Connell?
15788Do n''t you think you''d better go and finish dressing?
15788Do n''t you think, Cyril, it would be wiser to prevent your man coming into the room at all while we''re discussing this?
15788Do people know?
15788Do they place any time- limit to the effect of a mortal sin?
15788Do you all mean to out- face the British Lion with me after to- morrow... dare to be Daniels?
15788Do you expect me to go through with this?
15788Do you feel justified in making public use of it?
15788Do you find me so?
15788Do you hear Aunt Mary wants to sell the Burford Holbein?
15788Do you know how empty I feel of all virtue at this moment?
15788Do you never wonder if it is n''t steering you?
15788Do you really think everyone has gone to bed?
15788Do you remember?
15788Do you think I did n''t know that I was heartless and that she was socially in the wrong?
15788Do you think he''d develop into anything else... but for me?
15788Do you think it right, Julia, to finish with that after an hour''s Bach?
15788Do you think it wise to leave agnostic science at the side of the plate?
15788Do you think my daughter has been wasting her time and her tact?
15788Do you think the things you like to have taught in schools are any use to one when one comes to deal with you?
15788Do you think the world is grown up enough to do without dogma?
15788Do you think they do n''t take their revenge sooner or later?
15788Do you think they''ve met...?
15788Do you want the chances?
15788Do you want the curtains drawn back?
15788Do you?
15788Does he definitely disagree?
15788Does he drink too?
15788Does he like leading his party?
15788Does he think so now?...
15788Does it matter so much to you that I should have wished to be the father of your child?
15788Does it work?
15788Does my unworthiness then... if you like to call it so... make you unworthy now?
15788Does n''t Blackborough mean to turn up at all?
15788Does yours, Charles?
15788Eh... O''Connell?
15788Eh?
15788Evans?
15788Evans?
15788FRANCES TREBELL... Cantelupe?
15788Fanny... how fond are you of Amy O''Connell?
15788Fanny... will it leave you so very lonely?
15788Farrant, you do n''t seriously think that... outside his undoubted capabilities... Trebell is an acquisition to the party?
15788Forward to what?
15788Four years?
15788From what motives have we thrown Trebell over?
15788Full of dust?
15788Had I better give you a sleeping draught?
15788Had I better go round myself and see him?
15788Had I the right to choose or had I not?
15788Had Trebell any foreknowledge of what she did and the risk she was running and could he have stopped it?
15788Has she told you so?
15788Have I anything else in the world?
15788Have I found you in this the beginnings of a new one?
15788Have I stolen from Robespierre too?
15788Have n''t we always preferred it to the undenominational?
15788Have you anything better to do?
15788Have you made up your mind to that?
15788Have you not?
15788He goes quickly as if it were an answer to his anxiety._"Yes?"
15788He should have enquired into my character first, should n''t he, Cantelupe?
15788He''s Roman Catholic, is n''t he?
15788He''s very fond of me, if that''s what you mean?
15788Henry, have you at last managed to overwork yourself?
15788How are you, Cantelupe?
15788How are you, Dr. Wedgecroft?
15788How are you, Mrs. O''Connell?
15788How are you?
15788How can a man understand?
15788How d''you do, Doctor?
15788How d''you do?
15788How do you do, Miss Trebell?
15788How do you do?
15788How do you know you''ve the power of recovery?
15788How does he stomach me in prospect as a colleague, so far?
15788How else could I tell Horsham that my work matters?
15788How else?
15788How ill is he?
15788How long have I before Lord Charles--?
15788How long were we together that night?
15788How should I know?
15788How was Trebell''s guilt discovered?
15788How?
15788Hullo... waiting?
15788I could n''t have stopped it, could I?
15788I did... of that affair of his with Mrs. Parkington... years ago?
15788I do deserve them, do n''t I?
15788I do n''t think I have been the cause of your dropping Trebell, have I?
15788I have n''t been long there and back, have I?
15788I have n''t been much of an interruption now, have I?
15788I know that if your God did n''t make use of men, sins and all... what would ever be done in the world?
15788I mean, till this election is over Trebell counts still as one of them, does n''t he, Miss Trebell?
15788I mean... still nothing need come out?
15788I presume Lord Charles thinks it''ll hand the Church over to him and his... dare I say''Sect''?
15788I suddenly came over Chopinesque, Fanny;... what''s your objection?
15788I wonder?
15788If I accept your tests will you accept mine?
15788If neither you-- nor Percival-- nor perhaps others will work with him... what am I to do?
15788If this affair were twenty years old would you do as you are doing?
15788If you do n''t grudge your own strength, why should you be tender of other people''s?
15788If you had been in her place?
15788Is he going to die?
15788Is it the prospect of Disestablishment suddenly makes him so accommodating?
15788Is it with your husband?
15788Is it worth while?
15788Is it?
15788Is it?
15788Is it?
15788Is n''t Death divorce enough for her?
15788Is that Tory cynicism or feminine?
15788Is that a complaint?
15788Is that difficult?
15788Is that how you''re thinking of it?
15788Is that sufficient?
15788Is that true, Julia?
15788Is the curse of barrenness to be nothing to a man?
15788Is there any record of a speech that ever did?
15788Is this a matter for intellectual jugglery?
15788Is this what you call being in love?
15788It''s not altogether a pleasant thing, is it... the selfishness of the hard worked man?
15788Jude''s?
15788Julia, Julia... is n''t it unbelievable?
15788Just come?
15788Let me see... do you know my cousin Charles Cantelupe?
15788Mamma, have you ever discussed so- called anti- Christian science with Lord Charles?
15788Mamma... how many people, do you think, believe that Cyril''s_ grande passion_ for me takes that form?
15788May I ask, Cyril, why are we concerning ourselves with this wickedness at all?
15788Mrs. O''Connell gone?
15788My dear Horsham, what had it to do with our request to O''Connell?
15788My discovery must be what to do with the men who think more of the state than their Church... the majority of parsons, do n''t you think?
15788Need there be more suffering and reproaches?
15788Never mind... you''re here now to hand me half the responsibility, are n''t you?
15788No Chopin?
15788No doubt you use the words Love and Hatred; but do you know that love and hatred for principles or persons should come from beyond a man?
15788No matter what they teach?
15788No one knows about you and poor Amy?
15788Not founded with church money?
15788Now shall we finish the conversation in prose?
15788Now, what made your husband marry you?
15788O''Connell?
15788O''Connell?
15788Of course, I''ve enough money to live on... so I could take up some woman''s profession... What are you smiling at?
15788Oh, about dinner?
15788Oh, are you to be here?
15788Oh, my dear Horsham, ca n''t you see that if O''Connell had blabbed to- morrow it really would have been a blessing in disguise?
15788Oh, my dear... what is wrong?
15788Oh, what about Wedgecroft?
15788Oh... am I in your way...?
15788Oh... do n''t you think it was cruel of him?
15788Oh... how do you do?
15788Oh... you can do without compliments, ca n''t you?
15788On what grounds?
15788Or will they make a Tory of you?
15788Praise is the greatest of luxuries, is n''t it, Henry?
15788Providence limited... eh?
15788Putting Appropriation, the Buildings and the Representation question on one side for the moment?
15788Shall I bring him up here?
15788Shall I carry you?
15788Shall I drop you at Grosvenor Square?
15788Shall I offer to give evidence at the inquest this morning?
15788Shall you come, Aunt Julia?
15788She must work through men, must n''t she?
15788Should I have grown a beard and travelled abroad and after ten years timidly tried to climb my way back into politics?
15788So I have provided just a first step, have I?
15788So Justin lives at Linaskea alone?
15788So far as you''ve made up your minds?
15788So late?
15788So late?
15788So you need not have let them into the secret?
15788Statutes?
15788Suppose they convert me?
15788Switch off some light, will you?
15788Take Amy O''Connell that lace thing, will you, Lucy?
15788That night we were together... it was for a moment different to everything that has ever been in your life before, was n''t it?
15788That rather begs the question of your very existence, does n''t it?
15788That seems simple enough, does n''t it?
15788That''s always such a difficult sort of point to determine, is n''t it?
15788That''s dead and buried now, is n''t it?
15788That''s priggish, is n''t it?
15788The Bill ca n''t be brought into the Lords... and who''s going to take Disestablishment through the Commons for us?
15788The fear of life... do you think it was... which is the beginning of all evil?
15788The little fool, the little fool... why did she kill my child?
15788The rest is just mutual attraction?
15788The rule of them is the same for all, is it not... from the tramp and the labourer to the plutocrat in his car?
15788Then comes the test... have we faith enough to go on... to go through with the unknown thing?
15788Then what did he say?
15788Then why do you want to kiss me?
15788Then why should she value your gift?
15788Then you''d leave us, Trebell?
15788There''d be others?
15788There''s nobody that need be suspecting, is there?
15788They wo n''t have to be answered now... will they?
15788This looks like popularity and the great heart of the people, does n''t it?
15788To get what I want, without paying more than it''s worth to me....?
15788To the other inquest?
15788To- night?
15788Trebell, what did you want to come here for?
15788Under public control?
15788Walter?
15788Want me to...?
15788Was he told of the whole business?
15788Was that before Lord Horsham wrote to you?
15788Was that wrong... ought n''t I to have touched it?
15788Was the end very sudden?
15788We can stop thinking of this dead woman, ca n''t we?
15788We''re a common sense couple, are n''t we?
15788Wedgecroft, what is the utmost O''Connell will be called upon to do for us... for Trebell?
15788Well now... will you explain to me this project for endowing Education with your surplus?
15788Well, Mamma, can we do without Mr. Trebell?
15788Well, what does that care as long as scandal''s its own copyright?
15788Well, what''s to become of my bill?
15788Well... he did n''t?
15788Well... in here?
15788Well... we could n''t carry a bill you disapproved of, could we?
15788Well?
15788Were n''t we doing our best?
15788What about a messenger?
15788What age are you now... forty- six... forty- seven?
15788What are men to do when this is how women use the freedom we have given them?
15788What are you writing?
15788What are yours?
15788What did it matter what I thought her?
15788What do you do... just slide the bolt?
15788What do you mean to do?
15788What do you say to that?
15788What do you start thinking of once the shock''s over?
15788What do you think Trebell will do now?
15788What does he propose?
15788What does it matter?
15788What does she say?
15788What else can it be?
15788What fool?
15788What had Percival to say on the subject, Farrant?
15788What has all that to do with it?
15788What has it to do with you anyhow?
15788What have I to do at all with Mr. Trebell as a man?
15788What have you been working at?
15788What have you to say about that?
15788What is his point?
15788What is it you''re worried about... if a mere sister may ask?
15788What is it, Simpson?
15788What is it?
15788What is it?
15788What is more crushingly finite than knowledge?
15788What is to be said to Mr. O''Connell when he comes?
15788What made them bring in Resolutions?
15788What made you take up with me at all?
15788What time did you ask him to come, Horsham?
15788What time did you say, Wedgecroft?
15788What will you have?
15788What would you do with it?
15788What''ll the Nonconformists say?
15788What''s Now- a- days?
15788What''s a woman to do?
15788What''s beneath trust deeds and last wills and testaments, and even acts of Parliament and official creeds?
15788What''s the test of godliness, but your power to receive the new idea in whatever form it comes and give it life?
15788What''s this, Kent, about Trebell''s making you his secretary?
15788What''s your brother working at?
15788When did you last use that nursery name?
15788When will you, then?
15788When''ll he be up and about?
15788Who ever proposed to insist on pillorying every case of spasmodic adultery?
15788Who is going to put out a finger to make it less awkward for Horsham to stick to you if there''s a chance of your going under?
15788Why ca n''t women take love- affairs so lightly?
15788Why ca n''t you make up your mind?
15788Why did you never believe in any woman?
15788Why do n''t you tell me?
15788Why has Lord Horsham thrown you over then... or has n''t that anything to do with it?
15788Why have you been talking to me as if I were someone else?
15788Why is it always the highest who fall?
15788Why not turn all those theology mongers into doctors or schoolmasters?
15788Why not?
15788Why offensive?
15788Why should I flinch?
15788Why should they question her on such a point if O''Connell says nothing?
15788Why should you cry out at a proof now and then of what''s always in the hearts of most of us?
15788Why, is Walter a fool?
15788Why... it is n''t known that he will definitely ask me to join?
15788Why?
15788Will the afternoon do?
15788Will they...?
15788Will you allow me that it is statecraft to make a profession profitable?
15788Will you decide to- night?
15788Will you dictate?
15788Will you please to make allowance, Lord Charles, for a mediaeval scholar''s contempt of modern government?
15788Will you take charge of the bill, Blackborough?
15788Will you wear my skirt?
15788Wo n''t he sell or wo n''t they purchase?
15788Wo n''t it comfort you to think of drunkenness as a beautiful thing?
15788Wo n''t it?
15788Wo n''t you go in?
15788Wo n''t you tell me whom to go to?
15788Would they have thought of that and stopped whispering about the scandal?
15788Yes, Charles?
15788Yes... our minds have been much relieved within the last half hour, have n''t they?
15788Yes... the scandal would smash you, would n''t it?
15788Yes... what exactly do you propose we shall say to O''Connell, Wedgecroft?
15788Yes?
15788You are forming it to carry disestablishment, are you not, Cyril?
15788You did n''t...?
15788You have n''t very nice ideas, have you?
15788You have sent for me, Lord Horsham?
15788You know how this misery began?
15788You make little treaties with Truth and with Beauty, and what can disturb you?
15788You mean if they''d had to throw you over?
15788You realise that, do n''t you?
15788You think I''ve a mind to put an end to that same?
15788You think Life''s an important thing, do n''t you?
15788You think so?
15788You value your work more than anything else in the world?
15788You''d have me first your plaything and then Nature''s, would you?
15788You''d marry me, would n''t you?
15788You''ll dine at home?
15788You''ll stand by and do what you can, wo n''t you?
15788You''ll tell me what to do, wo n''t you?
15788You''re in town, are n''t you, Farrant?
15788You''re not ill... interviewing a doctor?
15788Your choices in life have made you what you want to be, have n''t they?
15788Your neuralgia better?
15788Your own life is sufficient unto itself, is n''t it?
15788Your trouble is nothing to do with Amy O''Connell, is it?
15788[_ A little impatient._] What''s the good of that?
15788[_ A little malicious._] Is there any particular reason he should treat her well?
15788[_ A little subtly._] Still... now you and Horsham are cousins, are n''t you?
15788[_ Affected; not quite convinced._] Do you think you can buy a tradition and transmute it?
15788[_ After a little scrutiny of her- face._] Well, if marriage is only the means to an end... what''s the end?
15788[_ Alert and cautious._] You want to endow colleges?
15788[_ All show of resistance gone._] Did he?
15788[_ Almost ill- temperedly._] How could he have stopped it?
15788[_ Almost provokingly._] What about him?
15788[_ Almost reprovingly._] No question of politics?
15788[_ Angry, remorseful, rebellious._] When will men learn to know one woman from another?
15788[_ As he bows over her hand._] And what has Education to do with it?
15788[_ As if half his life depended on her answer._] Is that true?
15788[_ Asking from real interest in her._] Was yours a deliberate choice and do you never regret it?
15788[_ At the telephone._] Yes, bring him up, of course... is n''t Mr. Kent there?
15788[_ Beckoning with her eyes._] What''s this, Mr. Trebell?
15788[_ Brought to his mundane self_] Well... are you sure?
15788[_ Clicking off all but his reading lamp._] So?
15788[_ Coming nearer without haste or excitement._] Well?
15788[_ Crying out._] Why... why did no woman teach you to be gentle?
15788[_ Curiously._] Are you afraid of death?
15788[_ Cutting her short, bitingly._] Has a time ever come to you when it was easier to die than to go on living?
15788[_ Dealing out justice._] I find her quite charming to look at and talk to... but why should n''t Justin O''Connell live in Ireland for all that?
15788[_ Dealing with the impertinence in her own fashion._] What would make you marry me?
15788[_ Dismissing that subject._] Well... how''s Percival?
15788[_ Disregardful._] And what is it makes my pressing attentions endurable... if one may ask?
15788[_ Feeling that he must take part._] For instance?
15788[_ Flashing at him, revengefully._] Why?
15788[_ Forbiddingly commonplace._] What''s that letter?
15788[_ Forcing the issue._] What meaning do you attach to it?
15788[_ Forlornly sticking to his point._] What has all this to do with Trebell?
15788[_ Gentle and ironic._] Have you ever, for one moment, thought in that sense of anyone else?
15788[_ Glowing to white heat._] Is this a time to count the consequences to ourselves?
15788[_ Going to the window as she buttons her gloves._] Were you on deck early this morning?
15788[_ Gravely._] What does your father say?
15788[_ Grimacing sweetly, her eyes only half lifted._] Does he?
15788[_ Hardly._] May I ask you to interfere on my behalf no further?
15788[_ He corrects himself smiling._] I mean, my dear Blackborough, why not stick to the Colonies?
15788[_ He draws her from the window; then does not let her go._] May I kiss you again?
15788[_ Her tone expressing quite wonderfully her sentiments towards the owner._] Do n''t you think she''d sooner catch cold?
15788[_ His eyes shift beyond her; beyond the room._] What is it in your thoughts and actions which makes them bear fruit?
15788[_ His face set in thought._] Where have you been since we met?
15788[_ His thoughts shifting their plane._] Was she so very mad?
15788[_ Humouring him._] Ought we to burn the house down?
15788[_ Imploring comfort._] But should we have held together through Trebell''s bill?
15788[_ In sudden agony._] D''you think I want it to be true?
15788[_ Including_ HORSHAM_ now in his appeal._] Does anyone think he knows me now to be a worse man... less fit, less able... than he did a week ago?
15788[_ Ironically._] Has he been pleased with the prospect?
15788[_ Irritably._] Why are you picking me to pieces?
15788[_ Kindly._] And you''re sure of yourself, are n''t you?
15788[_ Kindly._] Why do you pretend to be callous?
15788[_ Leaving the fellow to his subtleties._] Well, what about the maid?
15788[_ Letting it be a fairy tale._] Is your mother the Wide World nothing to you?
15788[_ Lifting the subject off its feet._] Not if I come out of the cabinet and preach revolution?
15788[_ Listlessly._] Does it matter why?
15788[_ Looking at_ FRANCES_ a little curiously._] Did n''t your instinct lead you to marry... or did you fight against it?
15788[_ Losing her patience, childishly._] What do you mean by the World?
15788[_ Measuring_ TREBELL_ with his eyes._] And by which shall I help you to a solution... telling lies or the truth to- morrow?
