50844It is, is n''t it?
50844Let me use that comb-- and would you please make me a dress? 50844 Start over?
50844That again? 50844 What''s that?"
50844Who cares? 50844 Will it be here after I die?"

50844Why did n''t I see you, then?"
50844Why do n''t you accept the fact that I''m alive?"
50844Why should n''t my subconscious mind have as much power as my conscious mind?

50844You want proof?

59514But you''re a husband, Alan...."How is it fired?
59514But, Sally, what else could I do? 59514 Do with them?
59514Here we are are n''t we? 59514 How do you know, sweetie?"
59514I suppose,Sally said,"that you''re coming to a point, dear?"
59514Mate with sterilies?
59514Share you with these... these desert rats who just raided us, who killed eight of our clan?
59514What about?
59514What-- what does the Turtle clan think of this plan of yours?
59514And besides, what difference does it make if we''ve got forty of them?
59514As it is, how much true companionship do you secure from me-- any of you?
59514But just what did you mean?"
59514Confound it, ca n''t you warriors realize what I''m saying?
59514Could this be a daughter of his?
59514Deer from the south, Coyote or Horse from the east?
59514Do you realize that in the fifteen years I have been the husband of this clan, we have not had even one fertile man child born?
59514Do you realize that in the past twenty years there has been born not one fertile man child in the Turtle clan?
59514Have you ever heard of any such phenomenon before?
59514How is the Bren gun fired?"
59514Make it yourself?"
59514Nobody thought we''d waste bullets on them did they?"
59514Only one in the Burro clan?"
59514Sally said impatiently,"What has this got to do with the prisoners, Alan dear?"
59514Sally said,"And we''d have to share you with all these, and with our prisoners as well?"
59514Sally said,"How... how do you mean, dear?"
59514She said,"And if we share you with another forty or fifty women, to what extent will the rest of us have any husband at all?"
59514Vivian said impatiently,"What''s this got to do with the prisoners?
59514Vivian said,"Well, what''re you worrying about, Jean?
59514What do you say?"
59514Who could it be this time?
59514Who ever heard of such a thing?"
59514Why do n''t you tell us something about... well, about hunting, or true fighting?"
59514You did n''t... the prisoners?"
51241But where the heck is the rusty old thing?
51241How did you get in?
51241How did you know I was a man when I came back?
51241How in the world can we cross it?
51241How would I know?
51241How would_ I_ know how many girls there are?
51241Looking for a good time?
51241Maybe it''s just what we need, but to eat baby food with a man wearing a diaper.... Tell me, Roddie, how did you happen to know where to find it?
51241So few young men are left, so many casualties....But why do you-- we-- keep up the fight?"
51241What are you trying to do?
51241What''ll we do when it''s light?
51241Who do you think you are?
51241Who do you think_ you_ are?
51241Why are_ you_ here? 51241 Why did the soldier let us go?"
51241Why should you cry?
51241Wuzzums hungry?
51241Boat?
51241But who was his enemy?
51241But, say, how are we going to get away from here?"
51241Did n''t they ever tell you that the city is our home, even if the stupid androids do keep us out?
51241Do n''t you know how dependent we are on these raids for all our tools and things?"
51241Do n''t you realize we''re the same sort of being, we two?
51241Do n''t you see?
51241Do you think I was being silly?"
51241Don''t-- don''t you remember how we''ve been with each other all day?"
51241Emotion is for creating, and it''s so much more logical to destroy, is n''t it?"
51241I mean, sure, the others are after tools and things, but what''s_ your_ purpose?"
51241Just how many girls_ are_ there in this raiding party?"
51241Loyalty to your own sort, kindness, affection-- all emotional, are n''t they?
51241Now?"
51241Roddie.... Whose boat did you come in, Roddie?"
51241Tough, was n''t it, getting separated in the fog and tide like that?
51241What could have entered through the iron cover?
51241What was a boat?
51241What''s rational about murdering a defenseless girl in cold blood?
51241Where were you?"
51241Why wo n''t you let me go and fight?"
51241Will you go with me?
29662And all the beautiful things you told me?
29662And do you suppose I''m not?
29662Are you afraid, too?
29662But it is true?
29662Can I count? 29662 Can you count?"
29662Count myself, should I?
29662Do n''t you suppose I want to get outside, too, and be carefree and have a good time? 29662 Even the garden?"
29662Have we listened to this racket long enough?
29662Have you food? 29662 Is it tears I get for a welcome?"
29662Is this a kindergarten? 29662 Or are those only to greet God''s own breath, the air?"
29662Or is it that this is a free- love town or a harem spot, or just a military post?
29662Really?
