chapter-020 | Do you know, the curling lip, and sarcastically levelled glass thus directed, gave me a most curious sensation?" |
chapter-020 | Do you remember our conversation about the presents? |
chapter-020 | He was, too, so perfectly in earnestso energetic, so intent, and, above all, so absolute: and yet what business had he there? |
chapter-020 | How do you happen to be acquainted with young ladies of the court, John? |
chapter-020 | Now, I will wager my studs, which are genuine, against your paste brooch""My paste brooch, Graham? |
chapter-020 | She is a pretty, silly girl: but are you apprehensive that her titter will discomfit the old lady?" |
chapter-020 | Was she not my divinitythe angel of my career?" |
chapter-020 | What had he to do with music or the Conservatoirehe who could hardly distinguish one note from another? |
chapter-020 | What is it all about? |
chapter-020 | Who could help liking him? |
chapter-020 | Why should he sigh? |
chapter-020 | Will you and Lucy be silent, that I may hear the singing?" |
chapter-020 | Would you not feel proud, mamma, if I were to bring that goddess home some day, and introduce her to you as Mrs. Bretton, junior?" |
chapter-020 | You have always seen me cheerful at home?" |
chapter-020 | You have been long aware of the flirtation they keep up?" |
chapter-025 | And do you like it? |
chapter-025 | And is that a Scotch reel you are dancing, you Highland fairy? |
chapter-025 | And what am I now? |
chapter-025 | And where were you at such a time, papa? chapter-025 And why do you go on with it?" |
chapter-025 | And, like that snowdrift, capable of melting? |
chapter-025 | Are you a teacher? |
chapter-025 | But you will promise to come back here this evening, before it is quite dark;you and Dr. Bretton, both, in the carriage? chapter-025 Did he or did he not, Paulina?" |
chapter-025 | I do n''t want dew; I do n''t like dew: but what is it? |
chapter-025 | I should like a little,said Paulina, looking up;"I never had any''old October:''is it sweet?" |
chapter-025 | It must be curious: is it good? |
chapter-025 | Miss Snowe is in a school? |
chapter-025 | Mrs. Bretton,said he:"what am I to do with this daughter or daughterling of mine? |
chapter-025 | Not then from motives of pure philanthropy? chapter-025 Well?" |
chapter-025 | Why? chapter-025 Your ladyship wishes for the tankard?" |
chapter-025 | And what did you say then? |
chapter-025 | But do you really teach here, in Villette?" |
chapter-025 | But this school,"he pursued, changing his tone from grave to gay:"would Madame Beck admit my Polly, do you think, Miss Lucy?" |
chapter-025 | Do n''t you find her pretty nearly as much the child as she was ten years ago?" |
chapter-025 | Do you know of any good school?" |
chapter-025 | Faithful? |
chapter-025 | I hope you approve of the arrangement, Countess de Bassompierre?" |
chapter-025 | I watched her keenly: here was a true test of that memory she had boasted; would her recollections now be faithful? |
chapter-025 | Is it wine?" |
chapter-025 | Was his a pseudo pride? |
chapter-025 | Well, Miss Snowe, why do you go on with it?" |
chapter-025 | What was the result? |
chapter-025 | You wo n''t go into town, will you, papa?" |
chapter-025 | was it real dignity? |
chapter-025 | you are not going out?" |
chapter-039 | La petite va m''aidern''est- ce pas? |
chapter-039 | O sont- ils? chapter-039 After all, who may this young girl, this Justine Marie, be? chapter-039 Am I known? chapter-039 And what and who was she that had haunted me? chapter-039 Ask first what were the circumstances attendant on this respite? chapter-039 Can it be a wandering dog that has come in from the street and crept and nestled hither? chapter-039 Can we spare him a moment''s notice? chapter-039 Have we a stray glance to give to the third member of this company? chapter-039 How does she look? chapter-039 How far did this delay concern me? chapter-039 I had left the great door ajar; should I find it thus? chapter-039 I lightly pushed the heavy leaf; would it yield? chapter-039 Is it a robber who has made his way through the open street- door, and lies there in wait? chapter-039 Justine Mariethe dead nunwhere was she? chapter-039 Perhaps the wind or some other accident may have thrown it to with sufficient force to start the spring- bolt? chapter-039 Pourquoi ne viennent- ils? |