15788[_ Not to be put down._] What is the prose for God?
15788[_ Not too shocked to be curious._] Are there really?
15788[_ Not without mischief._] And what was the effect on the pupils?
15788[_ Only half humorously._] But what else is one to do with them?
15788[_ Proceeding with her cynicism._] Humanity achieves... what?
15788[_ Protesting._] No more?
15788[_ Pugnaciously._] D''you mean I''m just pretending not to attack him personally?
15788[_ Quite inexorable._] Would n''t any other woman have served the purpose... and is it less of a purpose because we did n''t know we had it?
15788[_ Readily._] Do n''t you think I''m taking it in a way... by marrying Walter?
15788[_ Really puzzled._] What do you mean?
15788[_ She comes in._] Is it very late?
15788[_ She puts a square envelope at his hand._] Is a letter marked private from the Education Office political or personal?
15788[_ She remembers the doctor._] Oh... have you been attending her?
15788[_ Shrill even at a momentary desertion._] What do you mean?
15788[_ So bored by these metaphysics._] Faith in what?
15788[_ So pleasantly sceptical._] Do you think they''d have outlasted the second reading?
15788[_ Soft and friendly._] How far are you actually pledged to him?
15788[_ Sotto voce._] Why did you ever make it?
15788[_ Startled._] Who else?
15788[_ Stealthily._] Is it, Horsham?
15788[_ Struck with the idea._] Well... why not?
15788[_ Struggling... with herself_] Oh, why do you rouse me like this?
15788[_ Suddenly a thought strikes him._] D''you think it was Horsham and his little committee persuaded O''Connell?
15788[_ Suddenly with nervous caution._] Walter, you do n''t know, do you?
15788[_ Taking another path._] Shall I tell you something I believe?
15788[_ The little snub almost bewildering her._] Anything private?
15788[_ Then he breaks away again into great bitterness._] No... what do they make of this woman''s death?
15788[_ Then hysterically._] God can make you believe in Him when he likes, ca n''t he?
15788[_ Then surveying his three glum companions, bursts out._] Well...?
15788[_ Then, as for the second time she reaches the door._] Do n''t take away my razors, will you?
15788[_ They both get up, cheered considerably._] You wo n''t forget this, will you?
15788[_ Thinking of those moments._] Did I?
15788[_ Throwing in the monosyllable with sharp youthful enquiry._] Why?
15788[_ Turning back enlightened a little._] That''s more the trouble then than the Cabinet question?
15788[_ Vigorously making his point._] Then what would be the conditions of your remaining?
15788[_ Waking to_ BLACKBOROUGH''S_ line of action._] Why on earth should you leave us, Trebell?
15788[_ Who has been listening, sharp- eyed._] Contrariwise, he would n''t have liked a Radical Bill though, would he?
15788[_ With a half smile._] Have you a vein of romance for holiday time?
15788[_ With a twist of his mouth._] Promised, has he?
15788[_ With an effort._] Kent?
15788[_ With an incredulous grin._] You''re not going back to extending old- age pensions after turning the unfortunate Liberals out on it, are you?
15788[_ With answering bitterness._] When will all women care to be one thing rather than the other?
15788[_ With charming insinuation._] And have you calculated, Blackborough, what may become of us if Trebell has the pull of being out of it?
15788[_ With coquetry._] You''re not interested in my character?
15788[_ With cynical humour._] Which I''m not to tell him either?
15788[_ With full voice._] But in the creed I''ll lay down as unalterable there shall be neither Jew nor Greek.... What do you think of St. Paul, Gilbert?
15788[_ With keenness._] Do you mean superhuman?
15788[_ With no trace of self- consciousness._] Well... how are you, after this long time?
15788[_ With reasoning in his tone._] Well... why not?
15788[_ Working up his protest._] Why on earth not?
15788[_ Yielding._] If I do... do n''t let me go mad, will you?
15788_ He is gone,_ TREBELL_ battles with uneasiness and at last mutters._"Oh... why did n''t she wait?"
15788and am I to write my prescriptions in English?
15788whose has been the real offence against Society... hers or mine?
28556Abandoned?
28556And do you think there is any danger of your being turned out?
28556And now would you like to see the jail?
28556And you are not lonesome out here?
28556But Attorney- General Vanetta gave an adverse opinion as to the legality of your appointment?
28556Did you have all your property before marriage?
28556Do you refuse it on legal grounds?
28556Do you think prohibition prohibits?
28556Do you think the majority of women want to vote?
28556Has your wife helped you in any way to earn it?
28556Have I not just brought about a reconciliation between Tammany and the rest of New York?
28556How can we soonest convince the demons that we have rights which must be respected?
28556How long have you been married?
28556How many children have you had?
28556I do not; but is that any reason why you should deprive the one who does? 28556 Is English spoken in Connecticut?"
28556Is it cold in Russia?
28556Is she the only wife you ever had?
28556Mr. President,I exclaimed,"by what right do you refuse to recognize women when their names are called?
28556On what grounds do you refuse?
28556Well, Jo,said Mrs. Stewart,"what did you do?"
28556Where is my shawl? 28556 Why should I,"he continued,"bring this charge?
28556Will not the ballot be used rather by that class who would not use it wisely than by those who are most competent?
28556*** Mr. GARLAND: I should like to ask the senator from California if the courts of the United States can not admit them upon their own motion anyhow?
28556--and I would add with emphasis, Without an education, what is woman?"
28556:"Can the legislature empower women to vote for presidential electors?"
28556A correspondent describing what the voters had to encounter, said: Is the question asked, why have not more women voted?
28556A gentleman said to me last week:"What is the use of your doing this?
28556A. BRONSON ALCOTT wrote:*** Where women lead-- the best women-- is it unsafe for men to follow?
28556Abandoned of whom?
28556Above all, is it manly or just to be charging corrupt motives on nine- tenths of those who advocate the reform?
28556Add to this, that the Good Physician should heal him of his''chronic invalidism''and then-- well what''s the use of dreaming?
28556After all, by what are governments organized and maintained?
28556Again, addressing his audience at St. Clement''s, he says:"You may marry a bad man, but what of that?
28556All day long women met each other, and asked:"Are you going to the election to- morrow?"
28556Among the hundreds of questions asked me by that committee were these:"Do you want a prohibitory plank in our State constitution?"
28556And I think as we slowly sail up the bay on our vessel, Does that deadened soul respond to what lies before him?
28556And having the best means for deciding this question, have they not the right to decide?
28556And how is it if she remains on this until her continued residence upon it has enabled her husband to prove up?
28556And how was this most successful experiment in equal rights received and treated by the press and the people out of the territory?
28556And if it was illegal in women and deserving of punishment, why should men escape?
28556And if so, is it not better for the women delegates to go home?"
28556And if, forsooth, they had, would not each one of you have declared such act unconstitutional and unjust?
28556And now perhaps some materially- minded person will ask,"What are you going to do about it?
28556And now, friends, in view of the present status of our cause, have we not much to encourage us in our work?
28556And the other person I want to speak of?
28556And what is this family impediment which is thus set up as a female disability?
28556And why not?
28556And why not?
28556And why should any one be displeased?
28556And, says Charles Sumner,"What can be more universal than the rights of man?"
28556Are men the only lawful members of this Alliance?
28556Are not all the men protecting you?"
28556Are not the political disabilities of sex as grievous as those of color?
28556Are our women less capable than these?
28556Are the rights of American citizens more sacred on the soil of Great Britain or France than on the soil of one of our own States?
28556Are the rights of women in all the Southern States, whose slaves are now their rulers, less sacred than those of the men of Louisiana?
28556Are they in your prayers?
28556Are they not rather intelligence, virtue, truth and patriotism?
28556Are you willing to stand a legal prosecution?"
28556As to its justice, who shall deny it?
28556At the house of one of the members a discussion was held on this subject:"Does the Private Character of the Actor Concern the Public?"
28556Before that Committee on Revolutionary Claims why could not this most revolutionary of all claims receive immediate and ample attention?
28556Breathes there a woman with soul so dead that she would bring forth slaves?
28556But do we want such men?
28556But let me ask why, then, a large class of men remained disfranchised after these States again took up local government?
28556But there are some who would say:"Would you have woman enjoy all the political rights of men?"
28556But what is love, tenderness, protection, even, unless rooted in justice?
28556But where slept his"sworn duty"when he recorded his vote in the Senate against woman suffrage?
28556But who will tell me they would not have gained them sooner, with less heart- breaking labor, if they had had the political franchise?
28556But why peer into the future?
28556But would Mr. Leatham guarantee that the 2,000,000 men he proposes to enfranchise shall be perfectly pure and moral men?
28556By brute force alone?
28556By what authority do the police call women"abandoned"and arrest them because they are patrolling any public park or square?
28556By what principle of democracy do men assume to legislate for women?
28556By what right do men declare themselves invested with power to legislate for women?
28556By what right?
28556C. G. Ames concluded the course, November 18, with"What Does it Mean?"
28556Can a future legislature, by the passage of a law not liable to the objection, that it violates the obligation of contracts, take away those rights?
28556Can our friends inform us what is our crime, that we are denied the right of representation?
28556Can the legislature repeal or modify this mandate?
28556Can the sex, ordinarily so quick to pronounce pre- judgments, divest itself of them sufficiently to enter the jury- box with unbiased minds?
28556Can there be any possible danger in trusting those who have trusted us?
28556Can they point to any mental or moral deficiency, to render justifiable our being denied political rights?
28556Certainly they would not be guilty of deceiving, for are they not"all honorable men"?
28556Could any woman withstand that?
28556Could satire go farther?
28556Could the absoluteness of this right be expressed in plainer or more energetic terms?
28556Did his honorable friend ask him to admit that the question deserved the fullest consideration?
28556Did not this woman also suffer?
28556Did not this woman bear her portion of the martyrdom?
28556Did you all pay your taxes and stay at home and refrain from voting because the Covenanters did not vote?
28556Do they deserve the classification?
28556Do they enter into your plans?
28556Do they lie on your hearts?
28556Do they not deserve a share of its glories also?
28556Do you doubt that I would use the ballot in the interests of order, retrenchment, and reform?
28556Do you not believe I feel the duties it demands of its citizens?
28556Do you think such women would not change the laws of inheritance if they had the power?
28556Do you think, gentlemen, said Mrs. Stewart, that such women as attend our conventions, and speak from our platform, could make so ludicrous a blunder?
28556Does Senator Wadleigh know nothing of that woman''s"experience in politics"?
28556Does a man earn a hundred thousand dollars and lie down and die, saying,"It is all my boys''"?
28556Does any one pretend to say that men alone constitute races and peoples?
28556Does it become us to lay additional burdens on those who are already overweighted?"
28556Does it need a prophet to tell us where to begin this work?
28556Does it not affect to control the legislature in the exercise of its powers?
28556Does not the physical and intellectual condition of the women of a nation decide the capacity and power of its men?
28556Does not this suggest reasons why woman should wish to represent herself?
28556Does our constitution provide any remedy whatever?
28556Does she then share in its benefits?
28556Does that mean the ballot_ for men only_ or the ballot_ for the people_, men and women too?
28556Does this prove that Dr. Lord and every other Democrat in the State of Vermont is brutal and ignorant and disloyal?
28556Dr. See-- May we have a season of prayer, sir?
28556Finding ourselves quite in accord, I said,"how did you get those ideas in Georgia?"
28556For what would not the patient, energetic mind of woman accomplish, when once resolved?
28556Freedom to men and women alike is but a question of time-- is America now equal to the great occasion?
28556Gentlemen, what does it all amount to?
28556Graceful return for her devotion, was n''t it?
28556H. R. The question is often asked, why are women so much more desirous than men to see their children educated?
28556Had he ever read:"I will be master of what is my own; She is my goods, my chattels-- My horse, my ox, my ass, my anything"?
28556Has her development expanded to that degree where her legislators can say in very truth, as of the colored man,"Let the oppressed go free"?
28556Have they not equal right with bad men, to self- government?
28556Have you the election law by you?"
28556How can a mother give birth to a noble soul while herself a slave?
28556How can justice be expected from those who instinctively combine to preserve their privilege to abuse women?
28556How can men appreciate their injury?
28556How can men justly judge a woman?
28556How can she impart a free spirit when her own is servile?
28556How can that form of government be called republican in which one- half the people are forever deprived of all participation in its affairs?
28556How can you expect them to develop into patriotic American statesmen?
28556How has woman''s work as county superintendent impressed other educators?
28556How shall they estimate the part we bear in the unbroken line of the nation''s progress?
28556How so?
28556How was this to be accomplished?
28556I ask you, therefore, for the sake of your own question, do you think it wise to pick my apples now?
28556I would add,"What can be more universal than the rights of woman?"
28556If any woman shall ask it, who shall deny it because another woman does not ask it?
28556If he had, we usually troubled him no further; if he had not, we asked,"Can you vote for woman suffrage?"
28556If it is not a crime to be a woman, why are women subjected to unequal payment with men for the same service?
28556If one woman shall ask for a voice in the regulation of society of which she is at least one- half, who shall say her nay?
28556If so, why not do it at once?
28556If the United States has no voters of its own creation in the States, what are these men?
28556If there is nothing new to be said in favor of suffrage for women, is there anything new to be urged against it?
28556If they are more efficient as teachers is it not fair to presume that they would excel as committees?
28556If they are really eligible, then why not have them selected and appointed?
28556If they can be elected to that office, is it proper to say they shall have no voice in the elections?
28556If woman asks for the ballot shall man deny it?
28556If woman may fitly determine this question, for what question of public policy is she unfit?
28556If you bring legislation here, what will you bring?
28556In 1851 an order was introduced asking"whether any legislation was necessary concerning the wills of married women?"
28556In asking for a voice in the government under which we live, have we been pursuing a shadow for forty years?
28556In case it should become necessary, may I rely on your valuable services?
28556In closing, I have only to ask, is there no man here present who appreciates the emergencies of this hour?
28556In closing, he said:"But what think you, sisters, of the dangers that threaten the republic?
28556In fact, unless you show that the exercise of your alleged right will be useful, can you logically conclude that you have any?
28556In replying, read between the lines of my tedious story and bear in mind the words of Voltaire:"Who would dare change a law that time has consecrated?
28556In seeking political power, are we abdicating that social throne where they tell us our influence is unbounded?
28556In the course of their conversation Professor Dwight said;"Do you think girls know enough to study law?"
28556In the first place-- accepting that prophecy as true-- why will women not marry?
28556In thus affirming Mrs. McFarland''s right to marry Mr. Richardson, has the Supreme Court of the United States sanctioned free- love?
28556In view of the terrible corruption of our politics, people ask, can we maintain universal suffrage?
28556In view of these facts, does it not appear that if there is any one distinctively feminine characteristic, it is the mother- instinct for government?
28556In_ The Revolution_ of March 26, 1868, we find the following: It is often asked, would you make women police officers?
28556Is it a matter of regret to us that they should have these aspirations?
28556Is it at all more indelicate for a woman to go to the polls, than it is for her to go to the court- house and pay her taxes?
28556Is it not time that this aristocracy of sex should be overthrown?
28556Is it possible that the editor regards such a relation of protest and disgust as consistent with the unity of Christian marriage?
28556Is not liberty as sweet to her as to him?
28556Is not the same principle involved in both cases?
28556Is she then half owner of the land?
28556Is the Republican party therefore"low company"?
28556Is the ballot more precious than the soul of your child?
28556Is the meaning this, that all citizens shall have the right to vote, or simply that citizenship shall be the basis of suffrage?
28556Is the oppression to last forever?
28556Is there any remedy?
28556Is there no one among you who will rise on the floor of congress as the champion of this unrepresented half of the people of the United States?
28556Is this all woman is to do?
28556Is to be a wife and mother, and nothing else, the sole end and aim of woman?
28556It has recently been asked in congressional debates,"What is the grand idea of the centennial?"
28556It is a pertinent question now, shall all other contradictory principles be retained in the constitution until they, too, are expounded by civil war?
28556It was impossible, he was out, and what could they do?
28556Just here, in imagination, is heard the question,"How much help could we expect from women on financial questions?"
28556MARY A. STEWART of Delaware said: The negroes are a race inferior, you must admit, to your daughters, and yet that race has the ballot, and why?
28556May I ask you to bring to that labor as fair a spirit, as unprejudiced an outlook, as just a decision as he would have done?
28556May this not be one reason why the Swedish legislature has been so liberal toward women?
28556Men of Melrose, Concord and Malden, why persecute us?
28556Miss SMITH said:_ Gentlemen of the Committee_--This is the first time in my life that I have trod these halls, and what has brought me here?
28556More than that, as I said before, if there is any tribunal that could give undivided time and dignified attention, is it not this committee?
28556Mr. BAYARD: Is it in order for me to move the reference of the subject to the Committee on the Judiciary?
28556Mr. HARRIS: Did not the senator from Missouri[ Mr. Vest] offer an amendment?