29662So you do n''t care enough about your old husband''s success to make one supreme effort in spite of feeling bad?
29662Sorry? 29662 Then why are n''t you careful?
29662What do you mean?
29662What''s it like up there?
29662What''s your name?
29662Yes?
29662You do n''t suppose I''m a bloody saint, do you?
29662You have n''t forgotten, have you, Effie, that until last month the Committee was so concerned about your sterility? 29662 You see, Hank?
29662You''re not making it up?
29662And yet, was this so much better?
29662Centuries?
29662Do n''t you see that that''s the all- important thing and that we have to behave like mature adults and make sacrifices for it?"
29662Do you know, Effie, that when I first came in, I had some very good news for you?
29662Do you take me for a complete simpleton, man?
29662He broke off suddenly and asked,"Do any of you ever venture outside?"
29662He said quietly,"I do suppose you still realize the sort of world you''re living in?"
29662How could he be this way, if the dust hurt the brave?
29662Oh, and then the new children--""You''re telling the truth?"
29662That they were about to enter my name on the list of those waiting to be allotted a free woman?
29662That''s true, is n''t it?"
29662What drives you to it?"
29662What the devil are you up to?"
29662What''s the good of being sorry?
29662Why the devil do you do such things, Effie?
29662Years ago?
29662You want to go back to the basement tenements?"
59415And what if he dies up there?
59415Business?
59415But if you do n''t re- educate his brain, what can you re- educate? 59415 But what has all this to do with re- education?"
59415But,Mudgett said,"suppose he was right?
59415Eh? 59415 He knows it''s impossible, does n''t he?"
59415It takes a long time?
59415Name?
59415Now, answer me this question: why is it that, despite all these protections,_ every single person_ in an opened city dies?
59415Platelets Rh VI?
59415Shall I bring him in?
59415Shock?
59415Stopped?
59415That enormous object can process only one man at a time?
59415We lose three- fifths of every topside party as it is-- and Hamelin''s an inexperienced--"Might be the best thing, might n''t it?
59415Well?
59415What kind of changes?
59415What then?
59415When?
59415When?
59415Who''ll know? 59415 You mean electroshock?
59415You would like to undergo the process yourself?
59415And what can we do about the unrecognized, sub- clinical cases, which probably total twice as many?
59415Are you still with me?"
59415At last Carson said mildly:"Why are n''t_ we_ immune to everything by now?"
59415But where does that leave us?
59415Could n''t the damned thing be trained to knock?
59415Do you know the counter- slogan that''s circulating among the people?"
59415Does that seem inconsistent?
59415Every one of those four million persons is a major hazard to his neighbors and to his job, but how can we do without them?
59415He said:"This process-- it''s painful?"
59415His reflexes, perhaps?"
59415How could it?
59415How long can we continue operating without a collapse under such conditions?"
59415I should know, should I not, what it is that I''m advocating for my following?
59415Know it intimately, from personal experience, not just theory?
59415Mudgett looked up from his desk and said at once:"What now?"
59415Shall I tell you how Louisville fell?"
59415That platelet type does n''t exist at all in our population now, does it?
59415What about all that talk of his about mass insanity?"
59415Why?
51115Any luck with your... what was it...? 51115 Are n''t they still good years?"
51115But why bother?
51115Do n''t we?
51115Does that make sense?
51115Ever try writing?
51115I suppose this is the time you twirl your black mustache and tell me you have a wife and family elsewhere?
51115I was almost sure.... Can you really remember them all? 51115 If you loved me....""Have I ever said I did?"
51115Is n''t it rather unusual? 51115 Is something going to happen to you?
51115No, it was n''t very funny, was it?
51115Now was that a gag or not? 51115 Now what were you trying to tell me?"
51115That the editor was also surprising? 51115 Then if the agnoton,"he ventured,"is something that they imported, is it possible that their supply might run short?"
51115Undignified, is n''t it?
51115Vyrko dear.... What you said when you were listening to that funny music.... Do n''t you love me?
51115Well.... Are n''t you...?
51115What''s so fascinating?
51115Who?
51115You do n''t love me? 51115 ***** The next morning Raquel greeted her with,Manningcita, who''s Norbert Holt?"
51115..._ unsuccessful_.... Now why in Heaven''s name, mused Manning Stern, should I be thinking of martinis at breakfast time?
51115A girl might as well be in a... a....""_ Convent?_"Vyrko suggested.
51115And Lavra had poked the green button because Norbert Holt had said she had poked( would poke?)
51115But at that, what do I live on until I get started?"
51115Care to continue this slugfest over a martini or five?
51115Do n''t know if you can take shorthand, for instance?
51115Holt?"
51115Is he perhaps one of your writers?"
