8401 | Whence do you get your grain, cloth, iron, etc.? |
8401 | Wilt thou also desert thy country? |
8401 | You have beheld the coronation of the emperor of Germany? 8401 ''But what is the sword surrendered,''asked the chancellor;''is it his own sword, or the sword of France?'' 8401 ''Is that all?'' 8401 Among other things, he asked him,Is it not true the Germans are somewhat thick- brained?" |
8401 | And in another address was said:"How long shall Hermann mourn over his degenerate children? |
8401 | Bonaparte, irritated by opposition, dashed a valuable cup, the gift of the Russian empress, violently to the ground, exclaiming,"You wish for war? |
8401 | But how could it be otherwise? |
8401 | But-- is not the thief taught morality in the house of correction? |
8401 | Do you enjoy greater security in your persons and property?" |
8401 | Do you wish to add the sack of Paris to that of Hamburg, already loading your conscience? |
8401 | Does the sound of your clanking chains strike like music on your ears? |
8401 | Have your taxes been thereby decreased? |
8401 | He instantly roused the English ambassador from his sleep by shouting in his ear,"Have the English a fleet in the Mediterranean?"] |
8401 | Hence the demand of the imperial herald,"Is no Dalberg here?" |
8401 | How can she proclaim us as a free nation, and, at the same moment, deprive us of our liberty? |
8401 | How could those be apathetic who had such a burden of disgrace to redeem, such deep revenge to satisfy? |
8401 | Is every spark of German courage extinct? |
8401 | Is this his work? |
8401 | Napoleon replied with,"Whom are you addressing? |
8401 | No prisoners? |
8401 | Or have you, Bavarian peasants and citizens, gained aught by your prince being made into a king? |
8401 | The ambassador, attempting to preserve its independence, was asked by Napoleon:"Where do you take your cattle, your cheese, etc.?" |
8401 | These were, one and all, men of tried metal, but whose German names induce the demand,"Why did they fight for France?" |
8401 | Was it Grouchy? |
8401 | Was it for this that the Cherusci fought in the Teutoburg forest? |
8401 | What should be done? |
8401 | What terms, he asked, would the king of Prussia grant to a valiant army which, could he have had his will, would have continued to fight? |
8401 | What was Frederick William''s policy in this dilemma? |
8401 | Who promote confusion, provoke, insinuate, and attempt to creep into every committee, to interfere in every discussion? |
8401 | Who, with the dagger''s point pick out and reopen all our wounds, and rub them with salt and poison? |
8401 | Why then did the great German nation sever itself into so many petty tribes? |
8401 | [ Footnote 6: While in his proclamations he swore by all that was sacred( what was so to a Frenchman?) |
8401 | _ Germany is divided into too many petty states._ How can an elector of the Pfalz, or indeed any of the still lesser nobility, protect the country? |
8401 | and are not diseases, the result of license, cured in the hospitals with unheard- of humanity? |
8401 | by the extension of his authority over a few additional square miles? |
8401 | no result after such a massacre? |
8401 | shall your name become the derision of after ages?" |
8401 | who but those sent thither by France?" |
2669 | For God''s sake, my dear Trenck,said he,"in what have I injured you, that you endeavour to effect my ruin? |
2669 | How do you do? |
2669 | How do you obtain money in this dungeon? |
2669 | Is this the fulfilment of the pledge of the Prince? 2669 What is that you are talking about?" |
2669 | --"Are you promised?" |
2669 | --"Why should you die?" |
2669 | --The rank of major!--From this preamble who would not have expected either the rank of general, or the restoration of my great Sclavonian estates? |
2669 | And wherefore? |
2669 | And who are more capable of commanding a Hungarian army than Tillier and Laudohn? |
2669 | And who are those who have divided his spoils-- who slew him that they might fatten themselves? |
2669 | And why? |
2669 | At the place of execution he called to his colonel:"Father, if I receive a thousand blows, will you pardon me?" |
2669 | But what expectations can I form from Baron Trenck? |
2669 | By what right therefore, could such debts be demanded or paid? |
2669 | Can the virtuous heart conceive affliction more cruel? |
2669 | Compared to you, of what could I complain? |
2669 | Could it be believed that the great Frederic would revenge himself on the children and the children''s children? |
2669 | Day at length returned; but where was its splendour? |
2669 | Does the worth of a man depend upon his actions? |
2669 | Dost thou not blindly follow the opinion of the prince, be he severe, arbitrary, or just? |
2669 | Have you considered how dissimilar our past lives have been; how different, too, are our circumstances? |
2669 | He remained some moments silent, and at last answered in a low voice,"What, have you money, then?" |
2669 | How came you by them?" |
2669 | How describe my despondency, and yet account for that latent impulse that withheld my hand on this fatal, this miserable night? |
2669 | How often have I been asked,"What didst thou see?" |
2669 | How shall I express my extreme joy when, after eleven months of intolerable hunger, I was again indulged with a full feast of coarse ammunition bread? |
2669 | How shall I make the reader feel as I then felt? |
2669 | How then may hope be wholly eradicated from the heart of man? |
2669 | How, indeed, could it be, that lee should work underground, at such a distance from his dungeon?" |
2669 | I listened-- what could it be? |
2669 | In what do these differ from the arbitrary order of a military despot? |
2669 | My answer was,"Who calls?" |
2669 | My answer was--"But will you not load me with heavier irons than before?" |
2669 | Oh, Nature, what are thy operations? |
2669 | Or, omitting these, have you considered to whom you would have me appeal? |
2669 | Sickness itself is sufficient to humble the mightiest mind; what, then, is sickness, with such an addition of torment? |
2669 | The constable desired him to break the door open, which he did; the Jews came running, and asked--"What do you want, gentlemen?" |
2669 | They often had asked me where I concealed all my implements? |
2669 | Was it not sufficient that he should wreak his wrath on my head alone? |
2669 | What have I gained? |
2669 | What shall I say? |
2669 | When he came to examine--"What in the name of God is that?" |
2669 | Where is the country in which the people are all satisfied? |
2669 | Wherefore then do you class him among such wretches?" |
2669 | Who was it sent the honest Gelfhardt, at such a moment, to my prison? |
2669 | Who would have had the temerity to affirm that their evil deeds should bring them to attend on the city scavenger? |
2669 | Who would suppose that a man fettered as I was could find means of exercising himself? |
2669 | Whom can I accuse? |
2669 | Why has the name of Trenck been hateful to him, to the very hour of his death? |
2669 | Will you, if I do, be pleased to grant me my pardon?" |
2669 | are you married, then?" |
2669 | his reward or punishment upon his virtue? |
2669 | was there ever creature of Thine more justified than I in despair? |
2669 | what was I at this moment? |
2108 | ''Was it not your intention to go to England?'' 2108 ''You have learned nothing of what is to become of me?'' |
2108 | The first sane step was to throw myself at the feet of the King: King said,''Are you content with me? 2108 What is wrong, Herr General?" |
2108 | What to make of all this? |
2108 | Whereupon the King asked him:''Was it thou that temptedst Katte; or did Katte tempt thee?'' 2108 Years''imprisonment? |
2108 | ''O Heaven, my Brother?'' |
2108 | --Well; but was Schlubhut sentenced to hanging? |
2108 | --Why then, O Princess? |
2108 | And MAY my ursine heart flow out again, and blubber gratefully over a sinner saved, a poor Son plucked as brand from the burning? |
2108 | Apologies, subterfuges do but provoke him farther; it is not long till he starts up, growling terribly:"IHR SCHURKEN( Ye Scoundrels), how could you?" |
2108 | Are we become as Hebrew Elijahs, then; so that the wild ravens have to bring us food? |
2108 | As my Father brought him proofs from Scripture, the Prince asked him one time, How he could keep chapter and verse so exactly in his memory? |
2108 | But what the Prince, in his own heart, thought of it all; how he looked, talked, lived, in unofficial times? |
2108 | Crown- Prince said:''I should like to know what that good old gentleman does with a Mistress?'' |
2108 | Crown- Prince, when I did, in some interval of the dance, report this of Grumkow, and say, Why so changed and cold, then, Brother of my heart? |
2108 | Did readers ever hear of such a thing? |
2108 | Do n''t you see those strangers who have just come in?'' |
2108 | Do you keep two weights and two measures, in that Criminal- Collegium of yours, then? |
2108 | Does He( ER) know what stealing means, then? |
2108 | For, in the first place, your Highness, is it not written in the Law of God, Adulterers shall not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven?" |
2108 | Frustrate, bankrupt, chargeable with a friend''s lost life, sure enough he, for one, is: what is to become of him? |
2108 | He caressed me greatly( ME GRACIEUSA FORT); afterwards questioned me about my way of life in Vienna; and asked, if I had diverted myself well there? |
2108 | How the commonest convicted private thief finds the gallows his portion; much more a public Magistrate convicted of theft? |
2108 | I then took the liberty of saying:''Monseigneur, the most, at present, depends on yourself.--''How so?'' |
2108 | Is He aware that He, in a very especial manner, deserves hanging, then?" |
2108 | Is theft in the highest quarters a thing to be let off for refunding?" |
2108 | Jamaica, say you? |
2108 | King LOQUITUR:--"How do you like your Custrin life? |
2108 | Modest travelling- equipage rolls up into the inner court; to the foot of the grand staircase there, whither only Princes come:--who can it be? |
2108 | Money back? |
2108 | Or IS that all the thanks he has for Wilhelmina? |
2108 | Or shall his Majesty compel him?" |
2108 | Papa, in hopeful moments, asks himself:"To whom shall we marry him, then; how settle him?" |
2108 | Poor Wilhelmina never thought of disobeying her parents: only, which of them to obey? |
2108 | Poor old Hesse could not tell:"God is my witness, no penny of them eyer stuck to me,"asseverated poor old Hesse;"but where they are--? |
2108 | Refund? |
2108 | Sugar? |
2108 | Suspects poison, you think? |
2108 | Truly, yes; where is the liberty of private capital or liberty of almost any kind, on those terms? |
2108 | What Seckendorf and Grumkow thought of all these phenomena? |
2108 | What can be the meaning of it? |
2108 | What has become of these thousands, Sir? |
2108 | What shall we say? |
2108 | Whither is he to turn, thoroughly beaten, foiled in all his enterprises? |
2108 | Who knows but, of all the offers she had,"four"or three"crowned heads"among them, this final modest honest one may be intrinsically the best? |
2108 | answers Schlubhut, high mannered at the wrong time:"I can and will pay the money back!"--NOBLE- man? |
2108 | as you called it?" |
2108 | cried I:''But I do n''t see him; where is he? |
2108 | of Spain, leaving a younger Son to be King of Naples, ancestor of the now Majesty there?" |
2108 | thinks the desperate young man? |
33819 | Meanwhile every morning we received orders to load quickly; this gave rise among the old soldiers to the following talk:''What shall we have to- day? 33819 ''For God''s sake, Herr Zittermann,''I continued,''what does this mean?'' 33819 ''How? 33819 ''What are the people above there doing?'' 33819 ''What? 33819 ''Why not?'' 33819 Besides their Prince and the army itself, what had they in Prussia to honour? 33819 But how was this possible? 33819 But she left Zittau soon, and never did a word escape my lips-- and how could it? 33819 But were they too old? 33819 Dear scenes of home, what have become of you in most families? 33819 Did he now eat little children? 33819 Do you know of anything greater? |
33819 | For what are your wars to me? |
33819 | From whence did these tendencies arise in him? |
33819 | He made shift as he best could, what did it signify now? |
33819 | How do you know this?" |
33819 | How in the world, I thought, could my poor Socrates help not having been born later, not having lived in Judea? |
33819 | I:''And that is all to be paid for out of six groschen?'' |
33819 | I:''To whom else can I complain?'' |
33819 | In what lay the magic of these slight traits of life? |
33819 | Is this old age, is it reflection, is it reason? |
33819 | My brother was a very rare exception of quiet earnestness; and yet who knows how often even he may have been equally distracted? |
33819 | Now it does not signify to you; for have you not something to sell? |
33819 | Now there was much wondering and inquiring, who I was? |
33819 | Of what avail against this was violence, the opening of letters and secret investigations? |
33819 | This took place as follows:--The president inquired of those assembled,''Who will act the part of Hans Waldmann?'' |
33819 | Was it Brandenburg blood? |
33819 | Was it an impulse to unrestrained roving? |
33819 | What remained now, what was left of any value to them? |
33819 | What use was confiscation? |
33819 | What would happen if the people were roused to political excitement? |
33819 | When those present protested against this, the King asked angrily how otherwise he could obtain satisfaction for his injured honour? |
33819 | Where was there anything great or strong? |
33819 | Why should he have hung himself in misfortune? |
33819 | Why was it so? |
33819 | Would you not rather be a servant to our King, than to his lieutenant?'' |
33819 | [ 40] But those who were the leaders, but not men, who were they? |
33819 | a recruit?'' |
33819 | answered I,''from whom? |
33819 | for me?'' |
33819 | had shown no harshness to the Countess of Lichtenau; that he was a very good husband[38] and father, an upright man who had the best intentions? |
33819 | or a longing for dissipation? |
33819 | or youthful presumption which fancied it needed no guide? |
33819 | thought I, what is all this? |
33819 | what for?'' |
33819 | what''s the use of asking questions? |
33819 | what? |
33819 | where any fresh life to give enthusiasm and warmth? |
33819 | where, then?'' |
33819 | why I had come? |
22511 | And does it help just as much as it hinders? |
22511 | And how long shall you wish to be gone? |
22511 | And that makes how much for the whole time going down? |
22511 | Are they? |
22511 | Can we see them? |
22511 | Did not you see the images? |
22511 | Do you see that man out there,said Minnie, immediately after telling her name,"who is gathering the donations? |
22511 | Do you speak French? |
22511 | Do you suppose that that is one of the nuns? |
22511 | Do you suppose the priests themselves believe it? |
22511 | Do you wish to go up the river to- night? |
22511 | How came they here? |
22511 | How did you know that I spoke English? |
22511 | How do you know? |
22511 | How far down may I go? |
22511 | How much would she be kept back then by the current? |
22511 | My fishing line,replied Rollo;"is not that a good plan?" |
22511 | Shall we come to the large towns soon? |
22511 | The cathedral? |
22511 | This is a Catholic church, is it not? |
22511 | Uncle George,said Rollo,"what shall I do now?" |
22511 | Uncle George,said he,"have not you got almost through with your writing?" |
22511 | Very well,said the waiter;"and where will you have it? |
22511 | Well, Rollo,said he,"what shall we go to see first?" |
22511 | Well,said Mr. George,"you_ did_ take care of yourself-- didn''t you? |
22511 | What are you looking for? |
22511 | What can it mean? |
22511 | What do they do with the rafts,said Rollo,"when they get them down the river?" |
22511 | What do you mean by that? |
22511 | What do you mean by_ plausible_? |
22511 | What is it? |
22511 | What is that famous for? |
22511 | What is that? |
22511 | What is the name of the place where we are going? |
22511 | What is your name? |
22511 | What is_ schloss- vogt_? |
22511 | What makes you laugh? |
22511 | What precautions? |
22511 | What shall you do with it when I have got it done? |
22511 | Where are they going now? |
22511 | Where do they get such things nowadays? |
22511 | Where does that music come from? |
22511 | Where shall I find the Swiss? |
22511 | Who was he? |
22511 | Why not? |
22511 | Why, do n''t you like riding on the donkey? |
22511 | Why, what day is it? |
22511 | Why,said Mr. George,"are you tired of staying here?" |
22511 | Would not timber grow in Belgium and Holland? |
22511 | You can row-- can''t you? |
22511 | You sent a man with me? |
22511 | You will take a boatman? |
22511 | But will it do just as well for me to go down to the terrace, and do it there?" |
22511 | Did you have a pleasant voyage?" |
22511 | Do n''t you think you deceived me a little?" |
22511 | Do the mountains end at Bingen?" |
22511 | In going down she would be aided how much?" |
22511 | Is it Rolandseck or Koenigswinter?" |
22511 | My plan did not interfere with yours at all-- did it?" |
22511 | Now, do you think that the people who will come here to see it will get pleasure enough from it to amount in all to a thousand dollars a day?" |
22511 | Now, what did I do or say to give you any false impression?" |
22511 | Now, what is the interest of eight millions of dollars, say at three per cent.?" |
22511 | So he pointed to the steeple, and asked,--"_ Was ist das?_"This phrase,_ Was[3] ist das?_ is the German of What is that? |
22511 | So he pointed to the steeple, and asked,--"_ Was ist das?_"This phrase,_ Was[3] ist das?_ is the German of What is that? |
22511 | So he pointed to the steeple, and asked,--"_ Was ist das?_"This phrase,_ Was[3] ist das?_ is the German of What is that? |
22511 | Was not that funny? |
22511 | We might go up there, I suppose; but what should we do for dinner?" |
22511 | When they reached the landing on the opposite shore, Rollo asked the man,"How much?" |

2104 | Who are you? |

2104 | And the Pretender is coming again, they say? |
2104 | And then the execution, the realizing, amid the contradiction, silent or expressed, of men and things? |
2104 | And truly we might ask, What has become of the other more considerable"spheres"in that epoch? |
2104 | At which"correspondence,"when the Facts are once well recognized, he has at last to ask himself with amazement,"Did I ever recognize it, then?" |
2104 | Bargain clear enough: but will this Karl Philip incline to keep it? |