28556Mr. INGALLS: What is the regular order?
28556Mr. JONES of Florida: I ask for information how long the morning hour is to extend?
28556Mr. MCMILLIN: Then you have no opinion beyond his decision?
28556Mr. MCMILLIN: Will the gentleman permit me to ask him a question?
28556Mr. MCMILLIN: Would you not, as a parliamentarian, concede that this does change the existing rules of the House?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: Can you have a committee without a rule of the House providing for it?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: Does the Chair hold that the making of a new rule is not a change of the existing rules?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: Is this not a new rule?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: It is not?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: What does the Chair decide?
28556Mrs. Blake spoke on the question,"Is it a Crime to be a Woman?"
28556Mrs. Duniway, will you not favor us with a speech?"
28556My theme was,"What has Christianity done for Woman?"
28556N. J. Burton, said:"Has not this convention been a success?
28556Need we tell you where to find this master- hand which has planned so wisely?
28556Now the question is,"Will the women vote for this man, if we nominate him?"
28556Of what use was woman in the ranks of any political party, with no vote outside the caucus?
28556On the other hand, what is centralization?
28556On what authority are women taxed while unrepresented?
28556On what just ground is discrimination made between men and women?
28556On what theory is it less dangerous to defraud twenty million women of their inalienable rights than four million negroes?
28556One day a dude accosted Miss Bridget on the road, and said, in the usual manner:"Beg pardon, but may I walk with you?"
28556One man asked me, though not rudely,"Who is cooking your husband''s dinner?"
28556Or is there not other work in God''s universe which some woman may possibly be called upon to do?
28556Or will it, as so repeatedly in the past, turn a deaf ear to reason, and still continue to deny the rights of half the human family?
28556Ought it not rather to be a subject of satisfaction and of pride?
28556Our course was somewhat as follows: On the approach of a voter, we would ask him,"have you voted?"
28556Perhaps the women would be lenient to you( the sexes do favor each other), but would you be satisfied?
28556Polling places were gaily decorated; banners floated to the breeze, bearing suggestive mottoes:"Are Women Citizens?"
28556Said I,"Why do you pay your tax?"
28556Says the editor of the Boston_ Index_: What is local self- government?
28556Shaking my finger at the clergymen, I exclaimed:"How_ dare_ you make such charges against the mothers of men?
28556Shall I describe this box, twelve inches long and six wide, and originally a grape- box?
28556Shall it not be done?
28556Shall it then be recorded of us that the demand and the protest of the women were not made in vain?
28556Shall we now hold that it can not apply to black men?
28556She has more privileges than she could vote herself into,"says Mr. H. Has she, indeed?
28556Since woman has proved faithful over a few things, need you fear to summon her to your side to assist you in executing the will of the nation?
28556Some may say,"But what is to be the end?"
28556Standing over him, the warrior asked,"Diogenes, what can I do for you?"
28556Suppose many women would not avail themselves of such a function, are those with higher, or other views, to be therefore kept in tutelage?
28556Suppose the court should exclude women, but not on account of sex, then what is their remedy?
28556Suppose they are; have not the masses of all oppressed classes been apathetic and indifferent until partial success crowned the enthusiasm of the few?
28556Ten minutes were given Miss Anthony to plead the cause of 10,000,000--yes, 20,000,000 citizens of this republic(?

