36218	But what kind of a race of sloths and slugs will you have?
36218	But what of yours?
36218	But what under the sun would I do with either that or mine?
36218	But what''s the use?
36218	But who does?
36218	But who knows, or cares anything about them-- even knows the name of a single constellation?
36218	By the way, do you know that since women took to athletics their peculiar disorders have increased about fifty per cent?
36218	Ca n''t you have one done in fast colors and let me have it?
36218	Can California beat that?
36218	Can poor little I hope for anything better?
36218	Can you guess my feelings when I view this Dream- land-- my Realm of Adventure, inhabited by memories that beckon me from every valley?
36218	Can you let the matter wait a little longer?
36218	Can you not ride three horses at once if they are suitably dead?
36218	Can you"put me on"?
36218	Could he have learned that important fact in California, except by hearsay?

36218	If London wants to criticise your"Star poem"what''s the objection?
36218	If so, I think we should have a night in New York first, no?
36218	If you want him to see your poem why not send it to him?
36218	In the character of"innocent bystander"I ought to be fairly safe if I do n''t have too much money on me, do n''t you think?
36218	Is it not so?--or_ was_ it not?
36218	Is it nothing to me to be called"Master"by such as you?

36218	MY DEAR STERLING, Where are you going to stop?--I mean at what stage of development?
36218	May I hope, then, to see you?
36218	May I say that it is a little sing- songy-- the lines monotonously alike in their caesural pauses and some of their other features?
36218	May I tell you what you already know-- that you are deficient in spelling and punctuation?
36218	Must one be judged by his average, or may he be judged, on occasion, by his highest?
36218	My opinion of it?

36218	P.S.--In your studies of poetry have you dipped into Stedman''s new"American Anthology"?
36218	Poetry is the highest of arts, but why be a specialist?
36218	Pray for me?
36218	Pretty fair, but-- if a metrical composition full of poetry is not a poem what is it?
36218	That is very intelligent of her, do n''t you think?
36218	Then where is our grievance?
36218	Until then-- How?
36218	Was it not Dr. Holmes who advised a young writer to cut out every passage that he thought particularly good?
36218	Was it not so in the copy that I first had, or do I think so merely because the cry of one is more lone and awful than the cry of a number?
36218	Was it?

36218	Why did n''t I tell you so?
36218	Why should it assist in the rite?
36218	Why, then, do_ I_ not put up the money?
36218	Wilde''s work is all right, but what can one do with the work of one whose name one can not speak before women?
36218	Will I tell you what I think of your magazine?
36218	Will I write a preface for the book?
36218	Will you kindly assure her of my sympathy?
36218	Will you kindly do so?
36218	Will you not cultivate some art within the scope of my capacity?

12793	Eh?