2104 | CORPS EVANGELICORUM, so presided over as at present, what can be had of such a Corpus? |
2104 | Fever, pestilence, are bad for the body; but Doubt, impious mutiny, doubly impious hypocrisy, are these nothing for the mind? |
2104 | For the poor Heidelberg Consistorium, as they could not undertake to give up their Church on request of his Serenity,--"How dare we, or can we?" |
2104 | For, in fact, he was dangerous; and would ask in an alarming manner,"Who are you?" |
2104 | Heathen Latins, Romans;--who perhaps were no great things of Heathen, after all, if well seen into? |
2104 | His favorite dish at dinner was bacon and greens, rightly dressed; what could the French Cook do for such a man? |
2104 | How could they? |
2104 | In King Friedrich''s time, there were wo nt to be a thousand saddle- horses at corn and hay: but how many of them were in actual use? |

2104 | May we not say that, in matter of religion too, Friedrich was but ill- bested? |

2104 | So that here is the Majesty of Prussia, who beyond all men abhors lies, giving orders to tell one? |
2104 | The money saved is something, nothing if you will; but the amount of mendacity expunged, has any one computed that? |
2104 | The supremest loud- trumpeting"political activities"which then filled the world and its newspapers, what has the upshot of them universally been? |

2117 | The Most Christian Majesty''s Ambassador, and treated in this way? |
2117 | The Pompadour, for instance: who was it that answered,"JE NE LA CONNAIS PAS; I do n''t know her!"? |
2117 | The ill- informed world rang violently, then and long after, with a Controversy,"Was it of his beginning, or Not of his beginning?" |
2117 | The question now is: Will he go back to Budin; or will he try farther towards Schandau? |
2117 | The very Pamphlets printed on it,--cannot Dryasdust give me the number of tons weight, then? |
2117 | These are the two chief Towns, which do all the trade of this region; picturesque places both:--the Tourist remembers Pirna? |
2117 | WE never would sign anything; what have we to do with it? |
2117 | What Fact lying in them was it that Friedrich had to read? |
2117 | What alternative is there? |
2117 | What will Friedrich decide on attempting? |
2117 | Which feat, when Browne hears of it, means to him,"Going to cut me off from Budin, then? |
2117 | Who would now trust us?''" |
2117 | Will not?" |
2117 | Yes, a diabolical pair, they, sure enough:--and the thing they betrayed against their Masters, was that a celestial thing? |
2117 | Yes, of course; nay I am this moment going to the Empress: only you must tell me about what?" |
2117 | counsel they:"You can not drag your ammunitions, say you; your poor couple of big guns? |
33795 | ''What other will you do? 33795 But what does this signify to us? |
33795 | But who would venture to describe all the cunning practices whereby these strollers contrive to make and collect money? 33795 It is asked what will be the issue? |
33795 | So the King''s judge spoke to the town clerk saying:''Are the women without?'' 33795 The first words of the major were:''Children, what are you doing here?'' |
33795 | When we came to the afore- mentioned village, we formed ourselves in column, fixed our bayonets, and thought what will now take place? 33795 ''Indeed,''he continued;''but if the Meiningens come?'' 33795 ''Spectacles for the Evangelical Apple of the Eye;''''A sharp round Eye on the Romish Pope;''''Who has struck the Calf in the Eye? 33795 ''Why then were the gates closed and barricaded, and we not allowed to pass through?'' 33795 ''_ Oh, mon Dieu!_''exclaimed he,''we must return thither, even were we to sit down before the gates; where are your majors?'' 33795 After a friendly greeting the father asked him in which faith he had at last resolved to die? 33795 And shall it fare better with you who have exercised more than Turkish cruelty in many evangelical places? 33795 And who knows wherefore this has begun? 33795 Are these your secret projects which are brought to light to- day? 33795 Are they the masters of my honoured mother- in- law? 33795 As, however, it is already very late, I wish my treasure to inform me whether it please her to be reconciled with me here?'' 33795 At last Levi called to the priest by his side and asked him in a clear voice what he would promise if he should consent to be baptized? 33795 Ay, ay, what have you done?'' 33795 But his Princely Highness continued:''Who may this faithless person be? 33795 But who has exalted himself above them with kingly magnificence, a great retinue and boundless expense, is it not your chief( Oxenstiern)? 33795 Do you think that this has not been complained of at every court? 33795 Does he think that anything else can be obtained by prayers, entreaties, or the like means? 33795 Have you had too little bloodshed? 33795 He asked further:''Did you all march?'' 33795 He then said, would I wish to send my wife away? 33795 Hereupon he asked once more whether they would amicably open the gate? 33795 Hereupon our lord and husband answered:''Why is so much proof required? 33795 Hereupon, Major von Benkendorf asked whether they were the councillors? 33795 How ancient was Loyola? 33795 How can we expect better than to fall into their hands? 33795 How has this money been spent? 33795 How will it fare with thee after my death? 33795 I answered, No; whereupon he inquired of me, whether I knew that the Meiningens meant to attack us that night? 33795 I asked the citizen where our soldiers were? 33795 I thought:''What the devil is the matter?'' 33795 If we have been able to bring the men into the right path, why should we not be able to deal with these little brutes?'' 33795 Is this the custom of war? 33795 Is this to be allowed? 33795 Major von S---- came straight up to me and asked me secretly, whether I had heard any news? 33795 Meanwhile, do you think that God has a flaxen beard, and will allow himself to be led by the nose? 33795 My host, himself a councillor, came and asked me what was the meaning of our not marching further? 33795 Now it was right to pay my respects to the Privy Councillor, and ask him whether he had any commands for Wasungen? 33795 Perhaps it was the grace of God? 33795 Rest assured that I am right; what think you, gentlemen? 33795 She turned herself round to the others and said:''Women, is this your will?'' 33795 The Major accosted him sharply, asking how it was that the gates were fastened, and whether a public high road did not pass through there? 33795 The Major asked him once more, whether he would yield up the ground? 33795 The Major asked whether this was not the highroad to Nuremberg? 33795 The beautiful or the frivolous? 33795 The citizens also began to inquire:''Wherefore is all this running to the commander at theBear?"'' |
33795 | The citizens quarrelled with the soldiers, and asked why they had not marched away yesterday or early to- day, and whither we had intended to go? |
33795 | The fearful S. J. which shone in gold on the stones of the college, how long would it last? |
33795 | The fifth then began:''That is right, cousin Hopf: do you not remember how it fared with us when the Imperial cavalry came? |
33795 | The said Major asked him,''Who is there besides?'' |
33795 | The seventh spoke thus:''Did I not tell you, gentlemen, what would happen, by keeping these people so long outside? |
33795 | Then Captain Brandis, who had not consented to this at their council of war, asked what this meant? |
33795 | Then I said,''Is that the way the cards are shuffled? |
33795 | They also had probably passed an unquiet night; wherefore? |
33795 | They answered:''Yes, and what did we desire?'' |
33795 | They are our border neighbours too; why should we not give them a night''s lodging?'' |
33795 | This took place after the lapse of two hours, when our husband thus addressed us in our chamber:''Is my treasure still angry with me?'' |
33795 | Was it a higher morality? |
33795 | Was it gaiety? |
33795 | What can we say? |
33795 | What might not the electors of Saxony and Brandenburg together with these cities, accomplish? |
33795 | What was this new device to the seed of Abraham? |
33795 | What were Loyola and his school to the ancient Abeles and to Levi Kurtzhandl? |
33795 | When I challenged him, he called to me,''Do you not know me?'' |
33795 | Whereupon he replied,''Who gave you the right to upbraid me as a dishonest Prince? |
33795 | Who asked them to wait so long here? |
33795 | Who could have imagined such a trick? |
33795 | Who was the man who created languages? |
33795 | Who would have dreamt of such a trick? |
33795 | Why did you not tell me the truth instead of sending me out of Wasungen by such deceit? |
33795 | Would it be well, and could one make up one''s mind to confine, or drive them all away at once? |
33795 | Would you throw the blame on the toll gatherers? |
33795 | _ What kind of a thing is that Neutrality? |
33795 | are these councillors? |
33795 | suppose we were to send a messenger on horseback to Meiningen?'' |
33795 | whereupon the man addressed me as if I were a thrasher, and asked me whether I had no orders to remain here? |
33795 | who devised the most ancient law of nations? |
33795 | who first thought of giving poetical expression to an elevated tone of mind? |
33795 | who is without envious rivals? |
22682 | A boy traveling around the world; you know, just chiseling his way around--"Just a bum, eh? |
22682 | About one hundred? |
22682 | And you kept those blueprints overnight, too? |
22682 | And you worked with Dieckhoff for six months on the same warships and never met him? |
22682 | Busy? 22682 But why do you ask me that?" |
22682 | Do you ever visit him? |
22682 | Do you usually pay social visits carrying a brief case? |
22682 | Does any propaganda come from Germany to help save America for the Americans? |
22682 | Does n''t he bring batches of_ World Service_ and other propaganda for you every time he comes into port? |
22682 | Everything is America for the Americans and to fight all alien theories and interests? |
22682 | Got any others? |
22682 | Have you a bank account? |
22682 | Have you a bank account? |
22682 | Have you ever been there? |
22682 | Have you ever visited his home at Point Loma,[15] San Diego? |
22682 | Have you heard from him from Germany? |
22682 | He could n''t possibly be in Japan now, could he? |
22682 | He understands his mission? |
22682 | How come that if you never met him both of you applied for jobs at the Brooklyn Navy Yard at about the same time? |
22682 | How did you do it on three hundred dollars for six months? |
22682 | How did you happen to work in the Brooklyn Navy Yard? |
22682 | How many people work on a destroyer-- a thousand? |
22682 | How much are you getting now at the Navy Yard? |
22682 | How much do you save a week? |
22682 | How much were you getting when you were working on the destroyers? |
22682 | How often? |
22682 | I understand your only son, Helmuth, is going to school in Langin, Germany? |
22682 | Looks like you''re doing a rushing business, eh? |
22682 | Maybe; but what''s his business here? |
22682 | No banks? |
22682 | No schools in the United States for a fifteen- year- old boy? |
22682 | On that day,I continued,"you and the Count went directly to the Captain''s cabin where you handed over your reports--""What are you getting at?" |
22682 | Shall we have a bottle of Bordeaux? |
22682 | Then how does propaganda like_ World Service_ from Erfurt, Germany, get into this country? |
22682 | Then what are you so excited about? |
22682 | This is the brother who gave you money to travel around in Germany? |
22682 | Were they_ ever_ left in your possession overnight? |
22682 | What bank? |
22682 | What do you pay for his schooling over there? |
22682 | What would your connections be with bums? 22682 What''s Nordenholz''s business?" |
22682 | What''s his business? |
22682 | What''s your brother''s business? |
22682 | When you went to Germany after working on the destroyers did anyone ever question you about them over there? |
22682 | When you worked on the cruiser''Honolulu''you handled blueprints? |
22682 | Where are those places? |
22682 | Where do you keep your money for trips to Germany? 22682 Where''s Lola?" |
22682 | Where? 22682 Where?" |
22682 | While you had these watch duties you had pretty much the run of the ship? |
22682 | Who? |
22682 | Why did you apply for a transfer from Staten Island to the Brooklyn Navy Yard? |
22682 | You also worked on turbines and other complicated and confidential structural problems on the warship? |
22682 | You and Dieckhoff worked on the same destroyers on Staten Island and you say you never met him there? |
22682 | You got shirts? |
22682 | You intend to publish them? |
22682 | You know nothing about his activities or observations of American naval and military bases? 22682 You saved all that money in cash?" |
22682 | You saw him off on a Japanese training ship which the Japanese Government sent here from the Canal Zone, did n''t you? |
22682 | You will teach me how to make them? |
22682 | You work in Brooklyn, live in Sheepshead Bay and save ten dollars a week in Port Richmond with a friend? 22682 But are you sure he did n''t come from Germany-- on his latest trip-- in January of last year? |
22682 | But what''s his business in this country?" |
22682 | Did you have the run of the ship while everybody else was asleep when you were on watch?" |
22682 | Did you save all that money in so short a time on wages of forty dollars a week?" |
22682 | Did you work there?" |
22682 | Do you know Captain George Trauernicht?" |
22682 | Do you know the Nazi Consul in Los Angeles-- Dr. George Gyssling?" |
22682 | Do you usually associate with Tyrolian bums who are chiseling their way around the world?" |
22682 | Do you usually take in members without knowing anything about them?" |
22682 | Here? |
22682 | How did you manage to live in Germany for six months on three hundred dollars? |
22682 | How do you do it on forty a week?" |
22682 | In cash?" |
22682 | In this room?" |
22682 | Is n''t that a long distance to go to save money?" |
22682 | That was the evening the Captain took a lady from Beverly Hills, to the first mate''s cabin-- remember? |
22682 | They looked puzzled and I explained:"Busy, eh?" |
22682 | Were you able to save enough for these trips on your wages?" |
22682 | What do you know about Schneeberger?" |
22682 | What do you know about a man named Maeder?" |
22682 | What do you know about him?" |
22682 | Where do you have your bank account?" |
22682 | Why do you do that?" |
22682 | You know, of course, that he does not like you?" |
22682 | You know, the lady who lives on North Crescent Drive-- shall I mention her name?" |
22682 | You understand?" |
42539 | And could England have kept on? |
42539 | Are you here for the cure? |
42539 | Are you not afraid? |
42539 | But commonly not more than ten kreutzers? |
42539 | Did you taste the Hungarian wine? |
42539 | Do you think it fair, then,I rejoined,"to sit here drinking? |
42539 | How can that be? |
42539 | How happens it,I said to a bookseller in the_ Zeil_,"that a map of Bohemia is not to be had in all Frankfort?" |
42539 | How it happens? |
42539 | Is it a most highly renowned country? |
42539 | Is n''t it yood? 42539 Perhaps you come out of Saxony?" |
42539 | Then what would you say to fifteen kreutzers? |
42539 | Was he a robber? |
42539 | What do you mean? |
42539 | What you call him? |
42539 | Where are you going? |
42539 | Who can tell,he said,"how hard it is to go away so suddenly, to leave the little home, and all friends? |
42539 | Will it please you to walk to the echo? |
42539 | Will you have it through- broiled or English- broiled? |
42539 | _ Ja-- ja-- ja!_"And how is the chief city named? |
42539 | And then they asked,"Are all Englishmen such as he?" |
42539 | As I emerged again into the sunshine, one of the soldiers said,"Do you know what? |
42539 | Ask a question, and a blunt"_ Was?_"is the first word in answer; no"_ Wie meinen sie?_"as in other places. |
42539 | Ask a question, and a blunt"_ Was?_"is the first word in answer; no"_ Wie meinen sie?_"as in other places. |
42539 | But wait-- you will have a tsigger?" |
42539 | But who shall be gay in an hospital, among sallow, haggard faces, sunken eyes, and ghastly features? |
42539 | Could not an Englishman do anything? |
42539 | Does it make any difference?" |
42539 | Es fehlt ja man eene Kleinigkeit? |
42539 | Fließt dort( in Russia) nicht Milch und Honig? |
42539 | Footsteps approached, and a man''s voice asked:"Who''s there?" |
42539 | For example:_ Philosopher._"Wie steht''s um Hellas? |
42539 | Had I slept well? |
42539 | Having entered the required particulars, the damsel leaning over the page the while, I asked her what use would be made of them? |
42539 | I asked him what amount of fee he usually received? |
42539 | If_ The Sun_ had no room, what was to be hoped for here? |
42539 | Is Baddenskey, who sits wearily at his loom down there in joyless Spitalfields, a descendant? |
42539 | Is it prince or princess this time?" |
42539 | Is it very popular?" |
42539 | Is n''t it strong? |
42539 | Is not this the birthplace of the Elbe, the river that carries fatness to many a broad league of their fatherland, and merchandise to its marts? |
42539 | Is there a secret chamber where some highest functionary sits with a black list before him, in which he must search for suspected names? |
42539 | Need I record my answer? |
42539 | No sooner did I come within earshot, than he cried, snappishly,"Why did you not give me your passport?" |
42539 | Schnaps and Sausage-- Dresdener upon Berliners-- The Prince''s Castle at Fischbach-- A Home for the Princess Royal-- Is the Marriage Popular? |
42539 | Schnaps and Sausage-- Dresdener upon Berliners-- The Prince''s Castle at Fischbach-- A Home for the Princess Royal-- Is the Marriage Popular? |
42539 | Then, mounting his rostrum, he said:"Now, children, tell me-- which is the most famous country in the world?" |
42539 | This morning? |
42539 | Though the river was far out of sight, were there not a few ponds gleaming in the hollows? |
42539 | Wann kommt Deutschland zur Harmonie? |
42539 | Was it clean gone for ever? |
42539 | Was it not very irksome to be away from home? |
42539 | Was möchten gern die Wallachen? |
42539 | Wat fehlt in Hessen? |
42539 | Wat hältst du von Russels Worte? |
42539 | What could such a company be travelling for? |
42539 | What did it mean? |
42539 | What did it mean? |
42539 | What else could it be than a spell thrown over him by_ Rübezahl_? |
42539 | What is there to be kept down that can need such an imposing force? |
42539 | What mattered it if I returned to London a week sooner or later? |
42539 | When my turn came, he asked,"Where are you going?" |
42539 | Where could such music come from? |
42539 | Where do the musicians live? |
42539 | While good Bohemian husbands are to be had, who would marry a bad Englishman? |
42539 | Who could refuse a fee for such strains as theirs? |
42539 | Who could resist such hearty hospitality? |
42539 | Why not carry home a measure of beer, and let your wife share it?" |
42539 | Why should I be in a hurry to reach the mountains? |
42539 | Why should a man grumble who has a house, and food, and land to cultivate? |
42539 | Why should you be awake and shivering when honest folk are a- bed? |
42539 | Would it not be the same if I went to the top of all the hills around Ulrichsthal? |
42539 | Yet, is there not a charm in the tamest of mountain scenery? |
42539 | _ Heut_, mean you?" |
42539 | and how much money did one need to carry? |
42539 | and,"Whether man can co- operate in the attainment of his own salvation?" |
42539 | for what?" |
42539 | was it not very expensive? |
42539 | was there no danger? |
45138 | And leave me here alone? |
45138 | Do you speak the language? |
45138 | He has a true knightly mind,said the Count;"is he born here in the valley?" |
45138 | How is that? |
45138 | Is that your father,said the Count,"who with the heavy pickaxe is tearing up the ground so manfully, as if he would crush the rocks beneath?" |
45138 | Love? |
45138 | That wo n''t do to- day,replied the father;"for we have a guest here-- but what does my hunter''s spear do there? |
45138 | Thou wilt not depart, pilgrim? |
45138 | What is the matter with thee? |
45138 | Where art thou,he mournfully exclaimed,"thou who art banished? |
45138 | Where does thy father dwell, boy? |
45138 | Again, at all the bendings of the valleys, why do the trees appear so stunted in their growth, and why are so many of them stag- headed? |
45138 | And do they not drive to church every Sunday as regularly as ourselves? |
45138 | And that poor sick girl, who has just borrowed the glass from her withered, wrinkled, skinny, little aunt? |
45138 | Are our horses ever seen standing before vulgar shops? |
45138 | Can the same prescription be good for them both? |
45138 | Can there be any in creation better fed or warmer clothed than our own? |
45138 | Dear wife,"continued he,"does not labour well reward itself, when one can receive and refresh a wanderer? |
45138 | Do we not take them to the Italian Opera, to balls, plays, to hear Paganini,& c.; and do n''t they often go to two or three routs of a night? |
45138 | Does it not rather rest upon both? |
45138 | Has it even informed them of the discovery of America? |
45138 | Has it explained to him the principle of a common pump? |
45138 | Has it explained to them any one of the wonderful works of creation? |
45138 | Has it fitted him in any way to stand in that distinguished situation which by birth and fortune he is honestly entitled to hold? |
45138 | Has it given them the power of conversing with the peasant of any one nation in Europe? |
45138 | Has it shown the young landed proprietor how to measure the smallest field on his estate? |
45138 | Has it taught him even the first rudiments of economy? |
45138 | Has it taught them a single invention of art? |
45138 | He desires, and very naturally desires, to know what the moon is?--what are the stars?--where the rain, wind, and storm come from? |
45138 | I am aware that many of my readers, especially those of the fairer sex, will feel disposed to exclaim-- Why admire German horses? |
45138 | I mean, that their education has been equal to themselves? |
45138 | I might torment my reader with many other questions, such as why, in this large country, is there scarcely a bird to be seen? |
45138 | In black and silver harness are they not ornamented nearly as highly as ourselves? |
45138 | In deep meditation the aged Count sat and thought,"Where may, then, this night my son sleep....?" |
45138 | In short, why do you not use the simple resource which nature has presented ready made to your hand?" |
45138 | Is it not curious to observe that in such a state of perspiration they can drink such deadly cold water with impunity? |
45138 | Is there any amusement in town which they do not attend? |
45138 | It is advisable to allow them to remain out of their colleges till midnight? |
45138 | Or what does that huge, unwieldy man in the broad- brimmed hat require from the Pauline?--Surely he is already about as full as he can hold? |
45138 | Quietly he stole out of the castle, the steep path descending, while the porter looked after him astounded, without demanding"Whither?" |
45138 | The poor doctor quietly shrugged up his shoulders,--silently looking at his shoes,--and what else could he have done? |
45138 | The upper classes will of course lay the blame on the lowest-- the lowest will abuse the highest-- but may not the error lie between the two? |
45138 | To teach young lads the simple doctrines of Christianity, is it advisable to hide from their minds creation? |
45138 | What would prosperity be, if there was no such sorrow as adversity? |
45138 | Which, therefore, I am seriously disposed to ask of myself, are the most likely to be right? |
45138 | Why are the houses they live in huddled together in the valleys, instead of enjoying the magnificent prospect before me? |
45138 | Why are the windows so small and the walls so thick? |
45138 | Why do you not avail yourself of the_ weight_ of the water, instead of expending your capital in converting it into the power of steam? |
45138 | With innocent simplicity he asks, what becomes of the light of a candle when it is blown out? |
45138 | Without saying one other word, I will only again ask, is it or is it not the interest of our upper classes to countenance this island system? |
45138 | and is that thy flitting spirit which rustles in my armour, and so feebly moves it? |
45138 | and that respect which they meet with from every one, does it not seem to be honestly their due? |
45138 | and what would be the smile of an approving conscience if there was not the torment of repentance writhing under guilt? |
45138 | but though they congregate,--though like birds of a feather they flock together, is there, I ask, anything arrogant in their behaviour? |
45138 | have you been again playing with it? |
45138 | oh my son, wilt thou think of thy father, as he of thee thinks-- or.... art thou dead? |
45138 | said the aged man;"but does thy father, then, often hunt upon these mountains?" |
45138 | said the astonished vine- labourer;"has this affected thee too much?" |
45138 | said the boy,"if the castle of the aged man is empty, I can surely, when I am big, go thither?" |
45138 | the manners of"the right little, tight little island,"or those of the inhabitants of the vast Continent of Europe? |
45138 | what would health be if sickness did not exist? |
45138 | who art thou?" |
33794 | ''Dear sons,''he said,''what do they think in Switzerland about Luther?'' 33794 After we had thus spoken, he inquired:''Where have you studied hitherto?'' |
33794 | Shortly after, he asked where we were born, but answered himself:''You are Swiss; from what part of Switzerland do you come?'' 33794 ''Tell me,''said the Dean,''what it is? 33794 ''What holy thing?'' 33794 ''What is your name?'' 33794 ''What?'' 33794 ''What_ Pfaff_, do you wish to drive me away? 33794 --Then he said:''How are things going on at Basle? 33794 After this his Princely Grace said to me:''Hans, did I not tell you beforehand that I would drive away my brother? 33794 And how was it with the heart of lovers? 33794 And whither was he taking them? 33794 Are you content? 33794 But what happened? 33794 But what was their position at home? 33794 But who was there that could teach me, and how was I to effect this? 33794 Carlowitz came running to him from the Chancellery, and said,''Whither will your Electoral Grace drive?'' 33794 Do you not see how luxuriously I live, that I do nothing but eat, drink, jump, and dance, and lead an enjoyable life?'' 33794 For what did the right teaching of their own Church signify to the papists of the sixteenth century? 33794 Good humour pervades the manly words,What shall I do? |
33794 | Had he done anything so very unprecedented? |
33794 | Had his gospel given greater unity and power to the nation? |
33794 | Have we not ears and understanding? |
33794 | He asked what I had done? |
33794 | How does it happen that at one time you can bear it and at another time not?'' |
33794 | How is it that this hard man has so completely lost his composure? |
33794 | I have enough for my whole life, do you not see how well I live? |
33794 | I have taken a nun for my wife, and have had children by her; who has seen that in the stars?" |
33794 | I hope that all the circumstances of my departure will show neither levity, wantonness, nor unseemly purpose? |
33794 | I returned for answer to the Duke that it was no fault of mine; and why had not his Princely Grace sent for wine in proper time? |
33794 | Is Erasmus of Rotterdam still there, and what is he doing?'' |
33794 | Is there nothing in this that speaks to us? |
33794 | The Dean replied:''Do you then believe that Christ died for us?'' |
33794 | The Dean replied:''What of Jerusalem? |
33794 | The Dean then asked:''Where was it consecrated?'' |
33794 | The noble Queen''s thoughts had been wandering to and fro, and she said to me,''What would you advise? |