28556The PRESIDENT_ pro tempore_: Is the Senate ready for the question on the motion of the senator from Delaware?
28556The PRESIDENT_ pro tempore_: Is there objection?
28556The VICE- PRESIDENT: The question is, Will the Senate agree to the resolution?
28556The importance of this education to the future-- who can measure it?
28556The method of reasoning is the same, but it do n''t sound quite fair and honorable, does it?
28556The only question was, would the ballot cure these wrongs?
28556The power to fight?
28556The questions presented by the demurrer were:_ First_--Is the defendant eligible to this office, she being neither a practicing nor a learned lawyer?
28556The territorial legislature of Utah conferred upon the females of that territory the right of suffrage, and how have they exercised that right?
28556There are inconveniences and cares in all possessions; but who argues that therefore they should be abandoned?
28556There are many men who do not value their citizenship; shall other men therefore be deprived of the ballot?
28556They are citizens, they are tax- payers; they bear the burdens of government-- why should they be denied the rights of citizens?
28556They have sat as jurors, and have the laws been less faithfully and justly administered, and criminals less promptly and adequately punished?
28556They replied,"What of it?
28556They wore white ribbon badges on which was printed,"Are we citizens?"
28556This raised a delicate question, for how could women take part in celebrating the triumphs of their country whose laws disfranchised them?
28556This we say to all who are contending for liberty, for what is liberty if the claims of women be disregarded?
28556Thus, suppose the question to be,"Is the family or the individual the political basis of the State of Connecticut?"
28556Underhill, Sarah E., i, 308--sketch of, i, 313 United States a nation?
28556Was ever such sublime womanly heroism and self- sacrifice before known?
28556Was ever such worth of culture, such wealth of womanhood, laid on the altar of country and humanity?
28556We may doubt it is policy for women to vote, but who can draw the line and say that naturally she has not a right to do so?
28556We might just as well ask,"Is the climate cold in a State?"
28556Well, I have been examining a little into the conduct of those ladies who do stay at home so much, and what do I find?
28556Well, what of it?
28556Were all you men disfranchised because that class or sect up in New York would not vote?
28556Were his dreams of freedom less real because the stolid masses were not awake to their significance?
28556Were not her talents and virtues too much confined to private, social and domestic life?
28556Were not the political fortunes and the sacred honor(?)
28556Were not this plainly a violation of the constitution?
28556What answer?
28556What are the newspapers but sheets sold out to the highest bidder?
28556What are the qualifications for the ballot?

