chapter-011	In what does she not suit you, William? chapter-011 Of her steps?
chapter-011	Plait- il?
chapter-011	She is then a little too old for you?
chapter-011	Studies of character? chapter-011 There is character about her mouth-- firmness-- but she has a very pleasant smile; do n''t you think so?"
chapter-011	True, but that expression of craft is owing to her eyebrows; have you remarked her eyebrows?
chapter-011	What is my weak point?
chapter-011	You have not seen her looking down then?
chapter-011	And now we have discussed the directress, what of the pupils?
chapter-011	How do you like them?"

chapter-011	on what subject?
chapter-011	said the voice of M. Pelet behind me, as I set my foot on the first step of the stair,"ou allez- vous?
chapter-018	But I do not say enough, I suppose?
chapter-018	Dismission? chapter-018 Her address?
chapter-018	Monsieur fears to sit by me?
chapter-018	My praises are too cool?

chapter-018	Yet some have left it, mademoiselle?
chapter-018	Yet when you are tired of a professor or maitresse, you scruple to dismiss them?
chapter-018	Henri can hardly be considered as a concurrent with the other pupils?
chapter-018	Henri is gone from hence, and will not return?"
chapter-018	Henri''s address?
chapter-018	Henri''s departure was not voluntary, I presume?
chapter-018	Henri''s dismission, then, as a very insignificant event?"
chapter-018	Henri?

chapter-018	Quand reviendra- t- elle?"
chapter-018	You wanted her office, therefore you rendered it intolerable to her?"
chapter-018	et pour combien de temps?
chapter-018	was my involuntary exclamation; then after a pause:--"En etes- vous bien sure, Sylvie?"
chapter-023	And what, Frances, are you to me?
chapter-023	Frances, have you enough to give yourself to me as my wife?--to accept me as your husband?
chapter-023	Frances, how much regard have you for me?
chapter-023	Have I been nothing else?
chapter-023	Have I been so, Frances?
chapter-023	However, it must be so for the present; and, monsieur, were you not saying something about my giving up my place? chapter-023 Monsieur est raisonnable, n''est- ce pas?"
chapter-023	Monsieur sera- t- il aussi bon mari qu''il a ete bon maitre?
chapter-023	Monsieur,said the soft voice at last,--"Monsieur desire savoir si je consens-- si-- enfin, si je veux me marier avec lui?"
chapter-023	Well, Frances?
chapter-023	Were you not happy in my care? chapter-023 Will my pupil consent to pass her life with me?
chapter-023	Yes; especially when I am requested to be so in English: but why do you ask me? chapter-023 Can this be so? chapter-023 Dared I think that but half a street now divided me from the full cup of contentment-- the draught drawn from waters said to flow only in heaven? chapter-023 Did I not faithful prove? chapter-023 How was Frances? chapter-023 I like that; and my efforts to get on will be as unrestrained as yours-- will they not, monsieur?
chapter-023	Impatient of seeing food which I could not taste, I put it all aside into a cupboard, and then demanded,"What shall I do till evening?"
chapter-023	Is anybody in?"
chapter-023	Is she in?
chapter-023	They called in haste; he bade me go, Then snatched me back again; He held me fast and murmured low,"Why will they part us, Jane?"
chapter-023	Was I so then?
chapter-023	Were not all sages agreed in declaring that happiness finds no climax on earth?
chapter-023	When are we quite happy?
chapter-023	Will others to my darling bear As true, as deep a love?
chapter-023	You see nothing vehement or obtrusive in my manner; am I not tranquil enough?"
chapter-023	You will teach still, I suppose, monsieur?"
chapter-019	And if you get what you wish, what then? chapter-019 But, monsieur, how can I tell you what I do not know?"
chapter-019	Did he say anything?
chapter-019	How, then, do you propose to get on? chapter-019 Is it truly?
chapter-019	She was ill but a short time, I presume?
chapter-019	What are you going to do?
chapter-019	Where do you live?
chapter-019	Who brought the packet?
chapter-019	You have then no home?
chapter-019	Your aunt is dead?
chapter-019	And the directress would not let her in to bid me good- bye?
chapter-019	And these five- franc pieces?"
chapter-019	And would she be so docile, so smiling, so happy under my instructions if she had not?