33794 | Then said my aunt:''Who knows? |
33794 | Then said the Dean:''Appel, do I hurt you with my hand? |
33794 | Then the Dean bent down towards her, took the stole out of her hands and asked her:''Dear Apollonia, how are you now? |
33794 | There was a high school there, and I found some Swiss, who inquired of me from whence I came? |
33794 | Thereupon the Dean proceeded:''But I wish to know yet one thing, whether you are alone, or have any companions with you?'' |
33794 | To which he said:''Why should I not believe it? |
33794 | To which the answer was:"How could He otherwise bow down the stiff- necked?" |
33794 | Was not that a wicked nation? |
33794 | We replied,''We will do that with pleasure, but how must we designate you, that he may understand your greeting?'' |

33794 | is not the coat made yet? |
33794 | may God in Heaven hear me; this great calamity grieves me to the heart; Christ bless thee; what has happened to thee?'' |
33794 | our affairs are not going on well; they desire to stop us on our way; where shall we conceal the holy crown? |
33794 | said the Dean earnestly,''you will not come out with the words? |
33794 | said the Dean;''but tell me what is on your head?'' |
33794 | who to defend the poor citizen against the powerful family unions of the rich counsellors? |
21421 | ''Pray, who is that?'' 21421 And what did you say to that?" |

21421 | Do I dance here, in this room, Your Majesty? |
21421 | How dare you hint that I am the man to roll myself in the mud of the gutter? 21421 How many intrigues have you had during your career?" |

21421 | Lola Montez-- h''m-- what sort of man was he? |
21421 | She said:''What on earth will the Royal Family say when they hear of this? 21421 To begin with, were you not the mistress of King Ludwig?" |

21421 | A journalist, in a column account of her career, was ungallant enough to finish by enquiring"if she were the devil incarnate?" |
21421 | And is she not bound for the East, where every man has four wives?" |
21421 | But what expression can there be in a face bedaubed with white paint and enamelled? |
21421 | But where are we to detect this especial source of power? |
21421 | But where? |
21421 | Can you imagine any girl in her senses turning up her nose at such a match? |
21421 | Clarkson?" |
21421 | Did her moral life in any way detract from her popularity as a woman of talent and of beauty, and an artiste of exceeding fascination and merit? |

13043 | But responsibility to whom? |
13043 | But what of official Germany? |
13043 | But what, one is tempted to ask, if will and convictions differ? |
13043 | But what, truly, is art? |
13043 | Ca n''t we for once exchange? |
13043 | Can you tell me a single case in which the Emperor has acted contrary to the Constitution?" |
13043 | Could Bismarck suggest some one else? |
13043 | Germany has great ideals in permanent possession, but are they more or less lost to other peoples? |
13043 | Have I ever been false to my word? |
13043 | He called to me across the table( referring to''Sigurd''),''Is it agreeable if I call the child Sigurd?'' |
13043 | How can I convince a nation against its will?" |
13043 | How do we get this Latin exercise? |
13043 | How do you know?" |
13043 | In March of that year he said:"It has been asked, was this telegram an act of personal initiative or an act of State? |
13043 | In immediate proximity to it lies the question, what is ugliness? |
13043 | Is it any wonder if such a man, mediæval in his nature and modern in his character, defies clear and definite portrayal by his contemporaries? |
13043 | Is it not time to discard such error, or must the nations always suspect each other? |
13043 | Is the Kaiser just glitter and tinsel, impulse and rhapsody, with nothing solid beneath? |
13043 | It is admittedly a delightful and admirable form, but is it thoroughly complete? |
13043 | Of the demand for compensation in Central Africa? |
13043 | Of the sending of the_ Panther_ to Agadir? |
13043 | Of the speech at Tangier? |
13043 | On the evening of the birth a telegram came from Queen Victoria,"Is it a fine boy?" |
13043 | On what percentage of his subjects is such a curriculum imposed, and what allowances should not be made if a full measure of success is not achieved? |
13043 | Salzmann wired his opinion to Potsdam, and a telegram came back,"What does''wind too anxious''mean? |
13043 | She has become all three, and what injury has occurred therefrom to England or any other nation? |
13043 | The question is as hard to answer satisfactorily as the questions what is truth or what is beauty? |
13043 | This mass of shortsightedness is no use, since a man who ca n''t use his eyes-- how can he do anything later?" |
13043 | To the Emperor? |
13043 | To the Parliament? |
13043 | To the people? |
13043 | To this was to be added 6 hours in school and 2 hours for eating meals--"How much of the day,"the Emperor asks,"was left? |
13043 | Was that, I ask, the action of a secret enemy? |
13043 | Was that, I repeat, the act of one who wished England ill? |
13043 | What do you mean? |
13043 | What has come over you that you are so completely given over to suspicions quite unworthy of a great nation? |
13043 | What is Germany going to get out of it? |
13043 | What more can I do than I have done? |
13043 | What shall I do now?" |
13043 | What then? |
13043 | What was my reply? |
13043 | What was the state of our army at the beginning of the century? |
13043 | What will he eat twenty years hence, if he now gets roast meat? |
13043 | What, it may however be asked, of the Morocco adventure? |
13043 | What,"he continues,"is lacking in the education of our youth? |
13043 | Where have you been hiding yourself? |
13043 | Who, asks Heine, can name the artist who designed the cathedral of Cologne? |
13043 | Why are our young men misled? |
13043 | Why do we find so many unclear, confused world- improvers? |
13043 | Why is it?" |
13043 | Why is our government so cavilled at and criticized, and so often told to look at foreign nations? |
13043 | is it so stormily painted that you shuddered at it, or is it not stormy enough?" |

2111 | ''When will they be out, and the thing complete?'' |

2111 | All summer there has gone fitfully a rumor, that he wished to see France; perhaps Paris itself incognito? |
2111 | Amiability is good, my Princess; but the question rises,"To whom?--for example, to the young gentleman who shot himself in Lobegun?" |
2111 | And if so, How, and to what lengths, will he proceed about it? |
2111 | And in that case, how will Austria, Europe at large? |
2111 | And now this Herstal business; the Imperial Dehortatoriums, perhaps of a high nature, that are like to come? |
2111 | And the Kaiser, what will the Kaiser say to it?" |
2111 | And they are not yet out, those poor souls, after so many hundred years of praying?'' |
2111 | Apparently that is the Piece by Voltaire? |
2111 | As to the royal mind and understanding, what shall Bielfeld say? |
2111 | At his first meeting of Council, they say, he put this question,"Could not the Prussian Army be reduced to 45,000?" |
2111 | Belonged to the Spaens, fifty years ago;--some shadow of our poor banished friend the Lieutenant resting on it? |
2111 | Brussels, too, is so near these Cleve Countries; within two days''good driving:--if only the times and routes would rightly intersect? |
2111 | But Friedrich Wilhelm was on the alert for it: Are you coming in with your NIE POZWALAM( your LIBERUM VETO), then? |
2111 | But in Germany, what need of Austria being so superlative? |
2111 | But thoughtless Konig, strong in his opinion about the infinitely little, appealed to Maupertuis:"Am not I right, Monsieur?" |
2111 | But, on the other Frontier, neither England nor Holland could take umbrage,"--points clearly to Silesia, then, your Excellency Dickens? |

2111 | Colonel Loigle sends word to Broglio; Broglio despatches straightway an Officer and fine carriage:"Will the foreign Gentleman do me the honor?" |
2111 | Could not Voltaire go and try? |
2111 | Extremely interesting to know what Friedrich of Prussia will do in such contingency? |
2111 | Friedrich, in these same days, writes this Autograph; which who of men or lions could resist? |
2111 | Harrington''s reply is to the effect,"Hum, drum:--Berg and Julich, say you? |

2111 | If that is the nature of the Bashaw, and one''s sole mode of fishing knowledge from him, why not? |
2111 | Impossible to answer; minds not made up here:--What will his Prussian Majesty do for US?" |
2111 | Jordan, with his fine- drawn wit, French logics, LITERARY TRAVELS, thin exactitude; what can be done for Jordan? |
2111 | Meseems a heavier whip than that of satire might be in place here, your Majesty? |
2111 | Or perhaps the Bishop of Liege will bethink him, at last, what considerable liberty he is taking with some people''s whiskers? |
2111 | Orange itself, for example, what was to be done with the Principality of Orange? |
2111 | Perhaps Botta will penetrate him? |
2111 | Perhaps it had been better to stand by mere Prussian or German merit, native to the ground? |
2111 | Princess Tour hopes she shall lodge this unparalleled Prince in her Palace:"You, Madame?" |
2111 | Prussian Budget is fixed, many things are fixed: why talk of them farther? |
2111 | Schloss Moyland: How far from Brussels, and by what route? |
2111 | Schonborn, Austrian Kanzler, or who? |
2111 | Shall we now apply to the Royal Doggerel again, where we left off, and see the other side of the picture? |
2111 | There are magazines being formed at Frankfurt- on- Oder and at Crossen,"--handy for Silesia, you would say? |
2111 | This foreign Count speaks French wonderfully; a brilliant man, whom the others rather fear: perhaps something more than a Count? |
2111 | To Baireuth;--who knows if not farther? |
2111 | Truly; but then again, there are considerations:"What is this Friedrich, just come out upon the world? |
2111 | Two days''driving? |
2111 | Voltaire told us he himself"did one Manifesto, good or bad,"on this Herstal business:--where is that Piece, then, what has become of it? |
2111 | What Preachers he was acquainted with in Berlin? |
2111 | What are rights, never so just, which you can not make valid? |
2111 | What he thought of comedies and operas? |
2111 | What is the young King to do with this paltry little Hamlet of Herstal? |
2111 | What is to be done? |
2111 | What real fighting power has he, after all that ridiculous drilling and recruiting Friedrich Wilhelm made? |
2111 | What work was left for them? |