28556What is the proposition on the table?
28556What laws did they mean?
28556What more can be said of any one than that?
28556What more can we ask, unless, indeed, it be for a very conscientious idea of duty?
28556What more could one expect from such a disturber of public peace?
28556What other city on this continent can present such a showing?
28556What question of equal importance will ever be submitted to her decision?
28556What shall they say of us?
28556What then?
28556What then?
28556What unheard of oppressions drove these people to the mad attempt?
28556What were the women to gain by waiting?
28556What would be the next effect of such an extension of the suffrage?
28556What would have been thought thirty years ago, if women had studied finance, banks and banking, money, currency, sociology and political science?
28556What would woman do with the ballot if she had it?
28556What_ is_ a vote?
28556What_ shall_ we say to them?
28556When any man expresses doubt to me as to the use that I or any other woman might make of the ballot if we had it, my answer is, What is that to you?
28556When we say children, do we not mean girls as well as boys?
28556When we say parents, do we not mean mothers as well as fathers?
28556When we say people, do we not mean women as well as men?
28556When will the verdict be rendered and what will it be?
28556Where are the boundaries of your jurisdiction?
28556Where did you get the right to_ give_ Massachusetts women the right to vote?
28556Where is now the family representation?
28556Where is the boasted chivalry of the English- speaking nations?
28556Where is the necessity of raising the number of voters in the United States from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000?
28556Where next?
28556Where was their State sovereignty?
28556Whether the wise(?)
28556Which party can play this game the longer?
28556Who are more interested than mothers in the sanitary condition of our schools and streets, and in the moral atmosphere of our towns and cities?
28556Who can answer?
28556Who challenges a male juror and demands whether he left his family well provided, and his wife well cherished?
28556Who could assign a reason why women should vote in one and not in the other?
28556Who have upheld it?
28556Who should fear the result who desires the public welfare?
28556Who stay at home from the election?
28556Whose blood paid for yours?
28556Why are they forced at times to don men''s clothes in order to obtain employment that will keep them from starvation?
28556Why deny me a voice in any or all of these?
28556Why does not man establish them for woman, his wife, his mother?"
28556Why is this?
28556Why not also of men?
28556Why not open the doors of that institution and let her make the experiment?
28556Why not?
28556Why send a man to do a boy''s work, or a boy to do that which a shepherd dog can do just as well?