chapter-019	How can I get at her?"
chapter-019	How do you live now?"
chapter-019	I asked:"not surely to light a fire this hot evening?
chapter-019	Our agony is great, and how can it end?
chapter-019	Reuter?"
chapter-019	Still avoiding to give her a direct answer, I said,"It is not then your intention, mademoiselle, to oblige me in this particular?"
chapter-019	Well-- and what suggested all this?
chapter-019	What claim have I on your sympathy?
chapter-019	While making these preparations, she chanced to look up, and, reading curiosity in my eyes, she smiled and asked--"Is this like England, monsieur?"
chapter-019	and what is the inference to be drawn therefrom?
chapter-019	what are your ultimate views?"
chapter-019	why do n''t they dress better?
chapter-019	would she sit at my side when I dictate or correct, with such a still, contented, halcyon mien?"
chapter-022	And Crimsworth Hall-- was the furniture sold too?
chapter-022	And how are you?
chapter-022	And the contents of the oak dining- room-- were they sold?
chapter-022	And the pictures?
chapter-022	And your heart is broken?
chapter-022	But surely,I thought to myself,"I shall not always be so poverty- stricken; I may one day buy it back yet.--Who purchased it?
chapter-022	Ca n''t you speak?
chapter-022	For how long?
chapter-022	How is it likely? chapter-022 Of course; why should the sofas and chairs of that room be held more sacred than those of any other?"
chapter-022	Oh, that''s your game-- is it?
chapter-022	P.S.--You said last night you positively declined adding another item to your account with me; do n''t you think I''ve saved you that trouble?
chapter-022	Staggering under it? chapter-022 That is bad; have you applied to Brown?"
chapter-022	What pictures? chapter-022 Who said so?"
chapter-022	Yes; you know, of course, that your brother failed three months ago?
chapter-022	You are in the way of getting one?
chapter-022	You have got another place?
chapter-022	You want to hear news from X----? chapter-022 And what interest can you have in X----? chapter-022 Could I seek Frances to- night, could I sit with her alone in a quiet room, and address her only in the language of Reason and Affection?
chapter-022	Edward Crimsworth?"
chapter-022	How did you excite their displeasure?"
chapter-022	Hunsden?"
chapter-022	Is that the way, do you think, ever to communicate pleasure or excite interest?
chapter-022	Is this Miss Zenobie"( Zoraide, interposed I)--"well, Zoraide-- is she really married to Pelet?"
chapter-022	Then I first asked,"Who sent this picture?
chapter-022	What news from X----?"
chapter-022	What the deuce is there to stagger under in the circumstance of a Belgian schoolmistress marrying a French schoolmaster?
chapter-022	Who thought of me, saved it out of the wreck of Crimsworth Hall, and now commits it to the care of its natural keeper?"
chapter-022	Why did you leave?"
chapter-022	did you leave your place in consequence of her becoming Madame Pelet?"
chapter-022	do you know?"
chapter-022	replied Hunsden with a short laugh;"so you''ve lost both your wife and your place?"
chapter-022	was he coming in person to solve the problem hardly proposed in inaudible thought?
chapter-017	A dull, stupid occupation; do you like it?
chapter-017	All?
chapter-017	And your father?
chapter-017	Are you solicitous for your own improvement?
chapter-017	Do you live alone?
chapter-017	Have you a wish to see England?
chapter-017	How do you prove it, mademoiselle?
chapter-017	How? chapter-017 Indisputably; but what then?
chapter-017	Is monsieur certain that I am myself thoroughly acquainted with these studies?
chapter-017	Is that English?
chapter-017	Just so; and is it the custom of the Genevese to give their children English appellatives?
chapter-017	Monsieur, might not one learn something by analogy? chapter-017 Nor of France?"
chapter-017	Oh, certainly, not much; but you are a teacher, are you not, as well as a pupil?
chapter-017	Since your mother is an Englishwoman, why do you not speak English with more facility?
chapter-017	Well, mademoiselle-- what then? chapter-017 What besides?
chapter-017	What is it?
chapter-017	What more can I do?
chapter-017	Where, then, is your birthplace?
chapter-017	Why do you not speak it now?
chapter-017	Why do you pursue it? chapter-017 Why, monsieur, I am not inattentive-- am I?