51115Maybe if I toss it out to the literary lions....""Story problem?"
51115Not after...?"
51115Or do you...?
51115Or does he?
51115Or play the bull fiddle?"
51115The kiss was a short one; Lavra had to say,"And what next?"
51115We came in here editor and author-- remember back when?
51115We do n''t go in much for being serious, do we?
51115We had( will have?)
51115What happens next?"
51115You come home and meet her and have potluck, huh?"
51115Your father''s?
51379A thousand years? 51379 And that-- that was all they taught you of Abraham Brown?"
51379Before? 51379 But even if I could play them,"he muttered, now tolerantly amused,"I could n''t do it in unison, could I?
51379Did they teach you reading and writing?
51379Do you know how old you are?
51379Eh?
51379Millstone? 51379 Millstone?"
51379They who told you to call them Jonas and Abigail, they were the only old ones who lived with you?
51379Was there? 51379 Where do you come from?"
51379***** Why assume that the maker of the bonfire was necessarily hostile?
51379Abraham_ Brown_?
51379Astonished, the boy asked:"Is it not enough?"
51379Brian spoke vaguely, almost deaf to his own words until they were past recovering:"That?
51379But damn it, Brian thought, my world has some rights, has n''t it?
51379Denver?
51379Did he-- he who told you to call him Jonas, did he teach you anything about the world as it was in the old days, before you were born?"
51379Do you know what a musician is?"
51379Even if he had the strength and courage to go back north-- no, at seventy- six( eighty- six?
51379For example, what about the third movement, that mad Scherzo, and the five tiny interludes of sweet quiet scattered through its plunging fury?
51379Had n''t there once been a Millstone River in or near Princeton?
51379He asked carefully:"He who told you to call him Jonas, he taught you all the things you know?"
51379He chided himself instead for the foolish neuroses of aloneness-- what could it matter?
51379He had n''t given himself a real bath in-- weeks?
51379How could fire start, over there where no one ever came?
51379How many others are living at Millstone?"
51379I was a young man once, do you understand?
51379London?
51379Millstone?
51379Most of them had the gaping wounds of primitive warfare, but some were oddly discolored-- a new pestilence?
51379Nuber?
51379Only twenty- five?
51379The Old Man is angry?"
51379The boy asked:"What is that?"
51379The wheel at Nuber?
51379The wheel?_"And when did he die, boy?"
51379The wheel?_"And when did he die, boy?"
51379The_ wheel_?
51379Three o''clock?
51379What do you know about the world I lived in?"
51379What do you know of the old days?
51379What more fitting place for the last man on Earth to live in than a museum?
51379Where is Millstone?"
51379Would it be two o''clock?
51379_ There is always The Project._"Come with you?"
51662Am I going to jail?
51662And Frances?
51662Anything good on this week, Harry?
51662Break travel regulations? 51662 But why, Harry, why?"
51662I remember people, and things, and where are they now? 51662 Like hotcakes for breakfast?"
51662Me?
51662Now do you understand? 51662 She''s five already?"
51662What happened to Davie?
51662What happened to my son Davie?
51662What?
51662Where then?
51662Where''s Petey?
51662You remember how much we got for our livestock, Edna?
51662Your oldest? 51662 A rough winter? 51662 Air was different, was n''t it? 51662 And was n''t the fence gradually curving inward? 51662 And when had he sold his other livestock? 51662 Besides, he''d sold the car, had n''t he? 51662 Could a man get so confused as to forget things he''d known all his life? 51662 Could he have forgotten where town was? 51662 Could it be north of his home, not south? 51662 Davie? 51662 Dead? 51662 Disease? 51662 Engines? 51662 Everyone seemed to know about it-- or was everyone only Edna and the Shanks? 51662 HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP THEM DOWN ON THE FARM-- AFTER THEY''VE SEEN THE TRUTH? 51662 Had he bought out Lon Besser? 51662 He went quickly across the yard, past the pig- pen-- he''d had twelve pigs, had n''t he? 51662 I built it as best I could, but how large could I make it? 51662 I feel better already, and after only one.... What do you call these treatments?
51662It''ll settle your nerves and make everything....""What happened to Davie?"
51662Or had he?
51662Or had he?
51662Or had they died somehow?
51662Or was sharp the word?
51662Pick up rest?"
51662She cleared her throat, mumbled,"Huh?
51662Then Harry said,"How''s Penny?"
51662Think we''ll ever see the end of travel regulations and rationing and all the rest of the emergency?"
51662Was he forgetting again?
51662Was this how a man''s mind went?
51662What happened to who?"
51662What in the world had Sam Pangborn been thinking of to put up a monster like this?
51662When had he sold the rest?