chapter-039 | The answer was prompt enough, God knows? |
chapter-039 | The carriage thunders past, but what do I see, or fancy I see, as it rushes by? |
chapter-039 | The family junta wish this heiress to be married to one of their bandwhich is it? |
chapter-039 | Vital questionwhich is it? |
chapter-039 | Was I glad? |
chapter-039 | Was it a fact to warrant joy? |
chapter-039 | Was that signal meant for me? |
chapter-039 | Were there not those whom it might touch more nearly? |
chapter-039 | What dark, usurping shape, supine, long, and strange? |
chapter-039 | What does she wear? |
chapter-039 | What is she like? |
chapter-039 | What was this business? |
chapter-039 | What was this? |
chapter-039 | What, then; do I see between the half- drawn curtains? |
chapter-039 | Whence came these vestments? |
chapter-039 | Who contrived this artifice? |
chapter-039 | Who could recognise me? |
chapter-039 | Who is she? |
chapter-039 | Why, in her grave, Madame Walravenswhat can you want with her? |
chapter-039 | Will it spring, will it leap out if I approach? |
chapter-039 | when imagination once runs riot where do we stop? |
chapter-024 | And do you remember that? |
chapter-024 | And you are little Polly? |
chapter-024 | Because he is a foreigner? chapter-024 Did I? |
chapter-024 | Do n''t I know what mamma says about him? chapter-024 Do you hate him for that reason?" |
chapter-024 | Dr. and Mrs. Bretton were at M. de Bassompierre''s this evening? |
chapter-024 | How did the recognition between him and your father come about? |
chapter-024 | Howknow something? |
chapter-024 | Is Miss de Bassompierre quite well now? |
chapter-024 | M. de Bassompierre has a daughter? |
chapter-024 | Oh, you have? chapter-024 Partial to me? |
chapter-024 | The only visitor? chapter-024 The sharpness must be gonethe point, the poignancythe deep imprint must be softened away and effaced?" |
chapter-024 | Was it so formerly? chapter-024 Were you the only visitor?" |
chapter-024 | Who? chapter-024 You have forgotten then that I have sat on your knee, been lifted in your arms, even shared your pillow? |
chapter-024 | You must have forgotten some things? |
chapter-024 | You think I have forgotten whom I liked, and in what degree I liked them when a child? |
chapter-024 | ''whom do you indicate by that name? |
chapter-024 | And they live at a large hotel in the Rue Crcy?" |
chapter-024 | At last I stammered,"I think I never met you till that night, some weeks ago, when you were hurt?" |
chapter-024 | Bretton?" |
chapter-024 | Did it so strike you? |
chapter-024 | Do you thus remember him?" |
chapter-024 | Have you made new acquaintance?" |
chapter-024 | How do you know?" |
chapter-024 | I suppose Sunday will now be Dr. Bretton''s dining- out day.?" |
chapter-024 | I suppose his disposition is still gay and careless?" |
chapter-024 | I thought you always found her house charming?" |
chapter-024 | I wonder what always makes you so mighty testy l''endroit du gros Jean? |
chapter-024 | It was dated"La Terrasse,"and it ran thus:"DEAR LUCY, It occurs to me to inquire what you have been doing with yourself for the last month or two? |
chapter-024 | Mrs. Cholmondeley? |
chapter-024 | She and Esculapius have the entre of the de Bassompierre apartments: it seems''my son John''attended missy on the occasion of her accidentAccident? |
chapter-024 | Was there error somewhere? |
chapter-024 | While he slept, I thought he looked very bonny, Lucy: fool as I am to be so proud of him; but who can help it? |
chapter-024 | You have no memory for the comfort and protection by which you soothed an acute distress? |
chapter-024 | and you remember the old time at Bretton?" |
chapter-024 | or for what other reason of equal weight?" |
chapter-022 | About Ginevra Fanshaweeh? |
chapter-022 | And why, Lucy, ca n''t you look and feel as I dobuoyant, courageous, and fit to defy all the nuns and flirts in Christendom? chapter-022 Are they going to interrupt?" |
chapter-022 | Are you satisfied now? |
chapter-022 | Did she not sometimes make you miserable? |
