chapter-017	said she, when dinner was over and they had drawn round the fire;"are you still to be a great orator in spite of yourself?"
chapter-013	And who is Miss Williams?
chapter-013	But how came the hand to discompose you so much, if it was only a letter of business? chapter-013 But if you write a note to the housekeeper, Mr. Brandon,"said Marianne, eagerly,"will it not be sufficient?"

chapter-047	Who told you that Mr. Ferrars was married, Thomas?
chapter-047	Marianne''s lips quivered, and she repeated the word"Selfish?"
chapter-047	in a tone that implied,"do you really think him selfish?"
chapter-020	And what did the Colonel say?
chapter-020	Did not Colonel Brandon know of Sir John''s proposal to your mother before it was made? chapter-020 Did not I tell you, Sir John, when you spoke to me about it before, that it could not be done?
chapter-020	Do you know that you are quite rude?
chapter-020	How charming it will be,said Charlotte,"when he is in Parliament!--won''t it?
chapter-020	Is Mr. Willoughby much known in your part of Somersetshire?
chapter-020	Is it very ugly?
chapter-020	Mr. Brandon was very well I hope?
chapter-020	You have been long acquainted with Colonel Brandon, have not you?
chapter-020	But do you know, he says, he will never frank for me?
chapter-020	Had he never owned his affection to yourself?"
chapter-020	Is it true, pray?
chapter-020	It will be quite delightful!--My love,"applying to her husband,"do n''t you long to have the Miss Dashwoods come to Cleveland?"
chapter-020	Palmer?"
chapter-020	What the devil does Sir John mean by not having a billiard room in his house?
chapter-020	When is it to take place?"
chapter-020	Why did not you ask the Gilberts to come to us today?"
chapter-020	Will you come and spend some time at Cleveland this Christmas?
chapter-030	And who are the Ellisons?
chapter-030	Do you know what kind of a girl Miss Grey is? chapter-030 How do you do my dear?"
chapter-030	How is she, Miss Dashwood? chapter-030 That a gentleman, whom I had reason to think-- in short, that a man, whom I knew to be engaged-- but how shall I tell you?
chapter-030	The lady then,--Miss Grey I think you called her,--is very rich?
chapter-030	What did you hear?
chapter-030	And what does talking ever do you know?"
chapter-030	But have you likewise heard that Miss Grey has fifty thousand pounds?
chapter-030	But then you know, how should I guess such a thing?
chapter-030	But your sister does not-- I think you said so-- she does not consider quite as you do?"
chapter-030	Did you ever see her?
chapter-030	Is she said to be amiable?"
chapter-030	Is there nothing one can get to comfort her?
chapter-030	She hates whist I know; but is there no round game she cares for?"
chapter-030	What shall we play at?
chapter-030	Where did you hear it?"
chapter-030	Why do n''t he, in such a case, sell his horses, let his house, turn off his servants, and make a thorough reform at once?

chapter-015	Is anything the matter with her?
chapter-015	Our dear Willoughby is now some miles from Barton, Elinor,said she, as she sat down to work,"and with how heavy a heart does he travel?"
chapter-015	To London!--and are you going this morning?
chapter-015	And is no allowance to be made for inadvertence, or for spirits depressed by recent disappointment?
chapter-015	And last night he was with us so happy, so cheerful, so affectionate?
chapter-015	And now, Elinor, what have you to say?"
chapter-015	And, after all, what is it you suspect him of?"
chapter-015	Are no probabilities to be accepted, merely because they are not certainties?
chapter-015	But why?
chapter-015	Can they have quarrelled?
chapter-015	Do you suppose him really indifferent to her?"
chapter-015	For shame, Willoughby, can you wait for an invitation here?"
chapter-015	Has he been acting a part in his behaviour to your sister all this time?
chapter-015	Has not my consent been daily asked by his looks, his manner, his attentive and affectionate respect?
chapter-015	Has there been any inconsistency on his side to create alarm?
chapter-015	Have we not perfectly understood each other?
chapter-015	How could such a thought occur to you?
chapter-015	Is Allenham the only house in the neighbourhood to which you will be welcome?
chapter-015	Is he not a man of honour and feeling?
chapter-015	My Elinor, is it possible to doubt their engagement?