51662Who was this Phineas Grotton?
51662Why had n''t he seen the Pangborns and Elvertons lately-- a long time lately?
51662Why should a man his age, hardly sick at all since he was a kid, suddenly start losing hold this way?
51662_ The car._ He had n''t seen the old Chevvy in... how long?
51687A-- a what?
51687All right, if that''s what_ your_ spies are doing, and if_ I''m_ a spy, then it follows that I''m doing the same thing, right?
51687And do they find any indications, ever?
51687And what are_ they_ supposed to spy on?
51687But do n''t you ever check them before de- radiating them?
51687Disconnected? 51687 Do n''t you ever wish to get Outside?"
51687Do you realize what you''ve_ done_, disconnecting the elevator? 51687 Do you see it?"
51687Do you see?
51687For what? 51687 He_ aims_ the elevator?"
51687How do I know that?
51687How do I know what they''re thinking?
51687How much radiation do they pick up? 51687 Is this the_ natural_ life of man?
51687Like you? 51687 Military equipment?
51687Outside? 51687 Ruined your life?"
51687So what happened?
51687They''re human beings, are n''t they?
51687Transparent? 51687 Well-- but why should there be any problem about getting him out?"
51687What about radiation level on the ore- sleds?
51687Why''ve you got that drape up there?
51687You got any chico coffee?
51687Your people send out spies, too, do n''t they?
51687A spy?"
51687And then I asked, as rationally as you could please,"Would you mind terribly telling me_ why_ the elevator is disconnected?"
51687And what other defenses are there?
51687Could I descend two hundred and eight steps for my true love?
51687Do n''t you people ever test them?"
51687Do you know what that means?
51687Do you realize how long it took man to get out of the caves?
51687Do you see it?
51687Do you see the green?
51687Do you understand me?"
51687He said,"Where do you live?"
51687He studied me narrowly, and suddenly said,"What did they tell you I was?
51687I understand your--""You_ understand_?"
51687Is this even a_ desirable_ life for man?
51687Like all the other people in this mausoleum?"
51687Like me?
51687My name first, and then,"What do you do for a living?"
51687Or hurry back to the apartment and call Linda, to give her advance warning that I would be late?
51687So what did Man do?
51687So what was the use of stairs?
51687Stay, hoping the elevator would come after all?
51687The long slow painful creep of progress, for millennia, before he ever made that first step from the cave?"
51687Then he motioned with his free hand at the descending stairs and whispered,"Where do they go?"
51687We had elevators, did n''t we?
51687What do you mean disconnected?
51687What do you suppose I''m going to spy on?"
51687What if I were to tell you that I_ had_ found indications that you people were planning to attack my Project?"
51687What in the world was the matter with the Army?
51687What would we want to attack anybody for?"
51687Who cares about that?"
51687Who knew how many more spies there were in the Project, still unsuspected?
51687Who knew how many years it had been since last this door had been opened?
51687Why should we?"
51687Will you be provisionally mine?"
51687You got that?"
51687_ What_ military equipment?
13944Are you his retainer?
13944But how am I to get into the place then?
13944Ca n''t I speak?
13944Do you suppose he was going to put a penny in my way when he could not get it himself?
13944Go on,said the king sarcastically;"why am I incapable?"
13944How are the stones to be thrown?
13944How ever can I get into the city?
13944How far is it to Iwis?
13944How is he to know?
13944How now,said the king, turning to Felix;"what do you say?"
13944If you want to go a voyage( where to, I ca n''t imagine), why not take a passage on board a ship?
13944Ingulph, have you ever heard of such a machine?
13944Is it nearly finished, then?
13944Is it really? 13944 Shall I?"
13944Studying last night, I suppose?
13944Surely the king would not allow it?
13944Thank you, very much,said Felix, as he wished her good day;"but why did not the man at the other ferry tell me I could cross here?"
13944The water must have been cold this morning?
13944Then, where_ are_ you going?
13944What are you going to do to- day?
13944What is it?
13944What is this?
13944What was it you did say?
13944What''s the news to me?
13944Where is the king?
13944Who''s he?
13944Why did n''t you have a hide boat made, with a willow framework and leather cover? 13944 Why did n''t you ride into town with me?"
13944Why did you make it so big? 13944 Why did you not come to us before, fellow?"
13944Why do n''t you go and live in the woods all by yourself?
13944Why not?
13944You have been to- to plough, eh?
13944After a pause, in a lower voice,"Have you any money?"
13944After a while he arose, again asking himself how should he become a leader, who had not the perseverance to enter a city in peaceful guise?
13944And how, without offending his friends?
13944And if he did permit it, why did he not, when he saw they were overthrown, send a squadron to cover their retreat?