chapter-022 | If I were to bring Miss Fanshawe into your presence just now? |
chapter-022 | Was it my letter, Lucy? |
chapter-022 | Well then,he proceeded,"how do you feel physically? |
chapter-022 | What letter, Lucy? chapter-022 Will it be cool?will it be kind?" |
chapter-022 | Will it be longwill it be short? |
chapter-022 | You are able, consequently, to tell me what you saw? chapter-022 You will not laugh?" |
chapter-022 | You will tell nobody? |
chapter-022 | You would laugh? |
chapter-022 | And had there been anything in the garret? |
chapter-022 | Are there evil influences haunting the air, and poisoning it for man? |
chapter-022 | Are there wicked things, not human, which envy human bliss? |
chapter-022 | Are you growing calmer? |
chapter-022 | Bretton himself? |
chapter-022 | Could I believe that ear? |
chapter-022 | Could I trust my eyes? |
chapter-022 | Did I now look on the face of the writer of that very letter? |
chapter-022 | Had I recognised the tone? |
chapter-022 | Had she a pretty face? |
chapter-022 | How do you manage?" |
chapter-022 | I said briefly to the doctor:"do you cultivate happiness? |
chapter-022 | Is there no cure?no preventive?" |
chapter-022 | Lucy, was she a pretty nun? |
chapter-022 | Mamma says sometimes, too, that I have a harmonizing property of tongue and eye; but you never saw that in medid you, Lucy?" |
chapter-022 | My dear girl, what letter?" |
chapter-022 | There stood the bougie quenched on the drawers; but where was the letter? |
chapter-022 | Was it a man? |
chapter-022 | Was it an animal? |
chapter-022 | Well, Lucy"( drawing on his gloves),"will the Nun come again to- night, think you?" |
chapter-022 | What did they discover? |
chapter-022 | What does such advice mean? |
chapter-022 | What is it worth? |
chapter-022 | What was it?" |
chapter-022 | What was near me? |
chapter-022 | Why is it not better worth such tears, and such tenderly exaggerating faith?" |
chapter-022 | Will she stand that, do you think?" |
chapter-022 | Your account was quite vague, do you know? |
chapter-016 | Am I in England? chapter-016 Do n''t you deserve cold tea, for being late?" |
chapter-016 | Do you like it, Polly? |
chapter-016 | Do you want Graham? |
chapter-016 | Do, I, madam? chapter-016 Graham Bretton?" |
chapter-016 | How was I found, madam, and by whom? |
chapter-016 | I speak to Mrs. Bretton, formerly of Bretton, shire? |
chapter-016 | Madam, where am I? |
chapter-016 | Now, when she looks down; now, when she turns sideways, who is she like, Graham? |
chapter-016 | Observed what? chapter-016 Tell me, Graham, of whom does that young lady remind you?" |
chapter-016 | Who else should it be, mamma? |
chapter-016 | Will she come forward and speak for herself? |
chapter-016 | You are quite better then? chapter-016 You considered me a little bold; perhaps?" |
chapter-016 | You do not come from England? |
chapter-016 | You see how it was now? |
chapter-016 | Am I at Bretton?" |
chapter-016 | And why did Bretton and my fourteenth year haunt me thus? |
chapter-016 | As to spontaneous recognitionthough I, perhaps, was still less changed than hethe idea never approached his mind, and why should I suggest it? |
chapter-016 | Besides, I kept thinking of the son of that tall matron: when should I see him? |
chapter-016 | Excluded? |
chapter-016 | Graham, have you observed it?" |
chapter-016 | Have you been long in this country? |
chapter-016 | How is your patient, mamma?" |
chapter-016 | I gasped audibly,"Where am I?" |
chapter-016 | Into some house I had been carriedbut what house? |
chapter-016 | Not only in what spot of the world, but in what year of our Lord? |
chapter-016 | Quite strongeh?" |
chapter-016 | What ails the Old Lady now? |
chapter-016 | What brought it on, I have yet to learn, and all particulars; meantime, I trust you really do feel better?" |
chapter-016 | What can you mean?" |
chapter-016 | What dark- tinged draught might she now be offering? |
chapter-016 | What was there in this simple and somewhat pretty sleeping- closet to startle the most timid? |
chapter-016 | Where was I? |
chapter-016 | Why hovered before my distempered vision the mere furniture, while the rooms and the locality were gone? |