chapter-017	You do n''t call Frances and Evans Swiss names, I presume?
chapter-017	You had the habitude formerly, I suppose? chapter-017 You have brothers and sisters?"
chapter-017	You live with your father, I suppose?
chapter-017	You teach lace- mending?
chapter-017	Your father''s sister?
chapter-017	All my life would perhaps seem narrow in your eyes-- all the life of a-- that little animal subterranean-- une taupe-- comment dit- on?"
chapter-017	An-- echantillon-- a-- a sample often serves to give an idea of the whole; besides, narrow and wide are words comparative, are they not?
chapter-017	By a knowledge of English alone?
chapter-017	Can you make any sense out of what I say, monsieur, or is it all obscure?"
chapter-017	How much of England do you suppose you could see if you went there in the capacity of a teacher?
chapter-017	She gave me one, and while I underlined some errors in a grammatical exercise she had written, I observed--"You are not a native of Belgium?"
chapter-017	Thus did I accost her:--"What is your idea of England, mademoiselle?
chapter-017	What then were your friends-- what was your aunt about?
chapter-017	What was his profession?"
chapter-017	What would be the value of observations made on a scale so narrow?"
chapter-017	Why do you not rather teach history, geography, grammar, even arithmetic?"
chapter-017	Why do you wish to go there?"
chapter-017	and of English extraction?"
chapter-017	and what more do you do?"
chapter-017	but how did you manage it, since your aunt could not afford to send you to school?"
chapter-017	est- ce que je suis sa bonne-- moi?"
chapter-024	And of course you are going to be married to her? chapter-024 And that is your lace- mender?"
chapter-024	And where did you get your English features and figure?
chapter-024	And you do n''t like it?
chapter-024	But the lady?
chapter-024	Did you not read the expression of his eyes?
chapter-024	Do you abuse Switzerland to me, Mr. Hunsden? chapter-024 Do you call my countrymen servile?"
chapter-024	Does not ASS mean BAUDET?
chapter-024	England is your country?
chapter-024	Frances, what do you mean by preparing, supper? chapter-024 God is not willing-- you ca n''t suppose it; what business have you to be suited so well with a partner?
chapter-024	How, monsieur?
chapter-024	I should think so, or else why should I call it my country?
chapter-024	Is that a hit at me, mademoiselle? chapter-024 Mademoiselle, what is an association?
chapter-024	Of his eyes? chapter-024 Pelet?
chapter-024	Social greatness? chapter-024 Swiss?"
chapter-024	To you they said,''How do you do, Wilhelmina Crimsworth?'' chapter-024 Well?"
chapter-024	Were you born in Switzerland?
chapter-024	Where are you flying to? chapter-024 Who is he?"
chapter-024	Why did he bow to me? chapter-024 Why did you tell a lie, then?"
chapter-024	Yes, yes; and you, I suppose, had a mother from the moon or from Utopia, since not a nation in Europe has a claim on your interest?
chapter-024	You do right? chapter-024 You had an English mother?"
chapter-024	You never were in Switzerland?
chapter-024	You understand English?
chapter-024	Are you of the number of those to whom such associations give no pleasure?"
chapter-024	Do you suppose I am without feeling?"
chapter-024	Do you think I have no associations?
chapter-024	Has she many relations?"
chapter-024	Henri?"
chapter-024	Hunsden?"
chapter-024	I was going to utter a rather emphatic negative, but on second thoughts I checked myself, and, seeming to assent, asked what he thought of her?
chapter-024	Meantime you''re doomed to become Mrs. William Crimsworth, I suppose; poor young lady?
chapter-024	To what caste does she belong?"
chapter-024	What did they say?"
chapter-024	What is its length, breadth, weight, value-- ay, VALUE?
chapter-024	What is she?
chapter-024	What price will it bring in the market?"
chapter-024	What the devil has she done with Pelet?
chapter-024	Why, mademoiselle, ca n''t you see that it is our GOLD which buys us French politeness, German good- will, and Swiss servility?"
chapter-024	Why, mademoiselle, is it possible that anybody with a grain of rationality should feel enthusiasm about a mere name, and that name England?
chapter-024	Zoraide?"
chapter-024	said he;"and you reckon you have done a fine, magnanimous thing in offering to marry her?