13944And where were the iron mines, from which the ancients drew their stores of metal?
13944Are there, then, no beggars?
13944But if so, also, was life worth living, and might he not as well go and seek destruction?
13944But none do attempt; of what avail would it be to them?
13944But what on earth, or rather, on water, are you driving at?
13944But where are you going to launch it?"
13944But why did you not have a hide boat?"
13944But you might have saved much trouble and time if----""If what?"
13944Did they expect it to veer like a cyclone and presently blow east with the same vigour as it then blew west?
13944Did they, then, foresee that it would change?
13944Do you think I believe that?"
13944Have you got any hooks?"
13944He could not surely have sailed into the ocean without knowing it?
13944He spoke of the value and importance of this spot; could not the Baron send forth his retainers and enclose a new estate there?
13944He will be sent for again this morning; can not you see why?"
13944How, then, does any man remain free?
13944If so, was it worth while to go upon so strange an enterprise for her sake?
13944It is nearly noon; are you coming home to dinner?"
13944Might not a house or castle built there become the beginning of a city?
13944Might she not easily have given him an opportunity?
13944Might she not, had she chosen, have arranged a moment''s interview?
13944Oh, what shall I do?
13944Oliver began to jest at him; had he abandoned the expedition?
13944Or should he remain in the woods till he had observed more of their ways and manners?
13944Should he, indeed, venture among them at all?
13944The Blue Chamber will say,''Where can we get it?
13944The groom said that this was the king''s levy where they were; but under whose command was he?
13944The land requires some rain, does it not?
13944There was but the forest route left, and that he resolved to attempt; but when?
13944There would not be any trial; who would waste time in trying so insignificant a wretch?
13944They have some wonderful diamonds, have they not--_Countess?_""Felix!"
13944To what"war"did Felix belong?
13944To whose"war"did he belong?
13944Was it not clear that she was ashamed of her girlish fancy for a portionless and despised youth?
13944Were the stories of the gold and silver mines of Devon and Cornwall true?
13944What crime can be greater than the admission of such foreigners as the guards of our cities?
13944What was there behind the immense and untraversed belt of forest which extended to the south, to the east, and west?
13944What''s the canoe for?"
13944What''s your object?
13944When was the Peninsula at peace?
13944When was there not a danger from the northern mainland?
13944Where are the wonderful structures with which the men of those days were lifted to the skies, rising above the clouds?
13944Where are you going?
13944Where did the great Lake end?
13944Who could attack us?
13944Who''s weakest?''
13944Why do n''t you get up and come?
13944Why make further efforts when they already had what they desired?
13944Why, what has come to you?
13944Without money, without a retinue, how could he expect to be received or listened to?
13944and when was there not some mischief and change brewing in the republics?
13944who?"
13944why did n''t you tell me before?"
53611''Ard work for you to get a livin'', I suppose?
53611''Aven''t you got any candles?
53611''Oo risked his life to lay in provisions, I should like to know? 53611 ''Oo stole the tea?"
53611''Oo''d''ave thought it''d''a been that tame?
53611''Oo''s livin''with you?
53611''S that all?
53611After all, what evidence have you, beyond the Chinese reports?
53611And how do you know I might n''t be the one?
53611And is there no hope for us, here in England, in Marlow? 53611 And this other woman?"
53611And what about us?
53611And where''d you be, and all the rest of the women, if you''adn''t got no men to look after you?
53611And why not? 53611 And why not?"
53611And your mother?
53611Any news?
53611Anyone we know?
53611Anything gorne wrong?
53611Are n''t there any other men, there?
53611Are n''t you going to tell us?
53611Are we all cravens,he concluded,"scurrying like rabbits to our burrows at the first hint of alarm?"
53611Are you angry?
53611Are you going on?
53611Are you going to fetch me that terbaccer or are you not?
53611Are you quite sure there was no shops open? 53611 Are you religious?"
53611Are you sick of your work here?
53611Are you sure this is right, Blanche?
53611At what?
53611Aw, why not take the train?
53611But d''yer mean to tell me,expostulated Flack,"as all this is on account of this plague?
53611But d''yer mean to tell me,he persisted,"that Mr Barker thinks as it''ll come to England?"
53611But do you think,asked Blanche, drawing her eyebrows together,"that this sort of thing is going on always?"
53611But how can you alter it?
53611But how did you get here?
53611But now, just supposin''as this''ere plague did spread to London, and''alf the men could n''t go to work; where d''you fancy you''d be?
53611But the point is that if it once gets to Europe, who knows where it''ll stop?
53611But what, in Heaven''s name, is the weed?