chapter-016 | Why, if they came at all, did they not return complete? |
chapter-016 | Why? |
chapter-016 | You seem to know my son?" |
chapter-016 | Your sonthe picture there?" |
chapter-016 | what Genii- elixir or Magi- distillation? |
chapter-026 | And you do n''t like him now? chapter-026 But who, Paulina, can it be? |
chapter-026 | Did I keep my word, papa? chapter-026 How, Madame?" |
chapter-026 | I suppose it may be: but why consider the subject? chapter-026 It may be true that he once thought her handsome: does she give him out as still her suitor?" |
chapter-026 | No, I daresay: and how does she mix up these with her sentiment and her.love? chapter-026 Oh, to be sure, what man would not be afraid of such a little silent lady?" |
chapter-026 | What does she say, Paulina? chapter-026 Who are you? |
chapter-026 | Your way, you little chatter- box? chapter-026 But tell me this you are very particular in making me be civil to Dr. Bretton, do you like him yourself? |
chapter-026 | But what road was open?what plan available? |
chapter-026 | Did I behave better?" |
chapter-026 | Do n''t you remember that, as a little girl, you used to be rather partial to him?" |
chapter-026 | He may be careless and proud; but when was he ever mean or slavish? |
chapter-026 | How did she like that genial, half humorous vein, which to me gave such delight? |
chapter-026 | How was it necessary? |
chapter-026 | I was well enough, he supposed? |
chapter-026 | I wonder what she thought of my correspondence? |
chapter-026 | In the grenier? |
chapter-026 | In what corner of this strange house was it possible to find security or secresy? |
chapter-026 | Is any of it true?" |
chapter-026 | Is he afraid of me, do you think, papa?" |
chapter-026 | Is not that another thing, Lucy, to be loved?" |
chapter-026 | Lucy, is it true? |
chapter-026 | No; the grenier would not dobut where then? |
chapter-026 | Papa, is it the Edinburgh or the Aberdeen accent you have?" |
chapter-026 | She does mix them, I suppose?" |
chapter-026 | Talk away when he is here, and have no fear of him?" |
chapter-026 | What do you know about it?" |
chapter-026 | What estimate did she form of Dr. John Bretton''s epistolary powers? |
chapter-026 | What had a person devoted to a serious calling, that of education, to do with Counts and Countesses, hotels and chteaux? |
chapter-026 | What has he done?" |
chapter-026 | What is love to you? |
chapter-026 | What should I do to prevent this? |
chapter-026 | Where could a key be a safeguard, or a padlock a barrier? |
chapter-026 | Who that has near access to you would dare to do it?" |
chapter-026 | Why do you sit here by yourself? |
chapter-026 | You really make quite a stranger of Dr. Bretton: how is this? |
chapter-026 | and why do you come to me?" |
chapter-026 | how seemed these things to you? |
chapter-026 | said she,"is that the summit of earthly happiness, the end of lifeto love? |
chapter-021 | And afterwards? |
chapter-021 | And what did he say? |
chapter-021 | And will Graham really write? |
chapter-021 | And your letter? |
chapter-021 | But if I feel, may I never express? |
chapter-021 | But when I want yours so much, ange farouche, what does a little reluctance on your part signify? chapter-021 Come,"said he, more softly,"tell me the truthyou grieve at being parted from friendsis it not so?" |
chapter-021 | Did he? |
chapter-021 | Do you think I noticed you? |
chapter-021 | Est- ce que vous avez l''intention de m''insulter? |
chapter-021 | Every answer to his queries was then refused? chapter-021 Fun for you, Miss Fanshawe? |
chapter-021 | Ginevra, have you seriously done with Dr. Bretton? chapter-021 He noticed that? |
chapter-021 | He would n''t lie still? |
chapter-021 | If,muttered she,"if he should write, what then? |
chapter-021 | Lucy,stepping after me"shall you feel very solitary here?" |
chapter-021 | No, did he? chapter-021 Oh, have you? |
chapter-021 | Saw the bracelet? chapter-021 Was I the mistress of these girls? |
chapter-021 | Well, and how ever did you get him home? |
chapter-021 | You do n''t say so? chapter-021 You promise yourself a pleasant moment,"said he,"in reading that letter; you will open it when alonen''est- ce pas? |