2111 | Why not? |
2111 | Why should not, say, Three Electors united be able to oppose her?... |
2111 | Will he be faithful in bargain; is not, perhaps, from of old, his bias always toward France rather? |
2111 | Will his Britannic Majesty guarantee me there? |
2111 | Yes; but also towards Cleve, certain detachments of troops are marching,--do not men see? |
2111 | You still say those Masses, then?'' |
2111 | Your great Sea- Armaments, did I ask you any questions about them? |

2111 | poor Broglio is thinking to himself:"must write to Court; perhaps try to detain--?" |
2111 | thinks French cultivated society:"and has not Monsieur done a feat in that line?" |
12400 | After all,he would ask,"who are these Hohenzollerns? |
12400 | Are you ill? |
12400 | How can a man of your intelligence sacrifice your principles to a single individual? |
12400 | I have never heard,he said,"a Prussian soldier singing,''Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?''" |
12400 | Not if I order it as your sovereign? |
12400 | Then I am to understand, your Majesty,said Bismarck, speaking in English;"that I am in your way?" |
12400 | What is there now existing in the world of politics which has a complete legal basis? 12400 What will come of it?" |
12400 | What would my father have said,observed Bismarck,"if he had lived to see me become clerk to a Jewish scholar?" |
12400 | What,he asks,"are the reasons against an alliance with France? |
12400 | Whose sword is it that the Emperor Napoleon has surrendered? |
12400 | Why should we look at Napoleon as the representative of the Revolution? 12400 Why,"he asked,"had they left the alliance against our common enemy, the Revolution?" |
12400 | Against this resistance what could the Government do? |
12400 | And the principle to which he was asked to sacrifice the future of his country,--was it after all a true principle? |
12400 | But if Napoleon is not the sole representative of revolutions, why make opposition to him a matter of principle? |
12400 | But why was there not to be a Conservative party in Prussia? |
12400 | Can we be surprised that as the years went on Bismarck looked with some concern on the result of the struggle he had brought about? |
12400 | Can we be surprised that he refused the offer? |
12400 | Can we wonder that he could not restrain his impatience? |
12400 | England alone clung to Free Trade, and why? |
12400 | He had no sympathy with these doubts and hesitations; why so much distrust of one another? |
12400 | He was greeted by Bismarck with the words:"What are you doing here? |
12400 | Here, at least, he felt on completely secure ground; diplomacy was his profession; what did the professors and talkers in the Chamber know of it? |
12400 | How could Prussia continue the policy of the Holy Alliance when the close union of the three Eastern monarchies no longer existed? |
12400 | How could he decide between Austria and Russia, the two ancient allies of his house? |
12400 | How could they appeal to England as a proof that a democratic Parliament was desirable? |
12400 | How have we Germans got the reputation of retiring modesty? |
12400 | In truth, when the army was the nation, what statesman was there who would venture on war unless he were attacked? |
12400 | It had been decided that in Germany Parliament was not to govern; what then was its function except to display the opinions of the people? |
12400 | It will be asked, why was Bismarck now so careful in his treatment of the smaller States? |
12400 | Meanwhile he had been maturing in his mind a bolder plan: Why should not Prussia gain the support she required by alliance with Napoleon? |
12400 | Moreover, and this was the point which affected him most, what good would come to Prussia even if she were successful in this war? |
12400 | Nay, more; was it right that he should? |
12400 | Need we be surprised that he at least considered whether the latter would not be the safer, the cheaper, and the more humane? |
12400 | No one doubted that the new Napoleon would be willing to use similar means to ensure the power of France; would he meet with willing confederates? |
12400 | The French envoy warned him that his policy might lead to another Jena;"Why not to Waterloo?" |
12400 | The King was right; Germany would never be secure so long as Strasburg was French; but can France ever be secure so long as Metz is German? |
12400 | The great question, however, was, how would Bismarck use his victory over the House? |
12400 | The ideals of the German nation were represented by Arndt''s famous song,"Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?" |
12400 | The late Czar had saved Austria from dissolution, and what had been the reward? |
12400 | The pith of it was contained in the last words:"Do you ask this from us under threat of war?" |
12400 | The question is really as absurd as it would be to ask, why is not an English Parliament content with the power enjoyed by the Prussian Parliament? |
12400 | The question will be asked, was the claim of Augustenburg valid? |
12400 | The question, however, then arose: Would Austria accept this-- would she allow a new Germany to be created in which she had no part? |
12400 | They seemed to his audience reckless; what was this reference to the Treaties of Vienna but an imitation of Napoleonic statesmanship? |
12400 | This, like all he did, was the deliberate result of the consideration: What would tend most to the growth of Prussian power? |
12400 | To whom did the king owe his power? |
12400 | Was Prussia to take part with Russia or the Western Powers? |
12400 | Was it not better to complete the work by the sacrifice of Belgian independence rather than by the loss of 300,000 lives? |
12400 | Was there no fear of this? |
12400 | We may ask, on the other hand, why should the King of Prussia sacrifice his power and prerogative? |
12400 | Were they, however, still to give up all hope of some increase of French territory? |
12400 | What claim had France to be treated with a leniency which she has never shewn to any conquered enemy? |
12400 | What could they do to save the monarchy when the King himself had deserted their cause? |
12400 | What could they look forward to in the future but a ruined peasantry and the crippling of the iron and weaving industries? |
12400 | What did the citizens of Cologne and Aachen care about the Seven Years''War? |
12400 | What do we think of politicians who try to introduce among us the institutions and the faults of foreign countries? |
12400 | What interests of theirs were at stake that they should incur this danger? |
12400 | What is the good of making speeches and scolding? |
12400 | What is the proper use of principles in diplomacy? |
12400 | What is the use of treaties which men are forced to sign? |
12400 | What other country, he asked, was there where a defeated party would look forward to the help of foreign armies? |
12400 | What prospect was there now of this? |
12400 | What recompense were they to gain for this? |
12400 | What use was there in a negotiation in which the two parties had no common ground? |
12400 | What was Bismarck''s motive in making these suggestions and enquiries? |
12400 | What was at the root of the conflict but the question, whether in the last resort the will of the King or the majority of the House should prevail? |
12400 | What was it to be? |
12400 | What was now to be done? |
12400 | What was the cause of this enmity? |
12400 | What was the truth in the matter? |
12400 | What was to be done? |
12400 | What was to happen? |
12400 | What were Bismarck''s motives in this affair? |
12400 | What were the motives which influenced Bismarck? |
12400 | What were to be the terms of the more intimate and special understanding? |
12400 | What would have happened had Denmark after all given in, as England strongly pressed her to do? |
12400 | What would it be when every working man looked forward to receiving, after his working days were over, a free gift from the Government? |
12400 | When Bismarck visited Napoleon at Biarritz, the first question of the Emperor was,"Have you guaranteed Venetia to Austria?" |
12400 | Where was the power to do this? |
12400 | Where, however, were they to address themselves? |
12400 | Who could do this better than Bismarck? |
12400 | Who could say what the end would be? |
12400 | Who had more boldly supported and praised the new rulers of Austria? |
12400 | Who so fitted to come to the help of the Crown as this man who, ten years before, had shewn such ability in Parliamentary debate? |
12400 | Who that has read the history of Europe during this year can doubt the justice of the remark? |
12400 | Who was so well suited to solve the difficulties of internal policy with which Bismarck had struggled so long? |
12400 | Why do great States wage war nowadays? |
12400 | Why should Prussia imitate other countries? |
12400 | Why should Prussia now alone, to its own injury, adopt this excessive caution?" |
12400 | Why should it not have its own Constitution in its own way? |
12400 | Why should they go to war in order to subject Prussia not to the Princes but to the Chambers of the smaller States? |
12400 | With the Peace a new stage begins; the Duchies had been transferred to the Allied Powers; how were they now to be disposed of? |
12400 | Would Austria support Saxony or Prussia? |
12400 | Would he be able to bring it about? |
12400 | Would the Government now press their victory and use the enthusiasm of the moment permanently to cripple the Constitution? |
12400 | Would the King of Prussia accept this task? |
12400 | Would they be able to succeed where the diplomatists of Vienna had failed? |
12400 | Would, however, Schleswig go with Holstein or with Denmark? |
12400 | You have not forgiven us Sadowa, and would you forgive us Sedan? |
12400 | asked Bismarck;"is it the sword of France or his own? |
12400 | why should Prussia sacrifice herself to preserve English influence in the Mediterranean, or the interests of Austria on the Danube? |
2106 | Captain Natzmer to swing on the gallows? 2106 Dismissed, turned off for some fault or other-- or perhaps because the Princess knows enough of English?" |
2106 | Hearken, Louisa( HORE, LUISE), it is still time,said the King:"Tell us, wouldst thou rather go to Anspach, now, or stay with me? |
2106 | Is that enough? 2106 No answer yet?" |
2106 | No answer? |
2106 | Small- pox; what will Prince Fred think? 2106 These intolerable usages from England[ Seckendorf is rumored to have said], can your Majesty endure them forever? |
2106 | What is this? 2106 When will it go off, then( WANN GEHT ES LOS)?" |
2106 | Where is our real King, then? 2106 Who''s dat who ride astride de pony, So long, so lean, so lank and bony? |
2106 | Write to England? 2106 Your whole debt, then, is that? |
2106 | --"Hm, Na, would it, then?" |
2106 | --"What third party, then?" |
2106 | --''What do you mean by that?'' |
2106 | --O my dim old Friend, these surely are sublimities of the sick- bed? |

2106 | A man of quality caught me, the other day, reading a Latin Author; and asked me, with an air of contempt, Whether I was designed for the Church? |
2106 | A man of some worth, too;"scrupulously kept his word,"say the witnesses: a man always conscious to himself,"Am not I a man of honor, then?" |
2106 | A successful visit; burns off like successful fire- works, piece after piece: and what more is to be said? |
2106 | After which he left me?" |
2106 | Alas, in the end of June, what far other Job''s- post is this that reaches Berlin and Queen Sophie? |
2106 | Alas, the money was eaten; how could the money be paid back? |
2106 | And the Double- Marriage, in such circumstances, are we to consider it as dead, then? |
2106 | And they called Rebecca, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? |
2106 | And this man is probably one of the"Four Kings"she was to be asked by? |
2106 | And with whom? |
2106 | At length Borck hits on a consideration:"Your Majesty has been ill lately; hand perhaps not so steady as usual? |
2106 | Barely possible some lighter readers might wish to see, for one moment, an Excellenz that has been seized by a Press- gang? |
2106 | But having no forces in the country, what could he do? |
2106 | But how to turn it aside? |
2106 | But is his Britannic Majesty aware? |
2106 | But the settlements, the applications to Parliament:--and all for this perverse Fred, who has become unlovely, and irritates our royal mind? |
2106 | But what can anything profit? |
2106 | Did English readers ever hear of Franke? |
2106 | Does not hate us, he, perhaps; but only Grumkow through him? |
2106 | Friedrich Wilhelm had answered,"Gout?" |
2106 | Friedrich Wilhelm sees well that it all comes from George''s private humor: Why should human blood be shed except George''s and mine? |
2106 | He asked my Sister, If that gave her pleasure? |
2106 | Her Majesty is overjoyed to hear it: who would not be? |
2106 | I am breaking up, then?" |
2106 | If his Majesty had looked into the wood- closet? |
2106 | Is not Grumkow worth his pension? |
2106 | Is not this itself sufficiently tragical? |
2106 | It is certain, the dilapidated Polish Majesty having become a Widower, questions would rise, Will not he marry again? |
2106 | Or can it be the State that will profit from such a marriage? |
2106 | Or shall we not clutch at England, after all,--and perhaps bring him to terms? |
2106 | Part of his road lies through Prussian Territory:"Shall he have free post- horses, as his late Majesty was wo nt?" |
2106 | Perhaps uses may lie in it there? |
2106 | Pragmatic Sanction once acceded to, would probably propitiate the Kaiser? |
2106 | Princes of the Powers of the Air, Shall we define them? |
2106 | Probably the Kaiser will sit still? |
2106 | Probably the Termagant, with all the fire she has, will not do much damage upon Gibraltar? |
2106 | Prussia and Hanover retained hold of their Hypothecs; for as to the expenses, what hope was there? |
2106 | Shall we sum up that sorry matter here, and wash our hands of it? |
2106 | Simple honest Orson of a Prussian Majesty, what a bepainted, beribboned insulting Play- actor Majesty has he fallen in with!--"Hm, so? |
2106 | So that things look well? |

2106 | The SECOND,--cannot WE guess who the second is? |
2106 | The question means withal, What is to be done in these dreadful Congress- of- Soissons complexities, and mad reelings of the Terrestrial Balance? |
2106 | Then his Russian Unique of Wives:--his probable adventures, prior and subsequent, in Uncle Peter''s sphere, can these have been pleasant to him? |
2106 | Then there is the Meadow of Clamei which we spoke of:"That belongs to Brandenburg, you say? |
2106 | Then, you English, what is the meaning of these war- fleets in the West Indies; in the Mediterranean, on the very coast of Spain? |
2106 | There exists no Prussia, then, for little George?" |
2106 | These Diplomatic gentlemen,--say, are they aught? |
2106 | Thus the negotiation hangs fire; and will do so,--till dreadful waterspouts come, and perhaps quench it altogether? |
2106 | To a wise much- meditative House- Mastiff, can that be pleasant, from an unthinking dizened creature of the Ape species? |

2106 | What Friedrich Wilhelm did with such a mass of wild pork? |
2106 | What to do in such a crisis? |

2106 | Why should he? |
2106 | Why was there no Hansard in that Institution of the Country? |
2106 | Wilt thou, Louisa?'' |
2106 | Would Finkenstein( Head Tutor), or would Knyphausen( distinguished Official here), be the agreeable man?" |