53611But, I say,said Mr Prince, who had the greatest confidence in his partner''s insight,"I say, Barker, d''you think this plague''s serious?"
53611But, look here, old chap, why the devil ca n''t you stay here?
53611By the way,he said,"I wanted to ask you what you meant when you said you had seen a god in old Gosling?"
53611Can they ever grow up? 53611 Cell- specialization?"
53611Charity''s sake?
53611Clara Jenkyn, what are you doing?
53611Constantine Bay?
53611D''you mean it''s possible the train wo n''t come in at all?
53611D''you mean to say you did n''t see no one at all?
53611Did you go in to the''ouses?
53611Did you hear firing?
53611Do n''t you see that we ca n''t even explain?
53611Do you feel bad, mother?
53611Do you mean to say that the train has n''t got to Plymouth yet?
53611Do you mean to tell me there''s nowhere we can go to?
53611Do you realize that I''ve had to defend this place like a fort against thousands of your sort? 53611 Do you really believe, dear,"she said, when she had considered Jasper''s suggestion,"do you really believe that this is the end of humanity?"
53611Do you really think it''s so serious, Thrale?
53611Do you see what has happened?
53611Do you see who it is?
53611Do you smoke?
53611Do you think anyone can look even a year ahead?
53611Do you think she understands where we are or what we''re doing?
53611Do you think she''s going to be ill?
53611Do you understand?
53611Do?
53611Does it matter?
53611Does she understand agricultural machinery?
53611Drive over to Pard- stow at this time o''night?
53611Ever done any farm work?
53611Going to stampede with the rest of''em?
53611Good heavens, Mill, what''s up?
53611Has it been hot?
53611Have you forgotten anything?
53611Have you got a box of matches you''ll exchange for it?
53611Have you had bad news from Germany?
53611Have you?
53611He iss a friend? 53611 How could we get in?"
53611How is it that you''re all alive?
53611How much?
53611I am putting money on it, ai n''t I?
53611I say, Mill, do n''t you feel adventurous?
53611I say, do you think he''s ill?
53611I say, surely you do n''t come from this part of the world?
53611I say, what''s up?
53611I say, what''s up?
53611I suppose they''ll let us stop here to- night, B.?
53611I suppose you haf not heard any other reports, eh?
53611I suppose you''aven''t any milk or butter or eggs to sell?
53611I want to know if you have ever been frightened of yourself-- or of me?
53611I''ll have another look, anyway,she said; and then:"Who''d have thought he was such a brute?"
53611In Russia? 53611 Indeed?"
53611Is Miss Grant the awful woman with the broomstick?
53611Is it another shower?
53611Is it possible that this can be the means of the''higher forces''I spoke of, the means to segregate the nations once more?
53611Is it possible, is it anyway possible that America has survived? 53611 Is it serious?"
53611Is its name Alice?
53611Is n''t it awful, B.?
53611Is n''t it clean?
53611Is n''t it, Millie?
53611Is n''t there?
53611Is that how your community feel about it?
53611Is-- is every one dead?
53611It gets clogged, do you see?
53611It''s something over two hours behind now, is n''t it?
53611It''s that great brute by the gate, my dear,said Mrs Gosling,"and we''ve just----""You do n''t mean Alice?"
53611Like the glimmer of St Agnes''light, after you''d been eight weeks out of sight of land?
53611Look here,she went on,"are you all right?
53611Lord''s sakes, man, what''s the matter?
53611Lord''s sakes, you do n''t tell me so?
53611Marlow?
53611Might''a been''eart- disease, d''you think?
53611Millie?
53611Mother''s odd, is n''t she?
53611Must be doin''somethin'', I suppose?
53611My dear girl,she went on,"what do you suppose is the good of money in this world?
53611No?
53611Not by a very long chalk''e ai n''t,was his firm pronouncement...."Well, girls, what about bed?"
53611Now, look here,he continued,"do you see this hopper in here?"
53611Now, then, what are we going to do?
53611Now, where''ve I seen you before?
53611Now, you funny people, what do you want?
53611Of course you wo n''t have him as a paying guest now?
53611Oh, Jasper, what can it be?
53611Oh, ai n''t there?
53611Oh, look here,said Eileen,"you might let me come, or are you-- are you afraid of-- of what the women will say?"
53611Oh, was that it?
53611Only where?
53611Only,she added"we''ll''ave to go on breeding calves or we wo n''t get no milk, an''what are we goin''to do with the bullocks?"
53611Point is, what''s the good of getting yourself in a funk about it? 53611 Pretty awful, is n''t it?"
53611Rum go, ai n''t it?
53611Sell?
53611Shall I cast off?
53611Shall you be''ere to- morrow?
53611She''s a bit touched, is n''t she?