chapter-021 | And so, Ourson, you know Isidore?" |
chapter-021 | And this new, this out- door, this male spy, what business had brought him to the premises at this unwonted hour? |
chapter-021 | But now, come, grand- mother, I hope you like coffee as much, and pistolets as little as ever: are you disposed to barter?" |
chapter-021 | But, how is our well- beloved John? |
chapter-021 | Did I consume the venison at once and with haste, as if Esau''s shaft flew every day? |
chapter-021 | Did I read my letter there and then? |
chapter-021 | Do you meditate pleasure in replying? |
chapter-021 | Do you want him to give you up?" |
chapter-021 | Had I ever reminded him of that rencontre, or explained it? |
chapter-021 | Have you no pity on his poor mother and me? |
chapter-021 | He saw the bracelet?" |
chapter-021 | I''ll writejust any cheerful nonsense that comes into my headshall I?" |
chapter-021 | Shall I tell you of what I am reminded while watching you?" |
chapter-021 | Was n''t I cruel?" |
chapter-021 | Was this modesty? |
chapter-021 | What could I say to all this? |
chapter-021 | What did he say to my behaviour the other night? |
chapter-021 | What possible right had he to intrude on me thus? |
chapter-021 | Who is your tailleuse?" |
chapter-021 | it is too good to read at once; you save it, as, when I was a boy, I used to save a peach whose bloom was very ripe?" |
chapter-021 | you know he ca n''t do that: but was n''t he mad?" |
chapter-035 | And dare I rely on Monsieur''s regard? chapter-035 But, in short, Monsieur, now I think of it, you must live somewhere? |
chapter-035 | By what bonds or duties? |
chapter-035 | Can I enter into your visions? chapter-035 Et puis?" |
chapter-035 | Et vous, Mademoiselle? chapter-035 Hein?" |
chapter-035 | Hein? |
chapter-035 | I know that you have a pleasant old house in a pleasant old square of the Basse- Villewhy do n''t you go and live there? |
chapter-035 | I see you have entered into my secrets,said he,"but how was it done?" |
chapter-035 | Knowing me thoroughly nowall my antecedents, all my responsibilitieshaving long known my faults, can you and I still be friends? |
chapter-035 | Lucy,said M. Paul, speaking low, and still holding my hand,"did you see a picture in the boudoir of the old house?" |
chapter-035 | Qu''est- ce donc? chapter-035 Shall I tell Monsieur the tale?" |
chapter-035 | The portrait of a nun? |
chapter-035 | What do you know? chapter-035 Where did you pick up all that? |
chapter-035 | You did not connect the two ideas; that would be folly? |
chapter-035 | You did not, nor will you fancy,pursued he,"that a saint in heaven perturbs herself with rivalries of earth? |
chapter-035 | You have, then, the whole situation? |
chapter-035 | You heard her history? |
chapter-035 | You remember what we saw that night in the berceau? |
chapter-035 | And what of the charities which absorbed his worldly goods? |
chapter-035 | Besides, no good- living womanmuch less a pure, happy spiritwould trouble amity like ours n''est- il pas vrai?" |
chapter-035 | But what of the''Priest''s Pupil?''" |
chapter-035 | But, if all melted like a dream, as once before had happened? |
chapter-035 | Can I guess a woman''s waking thoughts, much less her sleeping fantasies?" |
chapter-035 | Could they not see at once the crude hand of a novice in that composition they called a forgery? |
chapter-035 | Dare I speak to him when I am so inclined?" |
chapter-035 | Did I dream it, Monsieur, do you think?" |
chapter-035 | Do tell me where; and what establishment of servants do you keep?" |
chapter-035 | Does he really think he needs me, and can take an interest in me as a sister?" |
chapter-035 | Forget him? |
chapter-035 | I heard one of my examinershe of the braided surtoutwhisper to his co- professor,"Est- elle donc idiote?" |
chapter-035 | If he would but prove reliable, and he looked reliable, what, beyond his friendship, could I ever covet? |
chapter-035 | Protestants are rarely superstitious; these morbid fancies will not beset you?" |
chapter-035 | To ascertain the fact, to fix and seal it, I asked"Is Monsieur quite serious? |
chapter-035 | Was I, then, to be frightened by Justine Marie? |