2106 | and How she would regulate her housekeeping when married? |
2106 | he, doubtless, will help in quelling those Peasant and other Anarchies? |
2106 | replied the King:''what is there wanting at my table?'' |
2106 | says adoring Fassmann; who privately knows of"Courts"( perhaps the GLORWURDIGSTE, Glory- worthiest, August the Great''s Court, for one?) |
2106 | what would Wilhelmina have thought? |
6948 | Any likelihood of his remembering your services? |
6948 | Anything you wish elucidated? |
6948 | But what can I do? |
6948 | Do you know, Countess, the object of my mission? |
6948 | Do you know,he asked abruptly,"if the German Emperor ever communicates with Viscount Haldane?" |
6948 | Have you got anything for me? |
6948 | Ho, friend,I said;"ready to buy a hotel eh? |
6948 | How and under what circumstances? |
6948 | How are they treating you? |
6948 | How did you get to know him? |
6948 | How did you know? |
6948 | How do you know that? 6948 How long were you in Morocco?" |
6948 | How old are you, Doctor? |
6948 | How would you suggest that we go about it? |
6948 | Is it so extensive and efflcient as we have been led to believe? |
6948 | Is that all? |
6948 | Is the confinement irksome to you? |
6948 | Is there a Countess Techlow? |
6948 | Is there any likelihood of my being recognized? |
6948 | It''s not by your orders then that I am followed? |
6948 | Light it, wo n''t you? 6948 Russia? |
6948 | Subsequently? |
6948 | Suppose, under stress of circumstances the United States should take a definite stand against us in this matter? |
6948 | Supposing,he said,"we show you that it was a_ quasi_-deliberate intention on the part of your employers to have you caught-- what then?" |
6948 | Their system? |
6948 | Tired of waiting, mon ami? |
6948 | Well, Doctor,he said,"have you made up your mind to enter our Service? |
6948 | What do you want? |
6948 | What is your price for not telling? |
6948 | What point? |
6948 | What reason have you then to rearrange my clothes? |
6948 | What reason have you to believe that you were followed? |
6948 | What''s he doing; gambling a lot? |
6948 | Where were your first instructions received? |
6948 | Why have n''t you come to the Folies lately? |
6948 | You agree? 6948 You know Kaid MacLean?" |
6948 | You know Morocco? |
6948 | You''re foolish to stay in here-- You must have something worth while-- Why do n''t you get out? |
6948 | ("Do we begin?") |
6948 | After some commonplace conversation, as to how the season was, I asked:"Anybody of interest here?" |
6948 | And have I not reason to be? |
6948 | Any documentary evidence of having been there?" |
6948 | Any private reason?" |
6948 | Are n''t we all drinking together?" |
6948 | Are you ready to start tomorrow?" |
6948 | Are you willing to give these sixteen months of your time to us-- terms to be agreed upon later? |
6948 | But how strong was this alliance? |
6948 | But what had they accomplished? |
6948 | But what were the terms of their bargain? |
6948 | By the way, do you know him?" |
6948 | Can you do anything for me?" |
6948 | Can you imagine a more difficult field of operations for an Occidental and a stranger? |
6948 | Do you know if any officials or naval officers are selling or negotiating to sell information to Foreign Intelligence Departments?" |
6948 | Do you know of any small hotel that we could bug cheap?" |
6948 | Doctor? |
6948 | Finally I said:"Have you any means by which you could compel the ducal house to make adequate acknowledgments and redresses to you?" |
6948 | Finally the conversation drifting around to the cause of my visit, he said:"Can you fulfill this mission?" |
6948 | Formerly of an Hussar regiment, I take it?" |
6948 | Geht''s los?" |
6948 | Have you any data? |
6948 | Have you any reason to fear your previous mission to the Balkans?" |
6948 | He stood for a moment regarding me, then he said,"Well, what is this? |
6948 | How close would England stick to France? |
6948 | How in the world is he or his seat- mate going to do harm to a big craft the size of the Zeppelin that is far above him? |
6948 | How is it that you seem so satisfied with me?" |
6948 | How is this to be done? |
6948 | How soon can you be ready to go on a mission?" |
6948 | I called a careta and as we were driving down the boulevard I said to her:"Is this existence always pleasant? |
6948 | I had to find out local intrigues and gossips, who was in Monte Carlo and what was doing, who were the leading demi- mondaines and gamblers? |
6948 | I opened fire in this way:"Have you any reason to believe that I am a Germa spy?" |
6948 | I was young then, and curious so I asked:"Who are those above and what are their instructions?" |
6948 | If it is n''t his money, whose money is he spending? |
6948 | If this was an honest business letter why was it enclosed in the envelope stationery of a company that knew nothing about it? |
6948 | Is it not as it was with that officer, often unendurable?" |
6948 | Is there any reason why you should not work for us? |
6948 | Know nothing about Russia, yet have acquired a taste for the fine candies of the Moscovites? |
6948 | Mr. King-- Was he released because of the state of his health? |
6948 | Mr. King-- Were any conditions imposed at the time of his release? |
6948 | Now do I get a look at Herr Schmidt''s kiste?" |
6948 | Of course, you have not forgotten the message that you memorized before the Emperor?" |
6948 | On what grounds do you make that assertion?" |
6948 | One morning I would come downstairs to be slapped in the face before a hotel full of people and what could I do? |
6948 | Presently His Majesty looked up, and in that same, rather shrill voice, asked:"How long are you in the Service?" |
6948 | Shall I tell them?" |
6948 | She said:"What guarantee have I that you''ll keep your side of the bargain?" |
6948 | She shook the letters in a temper and cried:"I wonder what Franz''s uncle would say to these? |
6948 | Skeletons at the feast? |
6948 | Still as fond of strawberries as ever?" |
6948 | The mildness of your sentence, has it surprised you?" |
6948 | Then Wilhelm looked up and said:"Have you memorized it?" |
6948 | Understand?" |
6948 | Verstehen sie?" |
6948 | Von Stammer must have noticed my hesitation, for he grinned and said:"Nervous about it?" |
6948 | Walking with quick nervous steps to his desk he acknowledged our bows with a curt nod and turning to Stammer he said:"Well, Stammer?" |
6948 | Was I not fulfilling my duties as a physician doing research work? |
6948 | Well?" |
6948 | Were there any possible Secret Service men? |
6948 | Were you, for instance, at the Schlangenbad meeting? |
6948 | What better than a group photograph of her dear and new friends? |
6948 | What do I do?" |
6948 | What do you think of the chances?" |
6948 | What had loomed big? |
6948 | What if the antecedents of some of the pleasure seekers here were known? |
6948 | What is your Wilhelmstrasse number?" |
6948 | What was his firm willing to pay 100 pounds for? |
6948 | What was in the wind? |
6948 | What was the latest at the Wilhelmstrasse? |
6948 | What will become of France? |
6948 | Where then was it? |
6948 | Wherefor this knowledge? |
6948 | Who are you?" |
6948 | Who is the power holding this key to the situation? |
6948 | Who is this stranger? |
6948 | Who was supplying this driving force, the money, officers? |
6948 | Why not come along to Paris?" |
6948 | Why not make the occasion a happy one? |
6948 | Why then the completely changed attitude of Servia and Bulgaria after their mutual successes against the Turk? |
6948 | Why this return? |
6948 | Why was Germany conniving secretly with Japan? |
6948 | Why was cash enclosed, with it? |
6948 | Why was this letter unsigned? |
6948 | Why? |
6948 | Why? |
6948 | Will the reader step back with me in the narrative to the day of my officially joining the Service? |
6948 | Wo n''t you join me in a glass of wine?" |
6948 | Would the Russian Bear be caught? |
6948 | You thoroughly know what is required of you, Doctor?" |
6948 | You thoroughly understand your instructions? |
6948 | You understand?" |
6948 | You''re rather fond of him already, are n''t you? |
6948 | gentleman be a little more explicit? |
33891 | Ah, you are here, are you? 33891 Am I a nothing at all?" |
33891 | Am I not to have any peace from you? |
33891 | And how do they say,''Yes, not bad?'' |
33891 | And how is his Highness Duke Philip, that excellent prince? 33891 And what is your husband''s name?" |
33891 | And why, what''s to prevent you? |
33891 | Are you provided with small change that is current everywhere? |
33891 | Ca n''t you hear? |
33891 | Can not you give us some wine? 33891 Dear cousins,"she said to the Schwartes,"how do you do? |
33891 | Dear son,said our mother,"why this sadness? |
33891 | Did you hear what the cardinal said? |
33891 | Do you admit the doctrine of our holy father, the pope? |
33891 | Do you hear me? |
33891 | Do you want any fish? |
33891 | Dost thou know a war cry? |
33891 | From what country? |
33891 | Have not you noticed any one going in a great hurry either on horseback or on foot? |
33891 | Have you any children? |
33891 | How am I to pass without the smallest bit of parchment? |
33891 | How dare you,I exclaimed,"talk in that way in Italy, and on the very territory of the Church? |
33891 | In that case,I retorted,"are you not yourselves under the Divine protection?" |
33891 | Johannes Walther? 33891 Johannes, Peter, Nicholas,"he exclaimed,"can you understand this horrible and ignominious death for claiming my own property?" |
33891 | Just look, father,I exclaimed,"did I not sell myself at my worth? |
33891 | Master Johannes,said we,"you know it is forbidden to eat before the mass?" |
33891 | Oh,he remarked,"you are going farther, then?" |
33891 | Should I be deserving of the magistrates''confidence if I were so incapable of conducting my own affairs? 33891 To whom dost thou belong?" |
33891 | True, will your Grace give me your hand on the promise? |
33891 | What am I doing here? 33891 What are we to do?" |
33891 | What are you doing here, and what has happened? |
33891 | What do you want now? |
33891 | What does it matter? |
33891 | What for? |
33891 | What had they done? |
33891 | What hast thou got in thy valise? |
33891 | What have you got there? |
33891 | What is your opinion with regard to the Mother of God, the saints and the celebration of mass? |
33891 | What shall you do with your nice house? |
33891 | What''s the meaning of this? |
33891 | What''s your name? |
33891 | What, are you married? |
33891 | What? 33891 Whither are you going?" |
33891 | Whither are you going? |
33891 | Whither art thou going? |
33891 | Who goes there? |
33891 | Why are the gates shut, and why is the alarm being sounded? |
33891 | Why does this woman speak of her daughter and not of her husband? |
33891 | Why vex our parents? 33891 You scum of the earth,"he yelled;"did you not unjustly fine me twenty florins? |
33891 | _ Sunt isti ex tuâ parte?_he asked. |
33891 | _ Ubi est noster Carlovitius?_he asked of Duke Maurice. |
33891 | ( How did he know, except by reading our thoughts?) |
33891 | 1527( July 24? |
33891 | And now I ask you, is it not the same whether you enter Paradise by the door or by the window? |
33891 | And why, if these are your opinions, do you take service against the Evangelicals?" |
33891 | Are we to jeopardize our liberties?" |
33891 | Are you willing to hand over the public chest?" |
33891 | As her daughters were weeping bitterly my mother said:"Why do you weep? |
33891 | At the end of the meal a goblet(?) |
33891 | But does the ass ever succeed in hiding its ears? |
33891 | But what about Ingoldstadt? |
33891 | Carlowitz came down the stairs of the chancellerie in hot haste, exclaiming:"Whither is your Highness going?" |
33891 | Citzewitz having said,"The princes are lords of the chapter,"Dr. Tauber replied,"Yes,_ sed secundum quid_? |
33891 | Clever man that he was, the confessor asked:"_ Ubi maledixisti Pontifici, in patriâ vel hic Romae?_""_ In patriâ_." |
33891 | Consequently, one has the right to ask:"Where was the advantage of detaching the seal?" |
33891 | Could it be expected that such a river should suddenly lose itself in the sand? |
33891 | Do Lorbeer''s admirers imagine that Duke Albrecht would not have avenged the outrage when once his throne was consolidated? |
33891 | Do not we read in the Epistles of Paul:''Marriage is honourable among all things''? |
33891 | Do you remember how your wife mourned her mother? |
33891 | Does not the poet say,_ Omina principiis semper inesse solent_? |
33891 | Does she still cry at the mention of her name? |
33891 | Have you not got your paunch to fill?" |
33891 | How am I to keep alive? |
33891 | How did we dare to appear in public armed with daggers-- a crime which was punished with hanging in Italy? |
33891 | How is your wife? |
33891 | How were they going to avoid being sent to prison? |
33891 | How would people, for whom the space of a large city seemed insufficient, agree under the same roof, at the same board, in the same bed? |
33891 | I wonder if I could find any instance of such disinterestedness in our country? |
33891 | If one wishes to ascertain the revenues of an ecclesiastic, he asks:"How many harlots?" |
33891 | If we were not the lovers of her daughter- in- law why should we have come at this late hour in the neighbourhood where no stranger ever came? |
33891 | If, however, we turn the leaf, what do we read? |
33891 | If, in the evening, there was a knock at the door, the bird asked:"Is anybody knocking?" |
33891 | Is not the blood- feud one of the oldest of Teutonic institutions? |
33891 | One of the Forty- Eight having asked,"What do you think of it, my worthy burghers?" |
33891 | Somebody thereupon observed,"Why are you shouting''Yes''? |
33891 | The Lord, however, objected, and addressed the supplicant:''Hast thou never read that I am the way and the door to everlasting life?'' |
33891 | The emperor, having looked and appreciated everything, asked:"To whom, sister mine, belongs this house?" |
33891 | The girl had, nevertheless, been to Communion since; how, then, could the Evil One have kept his position? |
33891 | The patient(?) |
33891 | Then the interrogatory went on:"Do you profess the Catholic religion?" |
33891 | Then what''s the good of him?" |
33891 | Then, turning to me,"And how are you, cousin? |
33891 | Was I to prolong my stay in Rome? |
33891 | Was it a_ conjunctio causalis, cum posteaquam_, or an_ adverbium temporis, quando_? |
33891 | Was it as hot there as in Rome? |
33891 | Was the war to be pursued? |
33891 | Were they to preserve silence about the affair, or inform the cardinal? |
33891 | What becomes of the_ Ammeister''s_ usual haunt when the_ Ammeister_ is a member of that particular tribe? |
33891 | What crime have I committed?" |
33891 | What hast thou to say against that, infamous libeller? |
33891 | What if our counsellors should have been attacked by these people, decoyed into the wood, and plundered? |
33891 | What shall I say about Burgomaster Lorbeer, the instigator of the three riots, and especially of the third against Smiterlow? |
33891 | What strange_ communicatio idiomatum_ was going to result from that marriage? |
33891 | What was I to do? |
33891 | What was the danger of saying whence we came and whither we were going? |
33891 | What was the upshot? |
33891 | What, after all, have I to gain by a lawsuit now that the prince, heaven be praised, thanks me by word of mouth and in writing? |
33891 | What, on the other hand, could be more simple than the averting of the blow by a pretended renunciation in favour of Mathias? |
33891 | When Citzewitz at the termination of a debate asked:"Who undertakes the inditing?" |
33891 | When my brother Johannes returned from the University of Wittemberg, she asked him what was the Latin for"This is certainly a good- looking girl?" |
33891 | When we got near to the Pô, he said:"Ferrara lies no doubt in your most direct road to Germany, but what could you see there of interest? |
33891 | Where did the money for all this display come from? |
33891 | Where then could we find somebody successfully to intercede for us? |
33891 | Who compelled him to commit so many foolish fabrications to paper? |
33891 | Who had been our guide? |
33891 | Why had I not gone to the bottom of the Elbe? |
33891 | Why had she not met with a more staid and sober guardian? |
33891 | Why hast thou summoned me before thee? |
33891 | Why should I deny myself the sight of such rejoicings? |
33891 | Why then should I decline the important Stralsund appointment? |
33891 | Will you please name your own time?" |
33891 | Yet by whom were the poor innocents in Rome deprived of baptism and life? |
33891 | and how are your children?" |
33891 | how are your wives? |
2107 | But what is to become of Nosti? 2107 Coffee- houses?" |
2107 | Field of Blenheim, says your Majesty? 2107 I AM Kaiser now, then?" |
2107 | I was so little moved by it, that I answered, going on with my work,''Is that all?'' 2107 QUE FAIRE? |
2107 | QUE FAIRE? |
2107 | Tush,answers old Karl Philip always:"Bargain?" |
2107 | Well,answers England,"who can help it? |
2107 | Wish we could manage the Marriage; but this Grumkow, this--Cannot they contrive to send an ORIGINAL strong enough? |
2107 | ''Infamous CANAILLE,''said he;''darest thou show thyself before me? |
2107 | ''Well,''says he,''the Emperor will abandon the Netherlands, and who will be master of them? |
2107 | ''What,''cried the Queen,''you have had the barbarity to kill him?'' |
2107 | ''Yes, I tell you,--but where is the sealed Desk?'' |
2107 | --"Quit of him? |
2107 | --"Why bother with the Kaiser and his German puddles?" |
2107 | ---Then why not SILENCE about both, my Friend Smelfnngus? |
2107 | --Which, alas, what can it avail with the Britannic Majesty, in regard to such outrageous Propositions from the Prussian? |
2107 | A brisk military man, in the prime of his years; who might do as Prussian Envoy himself, if nothing great were going on? |
2107 | A loyal, clever, and gallant kind of young fellow, if your Majesty will think? |
2107 | Across the Rhine to Speyer is but three hours riding; thence to Landau, into France, into--? |
2107 | Ah, DID you send me Berlin sausages, then, you untrue Papa? |
2107 | All is right, Nosti, is it not? |
2107 | And August the Strong-- what shall we say of August? |
2107 | And I insinuated something of it to his Majesty, the day before yesterday[ 27th April, 1730, therefore? |
2107 | And his Royal Highness the Crown- Prince all this while? |
2107 | And now--? |
2107 | And this, then, is what the Hotham mission is come to? |
2107 | As my Brother was most in my anxieties, I asked, If it concerned him? |
2107 | At Bamberg why should a Prussian Majesty linger, except for picturesque or for mere baiting purposes? |
2107 | At Gera, dim, old Town,--does not your Royal Highness well know the"Gera Bond( GERAISCHE VERTRAG)"? |
2107 | Baked by machinery; how otherwise could peel or roller act on such a Cake? |
2107 | Bargains?" |
2107 | Buddenbrock was there, and Anhalt- Dessau: for their very sake, were there nothing farther, one surely ought to go? |
2107 | But is it not the seed- ground of the Hohenzollerns, this Nurnberg, memorable above cities to a Prussian Majesty? |
2107 | But it is not in the power of reward or punishment to bend her female will in the essential point:''Divorce, your Highness? |
2107 | But what then? |
2107 | But where can the Prince be? |
2107 | Could Jupiter Tonans, had he been travelling on business in those parts, have done better with his dinner?--"At Sinzheim?" |
2107 | Could not Katte get a"Recruiting Furlough,"leave to go into the REICH on that score; and join one there? |
2107 | Deeply pondering these things, what shall the poor Prince do? |
2107 | Divine Laws, are they not? |
2107 | Duhan: did not forget to inform you of that? |
2107 | EINMAL KORPERLICH MISSHANDELT: why did not the Professor give us time, occasion, circumstances, and name of some eye- witness? |
2107 | Franz Josias, a hearty man of thirty- five, he too will stand by the Kaiser in these coming storms? |
2107 | Friedrich Wilhelm said, this Sunday evening at Darmstadt to his own Prince:"Still here, then? |
2107 | German puddles?" |
2107 | Give it up; and go, unmolested, to the-- in fact to the Devil: Can not you?" |
2107 | Has not she, by her incantations, made the stone houses dance out hither? |
2107 | He must be in the Hague? |
2107 | Heilbronn, the most famous City on the Neckar; and its old miraculous Holy Well--? |
2107 | Into France, into Holland, England? |
2107 | Let him take the answer they give him?" |
2107 | May not one reasonably pretend that a bargain should be kept? |
2107 | My Amiable and his Seckendorf, need they ask if Nosti will, and in a way to give them pleasure?"... |
2107 | Nay need we, a few months ago, have spent such loads of gold subsidizing those Hessians and Danes against him? |
2107 | Nay what is still more mortifying, my Brother says,"On the whole, I had better, had not I?" |
2107 | Nay, at any rate, what are the Letters? |
2107 | Need he fear their new Hotham, then? |
2107 | No definite countenance from England, the reverse rather, your Highness sees;--how can there be? |
2107 | Or is not the ultimate closing day perhaps still notabler; a day of universal eating? |
2107 | Or perhaps he has the curiosity to know the speech of birds? |
2107 | Ought we not to make a run to Dresden, therefore, and apprise the Polish Majesty? |
2107 | Page Keith, at this moment, comes with a pair of horses, too:"Whither with the nags, Sirrah?" |
2107 | Political men take some interest in the question;"Why neglect your Prince of Wales?" |
2107 | Prince Friedrich to be STATTHALTER in Hanover with his English Princess? |
2107 | Reader, have you tried such a thing? |
2107 | Seckendorf emerges from the other Barn; awake at the common hour:"How do you like his Royal Highness in the red roquelaure?" |
2107 | Seek justice for himself by his 80,000 men and the iron ramrods? |
2107 | Sits the wind in that quarter? |
2107 | Suppose he went to the Hague, and took soundings there what welcome we should have? |
2107 | Surely the law of No- company does not extend to that of an innocent child? |
2107 | That is the method settled on; neighborhood of Berlin, clearly somewhere there, must be the place? |
2107 | The Townhouse too( RATHHAUS), with its amazing old Clock? |
2107 | The meaning, we perceive, is in sum:"Hm, you wo n''t, surely? |
2107 | This Deserter Crown- Prince and his accomplices, especially Katte his chief accomplice, what is to be done with them? |
2107 | This is what it is come to?" |
2107 | To glide out of their quarters there, in that waste negligent old Town( where post- horses can be had), in the gray of the summer''s dawn? |
2107 | To overturn the Country, belike; and fling the Kaiser, and European Balance of Power, bottom uppermost? |