53611Some of us''ll have to start a hareem, soon; who knows?
53611Sorry to trouble you,he said,"but do you think this train''s been taken off, for any reason?"
53611Talking about us, father?
53611Tell me what you mean by''all right''?
53611The sex instinct, fundamentally, is n''t it?
53611This is a jolly old boat, is n''t it?
53611Tongue, eh?
53611Was''e a married man?
53611We- el,remarked Flack,"I never''eard as''is''eart was affected, did you?"
53611Well, I ca n''t''elp it, can I?
53611Well, ai n''t you going to open it, father?
53611Well, ai n''t you?
53611Well, but''ow d''you know?
53611Well, how can you expect us to get married when we have n''t got a decent thing to put on?
53611Well, to be sure,she said,"I wonder if they''d let me sit down and rest for a few minutes?
53611Well, we only brought four bottles of water with us,she said,"where are we going to get any more in Kilburn?"
53611Well, well,he said,"will you come and have tea with me at the club?"
53611Well?
53611Well?
53611Whacher got?
53611Whacher want with cigars?
53611What are you going to do with her?
53611What are you putting your hat straight for?
53611What are you talking about?
53611What can one do?
53611What did Mr Barker say to that?
53611What do they say?
53611What do you want?
53611What good is it all, if there is no future?
53611What have you got hold of now?
53611What in''eaven''s name''s wrong, gel?
53611What is it, Jasper?
53611What is it, Mill?
53611What is it?
53611What is the good of going on?
53611What is the matter?
53611What of?
53611What then?
53611What were they afraid of?
53611What yer think of this''closed door''business?
53611What''ave you got to give us as is worth food?
53611What''s he say?
53611What''s the good of money when there''s nothing to buy with it? 53611 What''s the good of''em?"
53611What''s the news?
53611What''s the time?
53611What''s up now?
53611What''s up?
53611What''s your remedy, then?
53611What? 53611 What?"
53611What?
53611What?
53611When did you leave there?
53611Where are you going?
53611Where can we go?
53611Where from did you get tongue, my gal?
53611Where have you come from?
53611Where to?
53611Where to?
53611Where''s this shop of yours?
53611Where?
53611Which of you three is in command?
53611Who are you?
53611Who would n''t be?
53611Who''d buy your''fal- lals''for you, I should like to know?
53611Who''s it for, Mill?
53611Who''s it for?
53611Who''s to be any the wiser?
53611Why ca n''t you leave me alone?
53611Why do n''t you bring the letters in?
53611Why does n''t he go himself?
53611Why me?
53611Why should Pan die and Dionysus live?
53611Why?
53611Will you change two pints of milk for a small tin of tongue?
53611Work? 53611 Wot the''ell are yer starin''at?"
53611Yes, yes-- what?
53611Yes?
53611Yes?
53611Yet?
53611You ca n''t drive me then?
53611You ca n''t mean as you wo n''t sell us a glass of milk?
53611You ca n''t steal from dead people,explained Blanche;"besides, who''ll have the things if we do n''t?"
53611You can call me''engineer,''I suppose?
53611You wait till Mr Right comes along,put in Mrs Gosling, and then turned the conversation by saying:"Well, father, what''s the news this evening?"
53611You''re Mrs Isaacson, are you? 53611 You''re not going alone?"
53611You''re not tired? 53611 You''ungry?"
53611You''ve had no advice yet from Plymouth?
53611You?
53611''Oose paid for everything you''ve eat or drunk or wore ever since you was born?
536112"Have you heard?"
53611After all why not?
53611Ai n''t I to be allowed to judge of the nature of the investment I''m goin''in for?
53611And how are we going to get back?"
53611And what are you proposing to do?"
53611And what in God''s name is the sense or reason of it?
53611And what''s it all for, I ask you?"
53611And, I say, do you think we''ll be able to raid some soap from somewhere?
53611And, my dear, what difference can it make?
53611Are you on, Mill?"
53611Are you on?"
53611Are you ready?
53611Are you sure we''re goin''right, Blanche?"
53611But iss it not better that we who are not peasants should go together?"
53611But meanwhile what of mankind?
53611But where we go?
53611But, then, who could have helped themselves?
53611Ca n''t you see that everything''s different?
53611Ca n''t you see that money''s no good, that you ca n''t eat it, or wear it, or light a fire with it, like that other woman said?
53611Ca n''t you understand, or wo n''t you?"
53611Could it be that everybody was more natural, that there was less restraint?
53611Did she tell you that, by the way?"
53611Did you want to see me about anything particular?"
53611Do n''t they bitterly resent the fact that their own men- folk are resistlessly drawn to stare at, and inwardly desire, such a woman?