chapter-035 | Was the picture of a pale dead nun to rise, an eternal barrier? |
chapter-035 | What is it?" |
chapter-035 | What means had I, before this day, of being certain whether he could love at all or not? |
chapter-035 | What of his heart sworn to virginity? |
chapter-035 | What story? |
chapter-035 | What was I to make of it? |
chapter-035 | What was the matter? |
chapter-035 | Who told you?" |
chapter-035 | Will Miss Lucy be the sister of a very poor, fettered, burdened, encumbered man?" |
chapter-041 | Dare you take the freedom of going all over the house? |
chapter-041 | Do I displease your eyes much? |
chapter-041 | Do you know Marie Justine? |
chapter-041 | Do you wish to puzzle me? chapter-041 He did not like leaving me in the Rue Fossette; he feared I should miss him there too muchI should feel desolateI should grow sad?" |
chapter-041 | How is it? chapter-041 It is a school then?" |
chapter-041 | It made you very sad then to lose your friend? |
chapter-041 | Must I tell you what I told Modeste Beckthat you do not know me? chapter-041 Must we sit down here and wait?" |
chapter-041 | What now? |
chapter-041 | Who keeps it? chapter-041 Will you have the goodness to accept of a few prospectuses for distribution in behalf of a friend of mine?" |
chapter-041 | Am I the directress? |
chapter-041 | And what did I say to M. Paul Emanuel? |
chapter-041 | But now, what will you do for pupils?" |
chapter-041 | Did you furnish it? |
chapter-041 | Did you get these papers printed? |
chapter-041 | Do you know her? |
chapter-041 | Do you mean me? |
chapter-041 | Does he purpose to come? |
chapter-041 | I am not pleasant to look at?" |
chapter-041 | I asked him whether his friends, Pre Silas and Madame Beck, knew what he had donewhether they had seen my house? |
chapter-041 | I had talked once, he reminded me, of trying to be independent and keeping a little school of my own: had I dropped the idea? |
chapter-041 | I think I deserved strong reproof; but when have we our deserts? |
chapter-041 | If I had put myself into your power, and you had begun with your questions of look and lipWhere have you been, M. Paul? |
chapter-041 | Is there another Lucy Snowe? |
chapter-041 | Is this your house? |
chapter-041 | Must I show and teach you my character? |
chapter-041 | Must I tell how I and the two stalwart companions I brought home from the illuminated park bore the test of intimate acquaintance? |
chapter-041 | Must I, ere I close, render some account of that Freedom and Renovation which I won on the fte- night? |
chapter-041 | Object? |
chapter-041 | Paul?" |
chapter-041 | Shall I yet see him before he goes? |
chapter-041 | Should you object to beginning with three petite bourgeoises, the Demoiselles Miret? |
chapter-041 | Was it weak to lay so much stress on an opinion about appearance? |
chapter-041 | Was the record painful?" |
chapter-041 | What have you been doing? |
chapter-041 | What is in a name?what in three words? |
chapter-041 | Who is your friend, if not Emanuel? |
chapter-041 | Who prizes you, if I do not? |
chapter-041 | Will he bear me in mind? |
chapter-041 | Will this daywill the next hour bring him? |
chapter-041 | Without clear proof this hand will not lie still in mine, it will not trust my shoulder as a safe stay? |
chapter-041 | You will have proof that I can be a firm friend? |
chapter-027 | And the other? |
chapter-027 | But are you anybody? |
chapter-027 | But what did I say? |
chapter-027 | But you were speaking of tastes: we may see the same objects, yet estimate them differently? |
chapter-027 | But, Lucy, how is that? chapter-027 Could I manage to make you ever grateful?" |
chapter-027 | Do we? |
chapter-027 | Dodo tell me who you are? chapter-027 In the Bible on Sunday nights?" |
chapter-027 | Is it? |
chapter-027 | Is there,he pursued,"another in the room as lovely?" |
chapter-027 | On what terms were''little Polly''and I? chapter-027 Rather a peculiar child, was she not? |
chapter-027 | Then it was my words which wounded you? chapter-027 What now?" |
chapter-027 | Who am I indeed? chapter-027 Who are you, Miss Snowe?" |
chapter-027 | You did? chapter-027 You do n''t remember her as a child?" |