17737 | What need I say of Turkey that you do not know already? 17737 After our experiences of 1868 and 1869--and even 1870--how can we be guilty of running the same risks again? 17737 Am I not entitled to say to you, dear readers,I have fulfilled the mission that I set before myself, my work amongst you is accomplished"? |
17737 | And what is more, has not the new President of the Evangelical Church just proclaimed William II as_ summus episcopus_? |
17737 | Are not the intentions of Germany plain enough now and sufficiently proved? |
17737 | Are we, then, to see the Reichstag in its turn, like the French and Italian Parliaments, wasting its millions and its men in colonial adventures? |
17737 | As to such questions as those of territorial frontiers, or the banks of the Rhine, Bamberger used to ask,"Who thinks of such things in Germany? |
17737 | Between this German conception of peace and ours, is there not a gulf that nothing can ever bridge? |
17737 | But if not, why should they have been at such pains formerly to prove to me that the thing was inconceivable? |
17737 | But what does the Constitution matter to William II? |
17737 | But what have they done? |
17737 | But why, and to what end? |
17737 | Can any one possibly find any absolution, any excuses, for such a deplorable mismanagement of our material and moral interests in the East? |
17737 | Can the heavens that look down on Mount Sinai smile on William II, sheltering in the shadow of Turkish bayonets? |
17737 | Could any one be more determined to be a pillar of the Church? |
17737 | Could anybody be more pious, a more resolute foe of those vices which he pursues with such energy? |
17737 | Did he not do everything to lull the suspicions of Napoleon whilst he himself was arming to the teeth? |
17737 | Does it mean to say that the French would threaten us with war if we continue to celebrate our victories over them? |
17737 | Does not this constitute an insolent challenge to the decision which the Powers are supposed to have taken for the observation of neutrality? |
17737 | Has he not composed psalms? |
17737 | Has the Hamburg Congress disabused the minds of French Socialists on the brotherhood of their German brethren? |
17737 | Have the wings of the German Emperor the span of those of Lucifer, as he believes? |
17737 | How can anybody suppose that William II really wishes to do honour to French art? |
17737 | How could we forget those who have not ceased to remember? |
17737 | How many strengthening and encouraging letters have I not received from you? |
17737 | How often have I not told him that all he has to gain by playing this game is a final surrender on the part of France? |
17737 | I wonder whether the ever- mystical William II sometimes reflects on the ways by which God leads men into His appointed ways? |
17737 | If it is difficult now to expel all malcontents from Prussia, what will it be when their number is legion? |
17737 | If they reflect, will not the Powers of the Concert realise that Germany''s every act is either a challenge or a lesson? |
17737 | If you ask: To whom does William II give satisfaction? |
17737 | In binding herself to Germany, has not Italy given herself over into bondage to the Teuton and especially to Austria, her hereditary foe? |
17737 | In different words they ask:"Is n''t the young Emperor amusing?" |
17737 | In the Empire of the Hapsburgs, as in Germany, people are asking;"What is going to be the end of all this expenditure?" |
17737 | Is he not about to take possession, in theatrical fashion, of the Holy Places? |
17737 | Is he not the_ summus episcopus_, who conducts the service in person? |
17737 | Is it generally known that the German subjects of the poorer class who inhabit Paris, receive an annual subsidy of 100 marks? |
17737 | Is it not the same for all evil- doers, no matter to what heights they may attain, who only climb that they may be hurled to lower depths? |
17737 | Is it possible that the mind of such a man, thus inflated with pride, should not succumb to every temptation of ambition? |
17737 | Is not this clear enough? |
17737 | Is not this in itself good and sufficient reason to make him wish to prove that no one in his Empire can do as much brain work as he can? |
17737 | Is there any one of those about him, or amongst his subjects, who can say where these ambitions will end? |
17737 | Is there not something astounding about the use of the possessive pronoun in connection with the word"august,"implying sovereignty? |
17737 | Let the effrontery of his lies return to him in bitterness?" |
17737 | May not the explanation of King Leopold''s journey be, that William II would like a mobilisation in Belgium just as he wants one in Italy? |
17737 | Moreover he had a stiff fight in the Parliament of the Empire with regard to the new relations with[ Transcriber''s note: which?] |
17737 | Now, what has the young King of Prussia done since his accession to the Throne? |
17737 | One would like to know where the war party in Russia can possibly be at the present moment? |
17737 | Pope, Emperor and King-- but does anybody suppose that this will satisfy him? |
17737 | Shall it be said that we failed those who rather than yield have suffered every form of torture? |
17737 | Surely that is simple enough? |
17737 | These people ask: How is it that_ your_ Emperor of Russia has delayed so long in expressing to us his condolence? |
17737 | Von Bismarck? |
17737 | Was not William I, King of Prussia, amiable enough? |
17737 | We have_ permitted_ them to become Germans, why then, should they refuse the privilege?" |
17737 | What change has there been in the situation since Kronstadt? |
17737 | What does Russia, so jealous for the Holy Places, think of the intrusion into them of the German Kaiser? |
17737 | What matters it that the Chinese will not resist, that they will fall prostrate before him? |
17737 | What more could he ask? |
17737 | What need is there for us to seek to reconcile Germany and Russia in China? |
17737 | What object had he in going there, and what has he attained? |
17737 | What say you, Parisians of the Siege, Frenchmen who have seen the Prussian conqueror dragging his guns and booty along the roads of our France? |
17737 | What say you, men of Alsace- Lorraine, heroes all? |
17737 | What say you, veteran soldiers, who fought in the Terrible Year? |
17737 | What then would have been the results had she paid us an official visit? |
17737 | What would be the cumulative effect of want of exercise at the end of a year? |
17737 | What would have been the good? |
17737 | What would one think of a creditor who allowed the debtor to persuade him that the debt no longer existed? |
17737 | What, then, is the good of all their talking at Münich? |
17737 | When shall we have a determined coalition against Germany? |
17737 | When will they have done, once and for all, with inscribing these cruel records of theirs in the golden book of Germany, and shut the clasp upon it? |
17737 | Who could fail to be roused to indignation by the display of German fanaticism which has taken place at Vienna? |
17737 | Who wanted our government to go there? |
17737 | Whom can he possibly hope to deceive? |
17737 | Why is it that William II wearies not in thus renewing his attempts at reconciliation with France? |
17737 | Why should we go to Kiel? |
17737 | Why was the King of Belgium in such a hurry? |
17737 | Why? |
17737 | Will Austria follow once more the lead of Berlin? |
17737 | Will Denmark, whom William II has had the audacity to invite, go to Kiel? |
17737 | Will Germany continue to become Prussianised or will she remain German? |
17737 | Will Germany yield, or will she resist the will of the Emperor thus clearly expressed? |
17737 | Will it ever be finished, this tale? |
17737 | Will this"new course"of Imperial policy, as they call it in Germany, last any longer than its predecessor? |
17737 | Would Italy have recovered Lombardy and Venice had she not unceasingly protested against the Austrian occupation? |
17737 | [ 10] What are the qualities which have distinguished the Government of Germany since the victories of Moltke? |
17737 | [ 11] May we not flatter ourselves that the torments of William II are now beginning? |
17737 | [ 16] But no, it can not be, for has he not been converted? |
17737 | [ 16] How can one avoid taking an interest in William II of Hohenzollern? |
2112 | And the Austrian Hapsburgs being out, do not the Spanish Hapsburgs come in? 2112 Are we to stand here like milestones, then, and be all shot without a stroke struck?" |
2112 | Battle lost,said Schwerin:"but what is the loss of a Battle to that of your Majesty''s own Person? |

2112 | That man is mad, your Most Christian Majesty? |
2112 | To deliver such Key? 2112 Walpole and Company, aware of that fact, do take some trouble about it; and now, may not we say, PAULLO MAJORA CANAMUS? |
2112 | Well; if it could be done,--and quite without trouble? |

2112 | --what Pope or body of Popes can sanction such a procedure? |

2112 | And it was some beggarly Attorney- Devil that built this sublunary world and us? |
2112 | And now the response to them is--? |
2112 | And sarcastic quizzing( especially if it be truth too), on certain female topics, what Improper Female, Czarina of All the Russias, could stand it? |
2112 | And there rose great argument, which is not yet quite ended, as to the question,"Original falsified, or Copy falsified?" |

2112 | Gotter has fulfilled his instructions in regard to this important little Document; and now the effect of it is--? |
2112 | Gotter''s Proposals,--would the reader wish to hear these Proposals, which were so intensely interesting at one time? |
2112 | How could"the times"continue talking of him? |
2112 | How she has got the funds is, to this day, a mystery;--unless George and Walpole, from their Secret- Service Moneys, have smuggled her somewhat? |
2112 | How the English Nation took it? |

2112 | If Friedrich had not business there, what man ever had in an enterprise he ventured on? |
2112 | If we but knew where the Enemy is; on which side of us; what doing, what intending? |
2112 | Iron ramrods against wooden; five shots to two: what is there but falling back? |
2112 | Is not, this a curious case of testamentary right; human greed obliterating personal identity itself? |
2112 | May be important, that,--who knows? |
2112 | Might perhaps be used in that way, by the Examining Military Boards, in Prussia and elsewhere, if no other use lie in it? |
2112 | Nevertheless, what new thing is this? |
2112 | Not he, but another who will suit France better:"Kur- Sachsen perhaps, the so- called King of Poland? |

2112 | O Louis, O my King, is not this an outlook? |
2112 | O soul of honor, O first Nation of the Universe, was there ever such a subterfuge? |
2112 | Of the actual transit to high mass, transit very visible in the Great Gallery or OEil- de- Boeuf, why should a human being now say anything? |
2112 | Or did Friedrich exaggerate to himself his Uncle''s real share in the matter? |
2112 | Or say it were Karl Albert Kur- Baiern, the hereditary friend and dependent of France? |
2112 | Or shall it be Spain''s for arrogant- torpid sham- devotional purposes, contradictory to every Law? |

2112 | The Jesuit- Priest kind are clear in their minds for Austria; but think, Perhaps Prussia itself will not prove very tyrannous? |
2112 | The King, and the few who had not yet broken down, arrive at the Gate of Oppeln, late, under cloud of night:"Who goes?" |
2112 | The first point to be noted is, Where did it originate? |
2112 | The question, How you buy? |
2112 | There are two claimants on the Milanese, then; the Spanish Termagant, and he? |
2112 | There is the Key lying: but to GIVE it-- You are not the Queen of Hungary''s Officer, I doubt?" |
2112 | These beautiful improvements, beautiful humanities,--were done by whom? |

2113 | --Can his Excellency Hyndford get Vienna, get Feldmarschall Reipperg with power from Vienna, to accept: Yes or No? |
2113 | --He concludes:"Have I need of Peace? |
2113 | ... That expression made him smile, and he began to look a little cooler....''Shall we apply to Vienna, your Majesty?'' |

2113 | A very strong resolution, they and the Gazetteers think it; and ask themselves, Is it not likely to have some effect? |
2113 | Above all, if Neipperg''s Army were to disengage itself, and be let loose into those parts? |
2113 | Am not I fortifying Brieg and Glogau? |
2113 | And for money? |
2113 | And from England, in about a fortnight, gets for answer,"Do harm, think you? |

2113 | And to me they can not spare a few trifling Principalities? |
2113 | Are we alarm- clocks, that need only to be wound up, and told at what hour, and for whom?] |
2113 | At all events, if asked: Where then is the specifical not"superstitious"WANT of"veracity"you ever found in Friedrich? |
2113 | Austria prefers your friendship; but if your Majesty disdain Austria''s advances, what is it to do? |
2113 | Being again urged, Why have not you performed? |
2113 | Besides, who would guarantee them?'' |
2113 | But how could she see to do it,--especially with little George at her back, and abundance of money? |
2113 | But now again, see, do not the dust- clouds pause? |
2113 | But what can sympathies avail? |
2113 | But will they? |
2113 | Certain enough, Peace with Friedrich is now on the way; and can not well linger:--what prospect has Austria otherwise? |
2113 | For if she is a Kaiser''s Daughter and Kaiser''s Spouse, am not I somewhat too? |
2113 | France will be contentable with something in the Netherlands; what else can she want of us? |
2113 | Friedrich, in astonishment and indignation, sends a messenger to Dresden:"Would the Polish Majesty BE''King of Moravia,''then, or not be?" |
2113 | Has not France guaranteed the Pragmatic Sanction; has not England? |
2113 | Have not they given whole Kingdoms to Spain? |
2113 | Have they ever got to his Majesty? |
2113 | Here is a successful young King; is not he? |
2113 | Here is the enormous jumbling of a World broken loose; boiling as in very chaos; asking of him, him more than any other,"How? |
2113 | How is it that you will not?" |
2113 | How keep our incognito, with all these people heaping civilities upon us? |
2113 | I asked, Where are those nine acres; what crop is now upon them? |
2113 | I have now joined with France; and to join against it in this manner? |
2113 | If the English would but get me a bargain--? |
2113 | If the Queen prosper, I shall-- perhaps I shall have no objection to join her by and by? |
2113 | In return for which his Prussian Majesty-- will do what? |

2113 | Is it not the one thing needful? |
2113 | Is not this the bulwark of your Prag just now?" |
2113 | It is really difficult to say what: Be a true ally and second to France in its grand German Adventure? |
2113 | Kaiser Ferdinand, Karl V.''s brother, on a Progress to Prag, came to lodge at Czaslau, one afternoon:"What is that?" |
2113 | Limburg? |

2113 | Old Uuddenbrock, surely, did not himself RIDE in the charge? |
2113 | Or suppose, we are beaten by him?'' |
2113 | Ought not Karl Albert to be upon the road again? |
2113 | Parings from that outskirt, what are these compared with Silesia, a horrid gash into the vital parts? |
2113 | Perhaps it is not true? |
2113 | Prince George of Hessen- Cassel, did readers ever hear of him before? |
2113 | QUOI, such a paltry scraping( BICOQUE) as that, for all my just claims in Silesia? |
2113 | Queen and Hofraths have been waiting in agony of suspense,"Will Friedrich bargain on those gentle terms, and help us with 100,000 men?" |
2113 | Retire out of Silesia, which has cost me so much treasure and blood in the conquest of it? |
2113 | Sends to Silesia, to Glatz and the Young Dessauer;--nay to Brandenburg and the Old Dessauer? |
2113 | Shall I be bought out of this country? |
2113 | Shall I have to join with the French, in despair of any?" |
2113 | So that he had soon quitted Mahren; made for Budweis and neighborhood:--dangerous to Broglio''s outposts there? |
2113 | Such Town Sovereign persecutes innocence, stops his ears to its cry; flourishes his sharp scourge;--no one shall complain: for is it not justice? |
2113 | Such is Robinson''s gloomy view: finished, he, and the game lost,--unless perhaps Hyndford could still do something? |
2113 | Support France, at least in its small Bavarian Anti- Austrian Adventure? |
2113 | Syndic Guzmar and the peccant Officials being summoned out to Strehlen, it had been asked of them,"Do you know this Letter?" |
2113 | The arm- chair( FAUTEUIL), is that to be denied me?" |
2113 | The rest-- the spiders are very welcome to it: who of mortals would read it, were it made never so lucid to him? |
2113 | The saving operation, Friedrich well sees, would be to get hold of Brunn: but, unluckily, How? |
2113 | To unravel cobwebs, and register laboriously and date and sort in the sorrow of your soul the oaths of crowned dicers,--what use is it to gods or men? |
2113 | Vehemently fought on both sides;--calculated, one may hope, to end this Silesian matter? |
2113 | Was there ever so contingent a Treaty before? |
2113 | What can the Town Major do; Prussian grenadiers, cannoneers, gravely environing him? |
2113 | What else is their purpose in Creation? |
2113 | What is his Britannic Majesty to do? |
2113 | What is the use to human creatures of recording all that melancholy stuff? |
2113 | What, How?" |
2113 | What?" |
2113 | Who minds or keeps guarantees in this age? |
2113 | Why do n''t you all fly to the Queen''s succor?''" |
2113 | Will even the King of Prussia himself be reserved to the last? |
2113 | Will he, like that DIVER of Schiller''s, have to try the feat a second time? |

2119 | A thousand times over, Schmettau must have asked himself,''Why was I in such a hurry? 2119 ACH KINDER, Alas, children, you are badly wounded, then?" |
2119 | And for me, what orders has Excellency? |
2119 | And now suddenly, on the Tuesday morning, What is this? 2119 And what is this one hears from Gohfeld in the evening? |
2119 | JA, your Majesty: but how goes the Battle? |

2119 | The King does not see his way, then, after all? |
2119 | The King of Prussia? |