28556Why was it defeated?
28556Why would it not be a good idea for women to leave these conservative gentlemen alone in the churches?
28556Why would not the same results be wrought out by their presence at the ballot- box?
28556Will it be wise enough to seize it for self preservation, if not from principle?
28556Will the_ Watchman_ assert that the people of Vermont"throw scorn on the marriage relation"?

28556You may ask,"Do not your husbands protect you?
28556You raise your committee and allow the agitators to come before them, yea, more than that, you invite them to come; and what is the result?
28556[ 166] See Appendix for Mr. Hooker''s article,"Is the Family the Basis of the State?"
28556[ 449] Miss Marion Lowell recited"The Legend,"by Mary Agnes Ticknor, and"Was he Henpecked?"
28556_ Is the Family the Basis of the State?_ BY JOHN HOOKER.
28556_ Second_--Is the defendant eligible to this office, she being a female?
28556and amend it by adding,"What is woman, that they never thought of her?"
28556and we ask in the name of justice, must we continue ever the silent and servile victims of this injustice?
28556and would she not, if entrusted with it, exercise it for the elevation of a common humanity?
28556for does she not toil early and late in the factory, and in every department of life subject to the despotism of men?

28020And a''n''t I a woman? 28020 And what are they going to do in Kansas?"
28020Are there to be_ two_ World''s Conventions?
28020But, Mrs. Nichols, you would not have women go down into the muddy pool of politics?
28020Could it then,said she,"be a Church of Christ?"
28020Den dey talks''bout dis ting in de head; what dis dey call it?
28020Did Dr. Hewitt rule out from office Mr. Barnum on the ground that he( Mr. Barnum) was an infidel?
28020Did Mayor Barstow occasion the schism in the temperance ranks, by refusing to recognize the feminine element in the movement?
28020Did you hear the cheering?
28020Do you love peace as well as Christ loved it, and can you do thus?
28020Do you think,says one,"that Christ would have done so?"
28020Hannah, Hannah,cried her husband,"do you not see these are no questions for you?
28020How can the proposed Convention be a_ World''s_ Convention, if women and all who do not belong to a particular Church are to be excluded?
28020How many have you?
28020If women are, according to your admission, fitted for the higher plane, why keep them on the lower?
28020If you complain of education in sons, what shall I say in regard to daughters, who every day experience the want of it?
28020Is it equal to that of man?
28020Is not our conduct mean and dastardly? 28020 Is she not my wife?"
28020Ladies,I said,"it takes me no longer to speak than you to listen; what have you done with your children the two hours you have been sitting here?
28020Madam,he inquired,"can you tell me where all these people are from, and where they are going?"
28020On what subjects?
28020Rachel,said the astonished husband,"where is that ninepence I gave thee day before yesterday?"
28020Sir, we have got along for eighteen hundred years, and shall we change now? 28020 Some one remarked to her one day,''Are you sure your men vote as they promise?''
28020That is not it,do you say?
28020The call is unexceptionably broad,we were reminded,"it invites all and excludes nobody, then why not accept it and hold but one Convention?"
28020The grandfather made legal custodian by the father, was he? 28020 Then?"
28020Well, in what way can you better the cause? 28020 Well, is it not?"
28020What does it all mean?
28020What greater cause could there be? 28020 What is it?"
28020What is the use of Conventions? 28020 What, Anna, does thee go to hear that Fanny Wright?"
28020Who can that creature be?
28020Who is it?
28020Who votes under it?
28020Why do you women meddle in politics?
28020Why,I asked,"are they bad men?"
28020Will they the felon fox restrain, And yet take oft the tiger''s chain?
28020Will you sign one if drawn up?
28020You do n''t say anything about slavery in your woman''s rights''lectures, do you?
28020... What do we toil for?
280201.--Have you tried your experiment of education on any little nigger yet?
28020A laborer to whom the architect showed it, said:"Do n''t she know e''en as much as some men?"
28020A lady who was among the audience said to me afterward,"How could you do it?
28020Accordingly, you submit your Constitution for ratification-- to whom?
28020After a moment of silence, he said:"Were any of your family up, Lydia, on the night when I received my company here?"
28020After this, should I very handsomely make an exception in favor of Mr. Saxe, would he feel complimented?
28020Again I ask, is it possible to discuss all the laws of a relation, and not touch the relation itself?
28020Agitation?
28020And a''n''t I a woman?
28020And a''n''t I a woman?
28020And a''n''t, I a woman?
28020And after dinner, she says to her husband,"Where shall we go this evening?"
28020And as to the disorder which prevailed throughout the Convention, who made that disorder?
28020And do you ask for fortitude, energy, and perseverance?
28020And do you ask, did this not retard the cause of Temperance?
28020And do you call yourselves republicans?
28020And do you think these labors will be in vain?
28020And if she is, what right has man to deprive her of her natural and inalienable rights?
28020And if they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?
28020And now, added the old gentleman,"I would like to hear what Mrs. Nichols has to say on this point?"