chapter-015	Though we have not known him long, he is no stranger in this part of the world; and who has ever spoken to his disadvantage?
chapter-015	What can it be?
chapter-015	Why else should he have shown such unwillingness to accept your invitation here?"
chapter-015	can he be deceitful?"
chapter-015	cried Mrs. Dashwood as she entered:--"is she ill?"
chapter-015	my dear child, do you accuse Willoughby and Marianne of concealment?
chapter-029	Dearest Marianne, who but himself? chapter-029 Do you call me happy, Marianne?
chapter-029	Yes, why should I stay here? chapter-029 Yes: could that be wrong after all that had passed?
chapter-029	Yet you wrote to him?
chapter-029	Beyond you three, is there a creature in the world whom I would not rather suspect of evil than Willoughby, whose heart I know so well?"
chapter-029	But could it be so?
chapter-029	By whom can he have been instigated?"
chapter-029	Can not we be gone to- morrow?"
chapter-029	Do n''t we all know that it must be a match, that they were over head and ears in love with each other from the first moment they met?
chapter-029	Have you forgot the last evening of our being together at Barton?
chapter-029	Have you no comforts?
chapter-029	I came only for Willoughby''s sake-- and now who cares for me?
chapter-029	Is your loss such as leaves no opening for consolation?
chapter-029	Oh, barbarously insolent!--Elinor, can he be justified?"
chapter-029	Pray, when are they to be married?"
chapter-029	The Middletons and Palmers-- how am I to bear their pity?
chapter-029	The contents of her last note to him were these:--"What am I to imagine, Willoughby, by your behaviour last night?
chapter-029	Whatever he might have heard against me, ought he not to have suspended his belief?
chapter-029	When he told me that it might be many weeks before we met again-- his distress-- can I ever forget his distress?"
chapter-029	Who regards me?"
chapter-029	Willoughby, where was your heart when you wrote those words?
chapter-029	how can you talk so?
chapter-029	no friends?
chapter-029	ought he not to have told me of it, to have given me the power of clearing myself?
chapter-029	who can require it?"
chapter-044	Ah!--no,--have you forgot what passed in town? chapter-044 And you do think something better of me than you did?"
chapter-044	Are you going back to town?
chapter-044	But the letter, Mr. Willoughby, your own letter; have you any thing to say about that?
chapter-044	Did you tell her that you should soon return?
chapter-044	For God''s sake tell me, is she out of danger, or is she not?
chapter-044	Has she?
chapter-044	Is this the real reason of your coming?
chapter-044	Well, sir,said Elinor, who, though pitying him, grew impatient for his departure,"and this is all?"
chapter-044	What do you mean?
chapter-044	You did then,said Elinor, a little softened,"believe yourself at one time attached to her?"
chapter-044	Am I,--be it only one degree,--am I less guilty in your opinion than I was before?
chapter-044	And after all, what did it signify to my character in the opinion of Marianne and her friends, in what language my answer was couched?
chapter-044	And now do you pity me, Miss Dashwood?
chapter-044	And, in short, what do you think of my wife''s style of letter- writing?--delicate-- tender-- truly feminine-- was it not?"
chapter-044	But I have injured more than herself; and I have injured one, whose affection for me--(may I say it?)
chapter-044	But have I ever known it?
chapter-044	Could it be an impartial one?
chapter-044	Did she show it you?"
chapter-044	God be praised!--But is it true?
chapter-044	Have I explained away any part of my guilt?"
chapter-044	Is there a man on earth who could have done it?
chapter-044	Now will you listen to me?"
chapter-044	Smith?"
chapter-044	Tell me honestly,"--a deeper glow overspreading his cheeks,"do you think me most a knave or a fool?"
chapter-044	That infamous letter?
chapter-044	Well may it be doubted; for, had I really loved, could I have sacrificed my feelings to vanity, to avarice?
chapter-044	What is it, that you mean by it?"
chapter-044	Why was it necessary to call?"
chapter-044	Willoughby?"
chapter-044	Your sister is certainly better, certainly out of danger?"
chapter-044	is it really true?"
chapter-044	or have I said all this to no purpose?
chapter-044	or, what is more, could I have sacrificed hers?