2119 | What, from Rothe Vorwerk to Big Hollow, no passage, say you; no crossing? |
2119 | Why not in Nanci here? |
2119 | Will not Excellency Soltikof, who disdains idleness, go himself upon Silesia, upon Glogau for instance, and grant me a few days? |
2119 | Would not Dantzig by ourselves be the advisable thing? |
2119 | ''Fatherly? |
2119 | ''May not some of them belong to Polish Majesty?'' |
2119 | ''You?'' |
2119 | ''Your obstinate Town can be bombarded, then,--cannot it?'' |
2119 | ( Answer, evasive on this point):"Are you bandaged, though? |

2119 | A Siege of Colberg, however, there is actually to be: Second Siege,--if perhaps it will prove luckier than the First was, two years since? |
2119 | A very disappointing circumstance to Soltikof;"Austrian Junction still a problem, then; a thing in the air? |
2119 | ALDER Waste? |
2119 | About seven in the morning Maguire had his Messenger in Dresden,''Your Excellency''s Paper ready?'' |
2119 | After all, I am so used to treacheries and bad manoeuvres,"--what matters this insignificant one? |
2119 | And first of all, concerning the enigma"What is Luc?" |
2119 | And if not, what becomes of you? |
2119 | And who, in the interim, will watch Daun and his enterprises? |
2119 | And with regard to the requisition of proviant, they answered in a scornful angry key,''Proviant? |
2119 | At once thither;--and leave Glogau and the Russians to their luck,--which in such case, what is it like to be? |
2119 | Beautifully written too, says Retzow; but what, in the eyes of this King, is beautiful writing, to knowing your business well? |
2119 | But again, did not his Majesty expect, do not these words"a bout"still seem to expect, a bit of fighting with somebody or other? |
2119 | But can English readers consent to halt in this hot pinch of the Friedrich crisis; and read the briefest thing which is foreign to it? |
2119 | But in the northwest part, those Fincks and Wunsches, Excellenz?" |
2119 | But it must have been an interesting discovery to Daun, if he foreshadowed to himself what results it would have on him:"Taking the defensive, then? |
2119 | Continue that, and what becomes of Soltikof and me? |
2119 | Daun has a horror at weakening himself to that extent; but what can he do? |
2119 | Daun is off from Triebel Country to this dangerous scene; indignantly cashiers Deville,''Why did not you attack these Ziethen people? |
2119 | Did, all that Monday, his best to prepare himself; called in his outposts("Was not I ordered?" |
2119 | Does it depend on me? |
2119 | Et qu''auraient- ils a craindre en se revoltant?... |
2119 | Finck had not a gun or a man in it:"Had not I order?" |
2119 | Friedrich had observed his fiery ways on the day of Leuthen:"Hah, a new Winterfeld perhaps?" |
2119 | Friedrich takes the road for Guben; reaches Markersdorf( twenty miles''march, still seven or eight from Guben); falls upon-- What phenomenon is this? |
2119 | From Triebel he sends the news at gallop to Lieberose and Soltikof:"Rejoice with us, Excellenz: did not I predict it? |
2119 | Had not you 10,000, Sir?'' |
2119 | Has not Daun good reason now to be proud of the cunctatory method? |
2119 | Have you been let blood?" |
2119 | He has now no Winterfeld, Schwerin, no Keith, Retzow, Moritz:--whom has he? |
2119 | He makes charming verses, in times when another could not write a line of prose; he deserves to be happy: but will he be so? |
2119 | He was of that sad Zittau business of the late Prince of Prussia''s,--Goltz, Winterfeld, Ziethen, Schmettau and others? |
2119 | Hear the stiff Answer that comes:"''Conditions of Peace,''do you call them? |
2119 | How can Daun, if himself merely speculative, calculative, hope that Soltikof will continue acting? |
2119 | I grieve to resemble Cassandra with my prophecies; but how augur well of the desperate situation we are in, and which goes on growing worse? |
2119 | I will forget who took Peitz: perhaps Haddick, of whom we have lately heard so much? |
2119 | I, can I join myself to that set? |
2119 | IS HE STILL IN BERLIN; OR WHERE IN THE UNIVERSE IS HE? |
2119 | If he run to save Hanover from Broglio, he loses Westphalia: Osnabruck( his magazine)? |
2119 | If they will stand fight? |
2119 | In his place one might have, at least, shot out a spy or two? |
2119 | In the hope probably of finding something of human provender withal? |
2119 | Into the Night; men and goods, every item:--who shall say whitherward? |
2119 | Is it to be a mere fighting for meal? |
2119 | Maupertuis, say you? |
2119 | Meal? |
2119 | Monsieur, my ammunition is in Posen; my bread is fallen scarce; in Frankfurt can you find me one horse more?'' |
2119 | Or of what use was it anywhere? |
2119 | Or will not he perhaps go, of himself, when the rough weather comes?''" |
2119 | Or would readers care to glance into the very fact with their own eyes? |
2119 | Our Court will cheerfully furnish money, instead of meal."--"Money? |
2119 | Possibly a high career lying ahead;--a man that may be very valuable to Friedrich, who has now so few such left? |
2119 | Provisions of meal? |

2119 | Reflect that even Kings make peace after long battling; can not you ever make it? |
2119 | Renounced thoughts of Italy:''Europe bleeding, and especially France and Prussia, how go idly touring?'' |
2119 | Serene Highness gets on horseback; but what can that help? |
2119 | Shall he manoeuvre himself out, and march away, bread- carts, baggages and all entire? |
2119 | Soltikof understands the congratulations very well; but as to that of trampling out, snorts an indignant negative:''Nay, you, why do n''t you try it? |
2119 | That is Retzow''s notion: who knows but there may be truth in it? |
2119 | The case is critical; especially this Haddick- Loudon part of it: add 30 or 36,000 Austrians to Soltikof, how is he then to be dealt with? |
2119 | The poor Fortress of Peitz was taken again;--do readers remember it,"on the day of Zorndorf,"last year? |
2119 | There is such a thing as being too cunctatory, is not there, your Excellency? |
2119 | They say Prince Henri took the liberty of counselling him, even of entreating him:"Leave well alone; why run risks?" |
2119 | To the disgust of Serene Highness:''Which of you did stand, then? |
2119 | Too close? |
2119 | Uncertain still what it is,--if not the Austrians altogether? |
2119 | Upon which there is a Surgeon instantly brought; reprimanded for neglect:"Desperate, say you? |

2119 | What on earth can this be? |
2119 | What the LUC in Voltaire is? |
2119 | What, this beautiful, what, this grand genius, Whom I admired with transport, Soils himself with calumny, and is ferocious on the dead? |
2119 | Which indeed the soldier who would know his business--(and not knowing it, is not he of all solecisms in this world the most flagrant?) |
2119 | Why Schmettau did not shoot forth a spy or two, to ascertain for him What, or whether Nothing whatever, was passing outside Dresden? |
2119 | Why does n''t Ferdinand cross Weser, re- cross Weser; coerce Broglio back; and save Hanover? |
2119 | Will not Austria vindicate its claim? |
2119 | With his own eyes he sees Reichsfolk marching, in quantity, southeastward by the Elbe shore:"Intending towards Dohna, as is like?" |
2119 | Yes, to Glogau possibly enough,"thinks Daun:"Or may not he, cunning as he is and full of feints, intend a stroke on Bautzen, in my absence?" |
2119 | You too without it? |
2119 | ]): but both are of one mind; both are on one problem,"What is to be done with that impassable dike?" |
2119 | a Prag, a Kolin, Leuthen, Rossbach;--must there still be others, then, to the misery of poor mankind?" |
2119 | inquires he of Captain Sydow, who is on guard at the Prussian end;"How dared you make this change, without acquainting the Second in Command? |
2119 | not close enough?'' |
2119 | not far enough? |
2119 | thinks Contades( as Ferdinand wished him to do):''Is our skilful enemy, in this extreme embarrassment, losing head, then? |
2119 | thinks Daun:"You, Zweibruck, Haddick, Maguire and Company, you are 36,000 in Saxony; Finck has not 12,000 in the field: How is this?" |
2119 | thinks Wedell:"Can not we burst in on their flank, as they march yonder, those awkward fellows; and tumble them into heaps?" |
36412 | ''A break up of the empire by force?'' |
36412 | ''Ah, Monsieur le Ministre,''answered one of his staff,''how can he speak of that, with the German Minister, Mr. Waldhausen, so near us? |