28020Is it consistent with the profession; and, if there were no profession, is it right, is it just?
28020Is it easy for women to break the way into new avenues?
28020Is it he who has all his knowledge at second- hand, rather than she who has it in all her consciousness?
28020Is it here only that woman can touch man''s sympathy?
28020Is it just, politic, and wise, that universities and colleges endowed by Government should be open only to men?
28020Is it local?
28020Is it necessary to explode a volcano under the foundation of the family union?"

28020Is it true that there is known neither male nor female in Christ Jesus?
28020Is it wise in policy?
28020Is it young in years, or is it as old as the world itself?
28020Is not a beautiful mind and a retiring modesty still conspicuous in her?
28020Is not everything managed by female influence?
28020Is not our conduct on this head ungenerous and ignoble to the other sex?
28020Is not such injustice as grievous to woman as man?
28020Is not that proof that we are in earnest about it?
28020Is not that self- evident?
28020Is not the aid of man equally important in the family, and would his necessary duties in the home conflict with his duties as a citizen and a patriot?
28020Is not the light all around us?
28020Is not the question a fair one,--how many women have any rights?
28020Is not the work of the_ mothers_ in our land as important as that of the father?
28020Is not this one reason amply sufficient for any honest- minded man?
28020Is not, then, the fault in thee?"
28020Is she compromising her womanly dignity in going forth to seek to better the condition of the insane and afflicted?
28020Is she not beloved, honored, guarded, cherished?
28020Is she not included in that expression?
28020Is she then not included in that declaration?
28020Is she, the most interested party, to have no voice in the solution of a question which is to her of such overwhelming interest?
28020Is that a marriage which must not be dissolved?
28020Is that the union which"death only should part"?
28020Is the fault to be charged to the removal of the restraint; or is it to be charged to the first imposition of the restraint?

28020Is the world to be depopulated?
28020Is there any worthy woman who rules her household as wickedly as the nations are ruled?

28020It does not satisfy us to assert that they proceed from the depravity of man; how came he depraved?
28020It has never been asserted that man and woman are alike; if they were, where would be the necessity for urging the claims of the one?
28020It is also often asked if women want more rights, why do they not take them?
28020It is asked of a lady,"Has she married well?"
28020It is not sufficient to say that these are consequences of human imperfection; that we know; but whence arises the imperfection?
28020It is often asked,"if political equality would not rouse antagonisms between the sexes?"
28020It is said that a tacit consent has been hitherto given by the absence of open protest?
28020It is very important in a republic, that the people should respect the laws, for if we throw them to the winds, what becomes of civil government?
28020It will not be identical with the old one; but, even if it were, you propose to ask a renewed consent from men, and why not from women?
28020It would be quite as sound logic to maintain, as some do, that, as last in the series which commenced in nothing(?)

28020May we not permit a thought to stray beyond the narrow limits of our own family circle and of the present hour?
28020May we not then conclude that the fears which have been proved absolutely groundless in the one case, may be equally so in the other?

28020Mrs. Stanton asks,"Would you send a young girl into a nunnery, when she has made a mistake?"
28020Must you not?
28020Now can anything be clearer than that?
28020Now do you understand me?
28020Now does this question grow legitimately out of the great question of woman''s equality?
28020Now is this movement right in principle?
28020Now what becomes of the"tenant for life"?

28020Now, do you candidly think these wives do not wish to control the wages they earn-- to own the land they buy-- the houses they build?
28020Now, gentlemen, we would fain know by what authority you have disfranchised one- half the people of this State?
28020Now, the question is, not whether the Jews are converted, or whether the Gospel ever reaches the islands, but, Does the agent flourish?
28020Now, what is the remedy?
28020Now, who is to educate them and control them?
28020Now, why should that same law base their union or oneness on inequality or subjugation?
28020Now, you men that hiss, you would like to have them help you elect your candidate this year, would n''t you?
28020Of what advantage is it to us to live in a Republic?
28020Of what rights is she deprived?
28020Oh, brother- men, who make these things, is this a pleasant sight?
28020On what else, I ask, are the hundreds of women depending, who this hour demand in our courts a release from burdensome contracts?
28020On what principle is proscription on account of color more cruel than on account of sex?

28020Or are we to adopt the French mode, which is too well known to need explanation?
28020Or that Miss Mitchell, of Nantucket, has lately discovered a planet, long looked for?
28020Or to have deposited two votes in perhaps five minutes''time, than to have spent four hours in soliciting some other person to give one?
28020Ought not we to raise him up; and is there one in this Hall who sees nothing for himself to do?
28020Perhaps, had the person making this demand had this question put to him, namely:"What reasons are there why men should vote?"
28020Pray what is it but superstition that could prompt him to such violation of benevolence and common- sense?
28020Raising her voice still louder, she repeated,"Whar did your Christ come from?
28020Recovering myself, I said,"Is it possible, Mrs. Seward, that you agree with me?

28020Shall we accept it, or shall we strive against it?
28020Shall we block the way to any individual aspiration?
28020Shall we not, then, at once demand of them-- demand of every sovereign State in the Union-- the elective franchise for woman?
28020Shall we talk of failure, because forty, twenty, or seven years have not perfected all things?
28020Shall we talk of the Anti- Slavery Cause as a"failure,"while our whole great nation is shaking as if an Etna were boiling below?
28020She said to herself:"What is to hinder me from going into this business?
28020Should she not be left where the Turkish women are left?
28020Should the females of New York be placed on a level of equality with males before the law?
28020Should the king of the United States be greater, or more crueler, or more harder?
28020Should we then have to give these up?
28020So they say; but why not hear her on the matter?
28020Speaking to the men in a strangely quiet, voice, she said:"Can you not tell me?
28020Suppose I should go to vote, and some man should push me back and say,"You want to be Governor, do n''t you?"