53611Do n''t they know perfectly well that such a woman is attractive to men in a way their own disguised bodies can never be?"
53611Do n''t you know yourself that that attire is more attractive to you than any befrilled and bedecorated arrangement of lace, ribbons and gauds?
53611Do you know what this place has been?"
53611Do you realize that?
53611Do you think any man is attracted by a litter of odds and ends?
53611Do you think it matters what particular form of worship or pettifogging details of belief you adopt?
53611Do you think the community can spare us?"
53611Does it matter?
53611Does n''t every woman sneer when they see some Frenchwoman, perhaps, who dresses to display her figure instead of hiding it?
53611Doubtless she meditated on the many wrongs her daughters had done her, and wondered why she should have been brought out to die in this wilderness?
53611Even when Mrs Gosling asked with perfect relevance,"Are we going to stop''ere, Blanche?"
53611Five years ago I''adn''t got my big rise----""Oh, no, father; what would the neighbours think of us if we started to take boarders again?"
53611Flack lifted his spectacles and holding them on a level with his eyebrows, said,"Bad news?"
53611For a moment they stood awkwardly, staring; then Gurney said,"Any more news?"
53611Had he been alone, that plunderer, or had his companions fled from him in terror?
53611Have n''t we, Millie?"
53611Have we, Millie?"
53611Have you far to go?"
53611Have you seen it?"
53611He heard her and looked up,"What is it?"
53611He pondered that for a time, and then asked,"Who were you?"

53611How do we know that vessels have n''t been passing up the Channel for months past?
53611I am writing now to tell you that I shall be back in London in a few days, and to ask you whether you can find a room for me in Wisteria Grove?''"
53611I do n''t think----""Would n''t you be frightened of me if I picked you up and ran shouting into the woods?"
53611I thought, perhaps, you might be willing to let us have some milk and eggs and vegetables in exchange?"

53611I was willing to reject it if I could find a flaw....""And then?"
53611If she could sleep in your kitchen...?
53611If you saw Pan, why should n''t she see Dionysus?

53611Of what account was it that one girl was prettier or better dressed than her neighbour?
53611She considered earnestly for a few moments and then asked:"Did you go into Charing Cross Post Office?
53611She hesitated for a moment, and then said:"And what about you?
53611Such a silly incongruous growth, was n''t it?
53611Surely she must see that everything was different now?
53611Surely they''ll keep the water goin'', though; whatever''appens, they''d surely keep the water on?"
53611That was coming; that would have come if this plague....""What was that?"
53611There were cries of"What is it?...
53611Thirty miles or so, anyway?"
53611This is where we are facing the beginning of law-- isn''t it?
53611Understand?"
53611Was she not, also, a widow?
53611We buy heavily; yes?
53611Well, are women all fools, or what is it?"
53611Were the old gods coming back to witness the death of man, as they had witnessed his birth?
53611Were women there, also, maintaining the terrible fight against Nature in the awful struggle to find food?
53611What about your mother and you two girls?
53611What are you afraid of?"
53611What can I do?"
53611What do these huge shops sell?"
53611What had they to work for, and to hope for, save this miserable possession of unsatisfied life?
53611What hope was there for that generation?
53611What if it did?"
53611What was his name?
53611What was that?"
53611What will they be like in five years''time?
53611What work would there be to do?
53611What''d they do with money if they got it?"
53611What?"
53611What?"

53611Where are you going to sleep to- night?"
53611Where are you going?
53611Who cared if some mad woman plundered every jeweller''s shop in the whole City?
53611Who was to forbid theft or avenge murder?
53611Who would do the work?
53611Who''s that?"
53611Who''s to wind''em?"
53611Why are so many men irresistibly attracted by parlourmaids and housemaids?"
53611Why do n''t they keep away from''em?"
53611Why do n''t we have these windows cleaned sometimes?"
53611Why do the fashions change every year-- sometimes more often than that in matters of detail?
53611Why should he wait?
53611Why should we think that this is the first?"
53611Why would her mother be so foolish?
53611Why, in the name of God, could not people keep quiet?
53611Why, she argued, should n''t she go into Wycombe?
53611Will you come and help us?"
53611With one man to every thousand women or so, what can you expect?

53611Zo?"
53611a Queen, are you?"
53611ai n''t it?"
53611but shall you?"
53611ca n''t you understand, mother,"broke out Blanche petulantly,"that the whole of London is absolutely deserted?
53611ejaculated Gurney;"do you mean to say that women just accept these fashions without any sense or reason at all?"
53611through the stage of"Well, well,''ow much do you want?
53611what are you doing?"
53611what does it matter?"
53611what, what?