28020Why are the press and the pulpit, with all their eulogiums of her virtues, so oblivious to the humiliating fact of her disfranchisement?
28020Why are there so many women in the Church?
28020Why did you make that issue at that time?
28020Why do women talk thus?
28020Why do you not do something?"
28020Why does she claim them?
28020Why go to the Bible to settle this question?
28020Why go to the Bible?
28020Why have they so little practical effect?
28020Why have we come from the East and from the West, and from the North?
28020Why is it brought here but to kindle up sectarian fires?
28020Why is it that one- half the people of this nation are held in abject dependence-- civilly, politically, socially, the slaves of man?
28020Why is it worse to go to the ballot- box with our male friends, than to the church, parties, or picnics, etc.?
28020Why may not women claim to be tried by a jury of their peers, with exactly the same right as men claim to be and actually are?
28020Why may she not obey this impulse, and bear the tidings of a world''s salvation to those perishing in darkness and sin?
28020Why must they?
28020Why not go to work?"
28020Why not treat the subject with some show of honesty?
28020Why not vote, then?
28020Why proclaim our sex on the house- tops, seeing that it is a badge of degradation, and deprives us of so many rights and privileges wherever we go?
28020Why refer this to the Bible?
28020Why should it not be so?
28020Why should not the polls, also, be civilized by her presence?
28020Why should not wives, equally with husbands, be entitled to their own earnings?
28020Why should not woman seek to be a reformer?
28020Why should not woman''s work be paid for according to the quality of the work done, and not the sex of the worker?
28020Why should she not be?
28020Why should women vote?
28020Why should women, any more than men, be taxed without representation?
28020Why talk?
28020Why then should the wife, at the death of her husband, not be his heir to the same extent that he is heir to her?
28020Why, said he, are there no young women sitting at the reporters''desks, taking note of the proceedings of this Convention?
28020Why?
28020Why?
28020Wider and deeper its ravages threaten to extend themselves; and to every benevolent mind comes the earnest question, What must now be done?
28020Will He who led our fathers across the stormy winter seas forsake their children who have put their trust in Him?
28020Will Mr. Beecher go to the Bible for his justification?
28020Will Mr. Beecher limit his wife and sisters in the given case to their pens?
28020Will he pay John fifty cents for cooking, and take the rest himself?
28020Will it be answered that we are factious, discontented spirits, striving to disturb the public order, and tear up the old fastnesses of society?
28020Will our American brethren put us in this position?
28020Will that be, to us, an argument that the tyrant is in the right?
28020Will you correct your error?
28020Will you give me your authority?"
28020Will you give me your reasons?"
28020Will you go to St. Joseph and lecture on woman''s rights?
28020Will you not teach them to do so?
28020Will you permit me to answer and remark upon a few of his inquiries?
28020Will you tell us, that women have no Newtons, Shakespeares, and Byrons?
28020Wirt on this subject:"Is not_ our_ conduct toward this sex ill- advised and foolish in relation to our own happiness?
28020With a humorous, give- it- up sort of laugh, he remarked, abruptly:"You are an editor; do you ever lecture?"
28020With what decent show of justice, then, can man, thus dishonored, claim a continuance of this suicidal confidence?
28020Woman is a part of the human commonwealth; why deprive her of a voice in its government?
28020Would any gentleman like to have that law reversed?
28020Would any of you like such power as that to be placed in our hands?
28020Would he have taken the place he has now?
28020Would he impose it?
28020Would not one code answer for all of like needs and wants?
28020Would not your whole soul revolt from such an union?
28020Would you find room for some of my lucubrations?
28020Yes, she can assert it, but does that assertion constitute a true marriage?
28020Yet what is there in the highest range of intellectual pursuits, to which woman may not rightfully aspire?
28020Yet, is it not as fair that married women should dispose of their property, as that married men should dispose of theirs?
28020You ask, would you have woman, by engaging in political party bickerings and noisy strife, sacrifice her integrity and purity?
28020You open to her the door of science: why should she enter?
28020You say she_ can not_ do this and that, but if so, what need of a law to prevent her?
28020Your pastoral rights and powers from harm, Think ye, can words alone preserve them?
28020_ Reverend_ for what?
28020_ Reverend_ for what?
28020and often more?
28020and yet shall she find there no woman''s face or voice to pity and defend?
28020and"How shall we do it?"
28020are there not sorrows enough in our best condition?
28020do you hope thus to break the force of my argument?"
28020have we not temptations strong enough within and without?
28020is this not adding insult to injury?
28020my dear Horace, it is done; now say, what shall woman: do next?"
28020said I,"women?"
28020that all these sad, miserable people are bound together by God?
28020that under our present laws married women have no right to the wages they earn?
28020the Spirit or the Convention?"
28020the insane, the idiot, the deaf and dumb for his asylum?
28020to have at their disposal their own children, without being subject to the constant interference and tyranny of an idle, worthless profligate?
28020what are the motives that impel them to this course of action?
28020what do they want?
28020what does she do out?"
28020what does the term mean?
28020what would the breaking of every window be?
28020where is the home- shelter that guards the delicacy of the drunkard''s wife and daughter?
28020where is thy glory?
28020where the law office, the bar, or the bench, now urging them to take part in the jurisprudence of the nation?
28020who hires bullies to fight for her?
28020with so much bribery, so much corruption, so much quarrelling in the domestic councils?
28020would have made every thirty- fifth voter a rum- seller?
28020your frail ones, taught to lean lovingly and confidingly on man?
28039But Theodore is not a weekly; why did he not come to the Convention and tell us what he thought?
28039But what is we to do? 28039 But would you have woman hold elections like ours"?
28039But,I said,"did n''t he know how black you were before he married you?"
28039But,said Ting,"what is the special object of your preaching Christianity?"
28039Can you let me stay anywhere?
28039How many have you?
28039Is she to be taxed in South Carolina to support the aristocracy?
28039Shall Maria pay a tax and have no voice?
28039Shall this softer, gentler, more fragile creature be the equal of the ruder, stouter man?
28039Well, dare you?
28039Well, then, why do you try to convert the women?
28039Well,said I,"why do n''t he support the children?"
28039What does it mean? 28039 What have you done?"
28039What next?
28039What relations?
28039Why has he left you?
28039Will you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly?
28039Would you have a woman participate in the scenes preliminary to an election?
28039''Who has we but the Lord and you?''
28039''s misapprehension of his rights justify his act?
28039..."What then, is the next step,"he asks,"in the progress of reconstruction?"
280392. Who may act as attorneys?
280397: Secondly, who are capable of becoming agents?
28039A LADY: I want to ask the lady who just spoke if the women of the Revolution found it necessary to form Loyal Leagues?
28039A LADY: If the men would give themselves, why not freely?
28039A MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: The question was asked, as I entered this house,"Is it right for women to meet here and intermeddle in our public affairs?"
28039A VOICE: Allow me to inquire if men have a right to vote on this question?
28039A VOICE:--Is that not all true about black women?
28039A VOICE:--What are they doing?
28039A change might come-- even to them, but if it did not, ought they not to pity other women whose situation was less comfortable than their own?
28039A lady of society asked me,"Are you in favor of woman''s rights?"
28039A lady says to me,"What more can be expected of women if men fail to some extent in our military affairs?"
28039A thousand times in the last years, in this struggle for bread, have I been asked,"Why do n''t you let your sons support you?"
28039Again, if the right to share in the joint government is not inherent, from whence does it come?
28039Again, in the trial of the inspectors of election, why were both judge and jurymen so merciful?
28039Amendment apply to her?
28039Amendment declaring that it shall not be denied on account of either race, color, or previous condition of servitude, to be regarded?
28039Amendment speaks of all persons, etc., and declares them to be citizens, it means all male persons and unmarried females?
28039Amendment, are qualified to hold office?
28039Amendment, by what possible authority are they voting by hundreds of thousands throughout this country?
28039Amendment, the privilege of earning a livelihood by practicing at the bar of a judicial court?
28039Amendment?
28039Amendment?
28039Amendment?
28039Amendment?
28039Amendments secured suffrage to women as well as to colored men, who would be willing to admit that they desired to obtain suffrage through trickery?
28039Amendments, in some way or other, the colored man came into possession of this right of suffrage; and the question is, where did he get it?
28039Among these is the question,"Are women equal with men?"
28039And I say to the oldest daughter,"Can you shoot?"
28039And are there any intrinsic necessary conditions that go to constitute liberty in society?
28039And do you know why?
28039And has not also the moral and spiritual nature its inalienable rights?
28039And how shall provision be made for us unless we make it ourselves by voting for it?
28039And how shall we acquire this unless we are taught?
28039And how shall we be taught unless provision is made for us?
28039And if a man may divest himself of this right, what right is sacred from his renunciation?
28039And if a woman is bad enough to commit a heinous crime, must we absurdly assume that women are too good to know that there is such a crime?
28039And if exemptions which appertain to males may be recognized as valid, why not similar exemptions for like reason when applied to females?
28039And if it be either of these, shall we say that education has unsphered and unsexed her?
28039And if men can not live in this country in safe homes, except their neighbor men are enfranchised, can they live without enfranchised women any more?
28039And if not, is there any reason why she should not do directly what she does indirectly?
28039And if suffrage was necessarily one of the absolute rights of citizenship, why confine the operation of the limitation to male inhabitants?
28039And if that be so, how can their admission rightfully depend upon the majority?
28039And is not their political subjection as absolute as was that of the African slaves?
28039And is there a man who does not know, that when questions of justice and humanity are blended, woman''s instinct is better than man''s judgment?
28039And now, let me ask you, what are these men sent here for and who sent them?
28039And now, may a woman be an artist?
28039And shall an American woman shrink from her duty when there is so much power in her hands for good?
28039And shall it not also be pre- eminently so with woman?
28039And shall we say that a woman may properly command an army, and yet can not vote for a Common Councilman in the city of Washington?
28039And should not the ballot- box be as respectable, and as respected, and as sacred as the church?
28039And the great question of to- day is, How shall work find leisure, and in leisure knowledge and refinement?
28039And upon what principle ought they to be asked?
28039And what grew there?
28039And what has the great little Napoleon done?
28039And when I say,"Is it so?"
28039And where can there be a virtuous and happy home unless a Christian marriage shall have consecrated it?
28039And who does not know that they govern us?
28039And who, by common consent, is the educator of the world?
28039And why now, and why not ten, fifteen, or twenty years ago?
28039And why should not even Republican government take to itself other modes of administration without infraction of its fundamental liberties?
28039And why so?
28039And why?
28039And why?
28039And will our force all fail, having done that?
28039And would the gentleman also contend that a lack of power to cut off a thing not in existence also creates the thing?
28039Are lawyers, merchants, tailors, cobblers, bootblacks less skilled in their specialties because they vote?
28039Are not all our chief possessions held in common?
28039Are not these interests equal to those of the negro and of his race?
28039Are not women as much interested in good government as men?
28039Are not women people?
28039Are not"the truths as self- evident"to- day to the intelligent public as they were a century ago?
28039Are politicians so pure, politics so exalted, the polls so immaculate, men so moral, that woman would pollute the ballot and contaminate the voters?
28039Are the instincts of woman so low that unless man puts up a bar, she will immediately fall into man''s obscene conversation and disreputable habits?
28039Are the men alone to say?
28039Are there not large classes even among men in this country who are exempt from service in our armies for physical incapacity and for other reasons?
28039Are there seventeen students in Harvard College who take mathematical astronomy, do you think?"
28039Are there two laws in this country, one for the negro, and another for woman?
28039Are these to be excluded from the polls?
28039Are they capacities merely?
28039Are they capacities merely?
28039Are they degraded?
28039Are they lacking in the necessary intelligence?
28039Are they not also rights?
28039Are they not also rights?
28039Are they not shown to be subjects of the other half, who are the sovereigns?
28039Are we and future generations to be ever imprisoned in the uncouth alternative of monarchical or democratic forms as they now obtain?
28039Are we only a handful?
28039Are we sure that he, once entrenched in all his inalienable rights, may not be an added power to hold us at bay?
28039Are we to have no progress in the modes of government among men?
28039Are women not Saxons?
28039Are women politically oppressed that they need the ballot for their protection?
28039Are you a rich man, afraid of your money?
28039Are you to compel wickedness and crime?
28039Are you to force prostitution and wrong upon those people by these unjust laws?
28039Are you willing to believe, women, that your girls are sixteen times less valuable than the boys?
28039As I asked one of my friends one day,"What are you rebelling for?
28039As Milton so grandly says in Paradise Lost: What though the field be lost?
28039As capital has ever ground labor to the dust, is it just and generous to disfranchise the poor and ignorant because they are so?
28039As to her not being protected, what lady has ever said that her rights were not protected because she had not the right of suffrage?
28039At that time, in an article entitled,"Can a Judge Direct a Verdict of Guilty?
28039Ay, sir, did it not only respond to a demand which was there pressed, but did it not imply a duty, a pledge which this party ought to redeem?
28039Aye, more, that a principle He has made true, it is not safe not to apply?
28039Because a man is a father, must he needs be nothing else?
28039Because it is not a natural right, is it any less unjust to deprive a large part of the people of it?
28039Because some women are mothers, shall all women concentrate every thought in that direction?
28039Because the freedman has that talisman in his hands which the politician is looking after?
28039Because they have learned our Constitution?
28039Before the art of printing, were all men fools?
28039But I ask you, to- day,"Is it safe to bring in a million black men to vote, and not safe to bring in your mother, your wife, and your sister to vote?"
28039But are women, who are not infants, ever included in this category?
28039But at what age has any nation of any period or place become wise, rich, or even strong; to say nothing of good?
28039But did any revolution or any special trouble grow out of this recognition of woman''s right?
28039But does this concession belittle the importance of woman''s political rights?
28039But have they done as they promised?
28039But have women, then, no sphere as women?
28039But how could the amendment be written without the word"male"?
28039But how is it with men?
28039But how was it to be obtained?
28039But if she can make two dollars to his one, allowing him to carry out his part of the appointments of life, why should not she do it?
28039But if we are to have a new general in his place, we may ask, what has become of Sigel?
28039But is a self- made woman less honorable than a self- made man?
28039But is it enough, if the work for which the war is_ now_ prosecuted is not accomplished?
28039But is it true that the equality of man and woman would not be useful to society?
28039But it is asked, why make this disturbance?
28039But it is asked: What do you want of the ballot?
28039But it may be asked: If this be so, why was not the question sooner raised?
28039But it may be said, if the States had no power to abridge the right of suffrage, why the necessity of prohibiting them?
28039But suppose that a majority do not want the ballot, how does that affect the rights of the minority who do want it?
28039But the question remains, What relief can be granted?
28039But the war being over, and a new million of black males being added to the many million white males as rulers of the land, what do we find to- day?
28039But they can load all the four rifles, and he can not fire half as fast as they can load; and I say to the mother,"Can you shoot?"
28039But what are compromises, and what is laid down in those constitutions?
28039But what does election day do for him?
28039But what great reformatory movement was ever treated any better at the outset?
28039But what is an organ played with the feet, if all the upper part is left unused?
28039But what political agency has righted so many?
28039But what practical use will the ballot be to women?
28039But what put the dram- bottle out of the home?
28039But what was the result to the country?
28039But what were the rights?
28039But what word can I speak that will not be better spoken?
28039But what would it be if every foreigner and every ignorant man could not go out on election day, and prove that he was as good as anybody?
28039But when her duties called her there, who ever found her unfaithful to her trust?
28039But when they came to do that, they then asked themselves,"Where are our good right hands?"
28039But when was the consent of woman ever asked to one single act on all the statute books?
28039But who ever heard of a right being conferred by omission?
28039But who shall decide as to"spears?"
28039But who would be willing to banish from the literary world to- day such names as Browning, Hemans, Stowe, and Gage?
28039But why exclude women?
28039But would you, seriously, I am asked, would you drag women down into the mire of politics?
28039But yet I will descend a step lower; and doth not our law, temporal and spiritual, admit of women to be executrixes and administratrixes?
28039But, shall we have a woman for President?
28039But, the objectors continue, would you have women hold office?
28039But, to look at it seriously, what is the defect of this statement?
28039But,"said Sojourner,"where is Theodore Tilton''s paper?"
28039By Judge Selden:_ Q._ Did they advise the registry or did they not?
28039By what right, then, except that of mere force, do you deny me a voice in the laws which I am forced to obey?"
28039C. Storrs, a United States Commissioner, in the city of Rochester, when her case was examined?
28039CAN A WOMAN PRACTICE LAW OR HOLD ANY OFFICE IN ILLINOIS?
28039CHIEF- JUSTICE-- Coverture then incapacitated a woman from voting?
28039CONKLING.--May I ask a question?
28039Ca n''t get rum?
28039Can a ballot in the hand of woman, and dignity on her brow, more unsex her than do a scepter and a crown?
28039Can any one give a good reason why there should be such a difference between the rights of the widow and the widower?
28039Can any one tell a good reason why?
28039Can any one tell a good reason why?
28039Can any one tell me a good reason why?
28039Can it be said that the people acquire their privileges from the instrument that they themselves establish?
28039Can it be that any colored person feels like that?"
28039Can men do less than empty their pockets for the good of the race?
28039Can not they see, also, that two entire opposing civilizations are mustered into the conflict?
28039Can sex either qualify or disqualify a chooser, one of the people to cast a ballot for President?
28039Can such accusers look each other in the face and not laugh?
28039Can that be abridged which does not exist?
28039Can there be a more direct recognition of a right?
28039Can this court say that married women have no rights that are to be respected?
28039Can you Republicans so utterly stultify yourselves, can you so entirely work against yourselves, as to refuse us a Declaratory Law?
28039Can you longer deny us the protection we ask?
28039Can you think of any model so good as the divine model set before us in the family?
28039Could a State disfranchise and deprive of the right to a vote all citizens who have red hair; or all citizens under six feet in height?
28039Could ideas of justice, and liberty, and equality be more grandly and beautifully expressed than in the preamble to our Federal Constitution?
28039Cross- examination by Judge Selden:_ Q._ Prior to the election, was there a registry of voters in that district made?
28039Deprive a man or woman of that, and of what use is your habeas corpus act, of what use your law of penalties or acquittal?
28039Did Elizabeth unsex herself?
28039Did Southern slaveholders ever understand the humiliations of slavery to a proud man like Frederick Douglass?
28039Did any brave Englishman who rode into the jaws of death at Balaklava serve England on the field more truly than Florence Nightingale?
28039Did any despot ever say anything else?
28039Did his loyalty in the army count for more than her educational work in teaching the people sound principles of government?
28039Did it respond to no demand?
28039Did it show the wisdom of British Conservatism that it waited to grant the Reform bill of 1832 until England hung upon the edge of civil war?
28039Did man put woman in the parlor?
28039Did not Joan of Arc save France when the king had fled, and the armies were scattered, and English soldiers did their will in all that land?
28039Did that mean nothing?
28039Did the children, fully armed and equipped for the battle of life, spring, Minerva- like, from the brains of their fathers?
28039Did the coarse, low- bred master ever doubt his capacity to govern the negro better than he could govern himself?
28039Did the defendant vote in good faith in that belief?
28039Did the men of that period become mere satellites of the dinner- pot, the wash- tub, or the spinning- wheel?
28039Did the negro''s rough services in camp and battle outweigh the humanitarian labors of woman in all departments of government?
28039Did the sexes change places?
28039Did they say,"Go away from here; this is no place for women; you will unsex yourself?"
28039Did we wait for emancipation until the slaves petitioned to be free?
28039Did woman put man in that bar room?
28039Did you ever analyze a voter-- hold him up and see what he was?
28039Did you tell me that Mr. Greeley is a delegate to the Constitutional Convention?"
28039Do cow- boys, hostlers, pot- house politicians ever doubt their capacity to prescribe woman''s sphere better than she could herself?
28039Do n''t know?
28039Do n''t you perceive, then, the importance of the elective franchise?
28039Do n''t you represent her?
28039Do not all great thoughts come from the heart?
28039Do not moral principles, like water, seek a common level?
28039Do not the American people vote in this Senate to- day on this question?
28039Do our intelligent and refined women desire to plunge into the vortex of political excitement and agitation?
28039Do they desert their workshops, their plows, and offices, to pass their time at the polls?
28039Do they not vote in the House of Representatives?
28039Do they not, in that event, occupy politically exactly the position which the learned Chief- Justice assigns to the African slaves?
28039Do we expect any massive concentration of results?
28039Do we expect the whole- hearted sympathy of any monarchy?
28039Do we find any recognition of inequality of rights?
28039Do we not claim that here all men and women are nobles-- all heirs apparent to the throne?
28039Do you believe women should vote?
28039Do you deprive them of the ballot?
28039Do you know, my friends, what will take place if something decisive is not soon done?
28039Do you mean me, General?
28039Do you not know, Theodore, that we have vowed never to go disfranchised into the Kingdom of Heaven?
28039Do you point me to the Cabinet?
28039Do you say that Northern Republicans would not accept such a proposition?
28039Do you suppose if they had ballots they would not make their voices heard here and get for the same work the same pay?