36412 | ''You have black nurses,''Her Majesty said to me;''why are your people, especially in the South, not more kind to their race?'' |
36412 | ''You would, then, like to see the German Emperor more democratic-- a President, like ours, only hereditary, governing quasi- independent States?'' |
36412 | A pledge on the part of England that Denmark would be protected both against Germany and Russia? |
36412 | Against England? |
36412 | Against Russia? |
36412 | And German world dominion? |
36412 | And the Federal Council, what chance has it against the will of our emperor? |
36412 | And what have the people to do with the Federal Council? |
36412 | And why? |
36412 | Anti- German? |
36412 | As for diplomacy, what had it to do with the fate of the little nations? |
36412 | At least, for the first time, the red light was lit,--who cared for a second time? |
36412 | Before the king could ask a question, Sir Alan Johnstone cut in, just behind me,''From whom did you hear it?'' |
36412 | Besides, were there not other powers who might find it to their advantage to prevent the Danish West Indies from falling into our hands? |
36412 | But how did this man know of it? |
36412 | But there was and is one old query which all Denmark never forgets to ask: Will Danish Slesvig come back to its motherland? |
36412 | But this is your first post in Europe?'' |
36412 | But war? |
36412 | Can it be? |
36412 | Can the Reichstag appoint a chancellor? |
36412 | Do you believe for a moment that the ultra- Bismarckian policy which controls Germany will consider you anything but a pawn in the diplomatic game? |
36412 | Do you think Bernstorff has been chosen to dance cotillions with your''cave dwellers''in Washington or to compliment Senators''wives? |
36412 | Do you think that it was an easy thing for a proud people to be in the position of old King Canute before the advancing ocean? |
36412 | Does Mr. Brun, the Danish Minister, fear a political crisis in his own country? |
36412 | First, I must eat my breakfast, you can jump your horses over my logs; why not? |
36412 | Have these qualities developed only since the war? |
36412 | Having recommended one of his charities, I was asked by a very benevolent Dane:''Are the Methodists really Christians in America?'' |
36412 | How can you say it? |
36412 | How could a national Church remain national and become English?'' |
36412 | How could we discover what Germany''s intentions were? |
36412 | How long would Germany be satisfied with the English and Russian predominance? |
36412 | How were we to be sure that the Baltic and the North Sea might not, under German tutelage, attract her? |
36412 | I said,''Excellency, will you sell your West Indian Islands?'' |
36412 | If we are to have a Secretary of Education in the cabinet of the future, why not a Secretary of the Press? |
36412 | Is that it?'' |
36412 | Is this your opinion?'' |
36412 | It constantly asked me: What is your Government thinking about? |
36412 | It was an arrangement, offensive and defensive, against Japan? |
36412 | Many times before the English and Russian ships left the Sound, the question, What will the Germans do now? |
36412 | May I have a few words with you?'' |
36412 | My secretary whispered,--''Another spy? |
36412 | Or was it an intimation to Germany that England and Russia had their eyes on Germany? |
36412 | Shall French ungodliness, shall Russian superstition, shall English hypocrisy rule the world? |
36412 | Shall I pump him?'' |
36412 | Shall we build ships and keep a large army and erect fortresses, or simply say''Kismet''when Germany comes? |
36412 | Some of the Danes asked''did it mean a protest against the presumed alliance between the United States and Germany? |
36412 | The American can seldom shirk the direct question:''Is this your first post?'' |
36412 | The German propaganda? |
36412 | The United States would cede the Philippines to Germany, to save those islands from the Yellow Peril? |
36412 | The United States, where so many Scandinavians had found a home, what of her? |
36412 | The great question for the Danish Government was as usual: Shall we defend ourselves? |
36412 | The intentions of the Kaiser? |
36412 | The most awkward question constantly put to me at Court and in society was,''But why do you lynch the black men?'' |
36412 | The same formula was used until the_ chargés d''affaires_, who always ended the list, were reached:''How long have you been in Copenhagen?'' |
36412 | The vicegerent of the Teutonic God? |
36412 | To my mind there were three questions of great importance for us: How could we, with self- respect, keep on good terms with Russia? |
36412 | Was an alliance to be made between the two great nations? |
36412 | Was it a threat? |
36412 | Was not science doing wonderful things? |
36412 | Was this a similar case? |
36412 | Was this jocose? |
36412 | Were we afraid of the Kaiser? |
36412 | What can a man from one of your provincial towns know of anything but local politics and business?'' |
36412 | What can one make of this bigotry and Phariseeism? |
36412 | What could be more pacific? |
36412 | What did it mean? |
36412 | What did the visit of the squadron to Kiel mean? |
36412 | What else could they do? |
36412 | What have you to do with the Teuton and Slavic quarrel? |
36412 | What matter? |
36412 | What more did she want? |
36412 | What of him?'' |
36412 | What were the German military plans? |
36412 | What were the social conditions in Germany? |
36412 | What would become of our Monroe Doctrine?'' |
36412 | What, in the Twentieth Century?--the best of all possible centuries? |
36412 | When would the Germans attack? |
36412 | Where did England come in? |
36412 | Who cares whether Bulgaria respects us or not? |
36412 | Who has a larger audience than Münsterberg? |
36412 | Why do not the Christian Germans protest? |
36412 | Why do you enter it? |
36412 | Why not one of our imperial sons for the crude Republic which had helped Mexico in the old, blind days to eject Maximilian? |
36412 | Why not? |
36412 | Why? |
36412 | Why?'' |
36412 | Will the President''s preoccupations prevent him from considering the question of the purchase? |
36412 | Will they disappear after the war? |
36412 | Would I sound His Royal Highness? |
36412 | Would you believe it? |
36412 | You know his_ Life_?'' |
36412 | You will give me a day or two?'' |
36412 | _ Is n''t_ he charming?'' |
2115 | ''Well, and if they did, they? 2115 A few days before her death,--perhaps some attendant sorrowfully asking,''Can we do nothing, then?'' |
2115 | An invasion of Bohemia, will not that astonish Prince Karl; and bring him to his Rhine- Bridges again? 2115 Are the Saxons enemies; are they friends? |
2115 | But how, then,persists Valori;"but--?" |
2115 | By what points the Austrian- Saxon Armament will come through upon us? 2115 Insulting; how, your Excellency?" |
2115 | Intending to block us out from Schatzlar? 2115 King of Poland, thinks your Majesty?" |
2115 | Let the King of France crown his glories by the Siege of Freyburg, the conquest of Brisgau:--for behoof of the poor Kaiser, do n''t you observe? 2115 Rapidity is indispensable,--and yet how quit Tabor? |
2115 | Sire, will not you dispute the Passes, then? |
2115 | WAS THUTS? 2115 Well; but why not attack, then, with your ferocity?" |
2115 | ''And we can not pass through this moor skirt of Lausitz, say you, then?'' |
2115 | ''If now Stockstadt were suddenly snatched by us,''thinks Karl;--''if a few pontoons were nimbly swung in?'' |
2115 | ''Prisoner, are not you?'' |
2115 | ''Push to the left, over the Hochwald top, must not we?'' |
2115 | ''QUE VOULEZ- VOUS DONC?'' |
2115 | ''Seckendorf, increased in this munificent manner, can he still do nothing?'' |
2115 | ''What share?'' |
2115 | ''Who ever saw such positions, your Majesty?'' |
2115 | --''And us at the gates of Vienna,''answered I promptly,''with the same indifference?'' |
2115 | --On hearing of the Peace of Fussen, perhaps a day or so later, Friedrich again writes:--"APRIL[ no distinct date; Neisse still? |
2115 | --So that there is not the least prospect of peace here? |
2115 | --and even gets into FROIDES PLAISANTERIES:''Perhaps the Marechal did it himself? |
2115 | --and questions arise innumerable thereupon, Will France go into electioneering again? |
2115 | ... Peace of Fussen, Bavaria turned against me? |
2115 | 169("Your illustrious''Column,''at Fontenoy? |
2115 | 248 n.] What"that May Eleventh"is or was? |
2115 | A winter march of 150 miles;--but what, say the spies, is to hinder? |
2115 | A young Countess Flemming( daughter of old Feldmarschall Flemming) doubtless there might be, who presented him a flute; but as to HIS FIRST flute--? |
2115 | Aback, too indisputably, all!--"And Belleisle''s Accident?" |
2115 | After which fine feat, salvatory to the Cause of Liberty, and destructive to French influence, what is to prevent his election to the Kaisership? |
2115 | Alas, we are to stand a fourth siege, then? |
2115 | And little Bruhl''s late insolence; Bruhl''s evident belief that"we are finished( AUX ABOIS)"? |
2115 | And of the JENKINS''S- EAR question, generous England will say nothing? |
2115 | And that is the good we have got of the sublime Austrian Alliance; and that is the pass our grand scheme of Partitioning Prussia has come to? |
2115 | And we must now say, Silesia or Prag? |
2115 | Are not we conquering Hither Austria here, for the Kaiser''s behoof?" |
2115 | Are we never to have any good of our life, then( NE DOIS- JE DONC JAMAIS JOUIR)? |
2115 | At nine, Bruhl himself arrives, for Privy Council:''What is your Majesty pleased to think on these points of current business?'' |
2115 | At the first gleam of dawn, as they are shoving down their pontoon boats, there comes a"WER- DA, Who goes?" |
2115 | August the Strong, where is he; and his famous Three Hundred and Fifty- four, Enchantress Orzelska and the others, where are they? |
2115 | Better be vigilant, Prince Leopold!--Grune, lying at Gera yonder, is not intending for Prince Karl, then? |
2115 | Britannic George, though Purseholder, what is his success here? |
2115 | But what help? |
2115 | But what shall we say? |
2115 | But where are provisions to be had? |
2115 | But, after all, what could Seckendorf do? |
2115 | Coming to take us on the right flank here; to attack our Camp by surprise: will crush us northward through the defiles, and trample us down in detail? |
2115 | Consider farther: the Imperial dignity, is it compatible with the fatal deprivation of Silesia? |
2115 | Could not one, by good methods, make friends with his Polish Majesty?" |
2115 | Does not England love the Cause of Liberty? |
2115 | Duchy of Glogau; some small paring of Silesia, wo n''t your Majesty?'' |
2115 | For the rest, the Bavarian question; and very specially, Who the new Emperor is to be? |
2115 | Forward; steady: can I doubt but you will acquit yourselves like Prussian men?" |
2115 | French sitting well on Prince Karl''s skirts? |
2115 | Friedrich has still his hopes of Bavaria, so grandiloquent are the French in regard to it; who but would hope? |
2115 | Had the Saxons stood still, steadily handling arms, how, on such terms, could the Prussians ever have managed it? |
2115 | Had your Majesty forgotten the Joint- Stock Principle, then? |
2115 | Has not England money, then? |
2115 | His battle- lines torn in two in that manner, hovering in ragged clouds over the field, what hope is there in the Battle? |
2115 | His speech seemed very like that of an Irishman; very sly[ how did you know, my poor friend? |
2115 | How shall he make some impression on the Siege of Tournay? |
2115 | How to smooth the King of Prussia, and turn him to harmony again? |
2115 | How we are to maintain ourselves in this country? |
2115 | If old Marshal Wade, at the other end of the line, should chance to awaken and press home on Saxe, and his remnant of French, with right vigor? |
2115 | If we stay near Prag, what becomes of our communication with Silesia; what becomes of Silesia itself? |
2115 | Is he entitled to exchange by cartel, or not entitled?'' |
2115 | Is not this a bit of modern chivalry? |
2115 | Is not this the Kaiser''s Order? |
2115 | Kur- Sachsen, the Polish Majesty again? |
2115 | Meaning what? |
2115 | Means to cut us off from Prag, then, which is our fountain of life in these circumstances? |
2115 | On Thursday, 3d June: Do you notice that cloud of dust rising among the peaks over yonder? |
2115 | On the morrow, 5 A.M., what is this that is going on? |
2115 | Or perhaps the fatal alternative will not actually arrive? |
2115 | Or some- whither to find fat winter- quarters: who knows? |
2115 | Or will they perhaps make an attempt on Prag? |
2115 | Or will they retreat without attempting mischief? |
2115 | Or, better still, Would not perhaps the Saxons, in this humiliated state, accept Peace, and finish the matter? |
2115 | Peace with George the Purseholder, does not that mean Peace with all the others? |
2115 | Peace with Prussia, what good could it do at present?'' |
2115 | Perhaps nothing will follow; next to nothing? |
2115 | Poor old Wade, last year,--perhaps Wade did suffer, as he alleged, from"want of sufficient authority in that mixed Army"? |
2115 | Prince Karl, you would certainly say, has gone into winter- quarters; about Konigsgratz, and farther on? |
2115 | Question now is, How will it stand with the Old Dessauer and his part? |
2115 | Reinstated Chateauroux: but this time, poor creature, she continued only about a day:--"Sudden fever, from excitement,"said the Doctors:"Fever? |
2115 | Reverence, sacred Respect for Human Worth, sacred Abhorrence of Human Unworth, have you considered what it means? |
2115 | Robinson and the English seem not to be enthusiastic in that direction; as indeed how can they? |
2115 | SAME LETTER, OR ANOTHER? |
2115 | Saxons from the Lausitz, Austrians from Bohmen, enclosing us between two fires?" |
2115 | Silesia and no afterthought? |
2115 | Silesia, which was NOT yours nor ever shall be? |
2115 | So long as Pardubitz and Kolin hold; and we have the Elbe for barrier? |
2115 | Such is the rumor,--perhaps only a rumor, in mockery of the hebetated old gentleman fallen unlucky? |
2115 | Surely, Monseigneur, only a man ignorant of war, or with treasonous intention[ or ill- off for victuals],--could post troops in that way? |
2115 | Tallard, prisoner after Blenheim, made PEACE, you know, in England?'' |
2115 | That famed Middle- Rhine Army has gone to the-- what shall we say? |
2115 | That second plan would have been the wisest:--then why not, follow it? |
2115 | The Sazawa- Luschnitz tract of Country is quite lost, then; lost with damages: the question now is, Can we keep the Sazawa- Elbe tract? |
2115 | The question now is, Will Saxony assist Austria in invading Silesia, with or without Britannic subsidy? |
2115 | The traitor Seckendorf had made such a choice of posts,--left unaltered by Drum Thorring;--what could French valor do? |
2115 | Then perhaps towards Saxony, to reinforce the Saxons? |
2115 | This also is a thing to be amended, a thing you had to learn, your Majesty? |
2115 | This will do, wo n''t it?" |
2115 | Three Currents instinct with fire and destruction, but as yet quite opaque; which have been launched,--whitherward thinks the reader? |
2115 | To leave them to the Tolpaches? |
2115 | To winter in these towns between the Sazawa and the Luschnitz? |
2115 | To- morrow;--well, to- morrow? |
2115 | Together will it be, or separately? |
2115 | Valori sees the King; finds him, as expected, the fac- simile of Bruhl in this matter; Jesuit Guarini the like: how otherwise? |
2115 | Valori, horror- struck at such Peace, what shall he do to prevent it, to retard it? |
2115 | Valori, so seldom spoken to, is lodged in a suburb there:''Had not you better go into the town itself?'' |
2115 | Very dear to the hearts of these poor people;--and to their purses, interests and skins, has not he in another sense been dear? |
2115 | Was that our bargain?'' |
2115 | What are we, poor human atoms, to get up projects that cost so much blood? |
2115 | What can Valori expect, on this heroic occasion, from such a King? |
2115 | What had become of us pacific? |
2115 | What to do? |
2115 | What will France do with HIM; what he with France? |
2115 | What will become of poor pacific mortals hereabouts? |
2115 | White flag accordingly( Tuesday, 15th):"Free withdrawal, to the Wischerad; wo n''t you?" |
2115 | Whom can the French try as Candidate against the Grand- Duke? |
2115 | Why Populations suffer for their guilty Kings? |
2115 | Why not? |
2115 | With Austria, with Saxony, Britannic Majesty has been entirely unsuccessful:--"May not Sohr, perhaps, be a fresh persuasive?" |
2115 | With a Konigseck to dry- nurse him, may not Royal Highness, luck favoring, do very well? |
2115 | Would you have a Nation live forever that is content to be governed by Bruhls? |
2115 | You will let him keep his own henceforth, then, will you? |
2115 | [ MILITARY INSTRUCTIONS? |
2115 | asks Valori, amazed:"Not defend your Mountain rampart, then?" |
2115 | thinks Friedrich sadly to himself: but what is Prag and artillery, compared to Silesia? |
2115 | with that hill, that brook, that bit of bog?'' |
36820 | An''what_ can_ I do? |
36820 | And the Brahman Adhar? |
36820 | And what for, then? |
36820 | And what have ye in the house, Biddy, honey? |
36820 | And where''s the man of the house? 36820 And will I see him again?" |
36820 | But what''s come of Barny? 36820 For what,"thought he,"have I sold myself? |
36820 | He knows all, then? |
36820 | In troth, then, my heart is sorry for ye, poor woman,he replied, compassionately;"and what will ye do?" |
36820 | Is he your husband? |
36820 | Musha, then, have ye nothing to give a poor ould woman? |
36820 | My child,said she, in a tone of reproof,"dost thou yet linger here, and the auspicious moment almost past? |
36820 | What is it then ails ye? |
36820 | Where are they, is it? 36820 Yes, sir,"says I, making a curtsy, for I could n''t do no less when he spoke so civil; and says he,"Is there an honest cobbler as lives here?" |
36820 | _ Dead?_ O merciful Allah! 36820 (_ Gives them._) MARGERY--(_examining the shoes._) But, Dick, is n''t that some''at extortionate, as a body may say? 36820 (_ He works with great energy, and sings at the same time with equal enthusiasm._) Can not ye do as I do? 36820 (_ She goes out._) DICK--(_calling after her._) And come back soon, d''ye hear? 36820 (_ She shakes her head._) What, you wo n''t then? 36820 (_ She whispers JUSTINE, who goes out._)(_ To DICK._) Can I do any thing to serve you? 36820 --he grasped her supplicating hands,--say but the word-- are you a wife?" |
36820 | A lady? |
36820 | A noise, eh? |
36820 | And folks says to me,"Pray, who is that pretty modest young woman as hops over the ground as light as a feather?" |
36820 | And his answer was, that he would sing in spite of me, and louder than ever? |
36820 | And now, what shall I say more? |
36820 | And says he,"Do you belong to this here house?" |
36820 | And where''s the lad, Barny?" |
36820 | And why should it_ not_ be so? |
36820 | And you are happy? |
36820 | Ay, I seed her; and a most beautiful lady she is, and she sends her sarvice to you? |
36820 | Ay, Meg, but I''ll keep this, do ye mind? |
36820 | But suppose I have n''t got it? |
36820 | But we''ve never done no harm to nobody in our whole lives, so what is there to be afraid of? |
36820 | But what matter for that?" |
36820 | But what''s the matter? |
36820 | But what, Dick? |
36820 | But while Sarma was thus absorbed in holy abstraction, where were Govinda and Amrà ? |
36820 | Can not ye do as I do? |
36820 | Comment donc-- ce Monsieur Dick, fait aussi des complimens à Madame? |
36820 | DICK--(_chinks the money._) Do ye hear that? |
36820 | DICK--(_hesitating._) But-- a-- a-- Meg, you''ll come with me, wo n''t you, and just see me safe in at the door, eh? |
36820 | DICK--(_scratching his head._) What shilling? |
36820 | Did ever any human being escape more_ intacte_ in person and mind from the fiery furnace of popular admiration? |
36820 | Did you see the lady herself? |
36820 | Faithfully did she perform the part in life which she believed allotted to her; and who may presume to judge that she did not choose the better part?" |
36820 | For what is the word of the Great King pledged to me? |
36820 | Halloran, who was of a fiery and hasty temper, began angrily:"Why, then, in the name of the great devil himself, did n''t you open to us?" |
36820 | Hang it, who''s afraid? |
36820 | Has he not sworn to refuse me nothing? |
36820 | Has the most high God confined the knowledge of his attributes to the Brahmans alone, and hidden his face from the rest of his creatures? |
36820 | Have they sent for him? |
36820 | How shall we manage then? |
36820 | I must go to market--(_putting on her shawl and bonnet._) What would you like to have for dinner, Dick, love? |
36820 | I''m sure I''m much obliged-- but what did she say to you? |
36820 | If ever there were beauty, which could disdain the aid of ornament, is it not that of Amrà ? |
36820 | If ever there were purity, truth, and goodness, which could defy the powers of evil, are they not thine? |
36820 | Is it not so?" |
36820 | Is there nothing in all this to countervail the dangers, the evils, and the vicissitudes attendant on this splendid and public exercise of talent? |
36820 | It ca n''t cost your ladyship much in shoe leather, I guess? |
36820 | It was the peculiar manner with which she uttered the words--"Are you at leisure, holy father, now? |
36820 | JUSTINE--(_goes and returns._) Madame, c''est justement notre homme, voulez- vous qu''il entre? |
36820 | Justine, did you send the butler over to request civilly that he would not disturb me in the morning? |
36820 | LADY AMARANTHE--(_graciously._) Are you married? |
36820 | LADY AMARANTHE--(_surprised._) Then you did not tell my servant that you would sing louder than ever, in spite of me? |
36820 | LADY AMARANTHE--(_with increasing interest._) Have you any children? |
36820 | MARGERY--(_passionately._) Why, if you come to that, who''s the mistress here, I say? |
36820 | MARGERY--(_timidly._) Five shillings, perhaps, eh? |
36820 | MARGERY--(_whimpering._) Oh, Dick, what in the world has come to you? |
36820 | MARGERY--(_wiping her eyes._) And did you see the lady? |
36820 | Me repent? |
36820 | Me, my Lady? |
36820 | Now I think seven- pence would be enough in all conscience-- what do you say? |
36820 | Now what are the bravos of a whole theatre,"When all the thunder of the pit ascends,"compared to such praise as this? |
36820 | Of what, Dick? |
36820 | Or shall I come to you at evening mass?" |
36820 | Perhaps you are not the same Mr. Dick? |
36820 | Robbed of what? |
36820 | Shall I live to look upon a race of outcasts, abhorred on earth and excommunicate from heaven, and say,''These are the offspring of Sarma?'' |
36820 | Shall I take it back to the lady, and give our duty to her, and tell her we do n''t want her guineas, shall I, Meg? |
36820 | Shall the young spirit"dampt by the necessity of oblivion"disdain what is attainable because it can not grasp all? |
36820 | So says I,"Hark''ee, Mr. Scrape- trencher, there go words to that bargain: what right have you to go for to speak in that there way to me?" |
36820 | Stay; you are not then the rude uncivil person I was told of? |
36820 | The first represents the action which accompanied the line--"By whose direction found''st thou out this place?" |
36820 | The grip of hunger''s hard to bear; and if she had n''t taken it then, where would I have been now? |
36820 | The scene in which the lovers part, called the Garden Scene, follows; and the passage selected is--"Art thou gone so? |
36820 | The sons of Brahma are excellently virtuous, but are all the rest of mankind vicious? |
36820 | This is strange; or is there some mistake? |
36820 | Was she, while absorbed in her poetical, ideal existence, the dupe of exterior shows in judging of character? |
36820 | Well, and then? |
36820 | What noise is that? |
36820 | What shall we do? |
36820 | What the mischief can a lady want with me? |
36820 | What to him were the stars, or the flowers, or the moon rising in dewy splendour? |
36820 | What''s the matter? |
36820 | What, to waste it all in woman''s nonsense and frippery? |
36820 | Where should they be? |
36820 | Where, then, is his justice? |
36820 | Why then should Govinda be sad?" |
36820 | Why, Meg, I did n''t hurt you, did I? |
36820 | Why, where''s the use of money but to spend? |
36820 | Will you go to bed, sweetheart? |
36820 | Wilt thou see me perish without pity, O son of my people? |
36820 | Wo n''t you forgive your own dear Dick, wo n''t you? |
36820 | Would you love me better, Meg, if I were a master shoemaker? |
36820 | You know all, and have come to save me-- to bless me? |
36820 | You live in the small house over the way, I think? |
36820 | You love her then? |
36820 | a nice rasher of bacon, by way of a relish? |
36820 | and I hesitate? |
36820 | and how do you live? |
36820 | and is there no place hereby where they would give a potatoe and a cup of cowld water to a poor old woman ready to drop on her road?" |
36820 | and more, did n''t she take the bit out of her own mouth to put into mine?" |
36820 | and so no more talk of dying; cheer up, and see, a mile farther on, is n''t there Biddy Hogan''s? |
36820 | and turn up your nose like Mrs. Pinchtoe? |
36820 | and what for, pray? |
36820 | and who knows, Nancy dear, but they''ll let me go out with him to the foreign parts? |
36820 | comme il sent le cuir, n''est- ce pas, madame? |
36820 | do ye mind Grace Power, and the last words ever she spoke to ye?" |
36820 | flummery!--But, Meg, I say, how did you like the wedding yesterday? |
36820 | he exclaimed,"what is now to be my fate? |
36820 | he said, after a breathless pause;"when? |
36820 | how would you feed them? |
36820 | keep it all to yourself?--No, you wo n''t; an''t I your wife, and have n''t I a right? |
36820 | my love, my lord, my friend? |
36820 | replied Cathleen, disconsolately;"and how will I even find the ford and get across to Cork, when I do n''t know where I am this blessed moment?" |
36820 | said he at length;"is it thus our imperial decrees are obeyed?" |
36820 | shall I, dear heart? |
36820 | shall I? |
36820 | shall we be braved on our throne by these insolent and contumacious priests? |
36820 | that was the reason, then, that you bawled so in my ear, and frightened me out of my sleep-- was it? |
36820 | the chief pain? |
36820 | the dearest pleasure? |
36820 | the greatest wickedness? |
36820 | the highest good? |
36820 | the severest punishment? |
36820 | thundered the monk:"will ye suffer this woman to steal two precious souls from heaven?--two members from our community? |
36820 | to whom? |
36820 | what a fine purse!--Is there any thing in it? |
36820 | what are they in such a moment? |
36820 | what did they say to you? |
36820 | what have I to do with thee? |
36820 | what''s the matter now? |
36820 | what_ can_ a lady have to say to me, I wonder? |
36820 | where have you been? |
36820 | where his all- embracing mercy?" |
36820 | who cares? |
36820 | who could help it? |
36820 | who did you see? |
36820 | who is the possessor of a gem of such exceeding price, and yet forbears to claim it?" |
36820 | who knows? |
36820 | whom dost thou behold?" |
36820 | why do n''t you speak to me, Dick, love? |
36820 | why do n''t you speak? |
36820 | you do n''t mean for to say that the last shilling that you put in your pocket, just to make a show, is gone? |
36820 | you do not mean to say you wish for them, and have scarce enough for yourselves? |
36820 | you will?--You sha n''t; who''s the master here, I say? |
36818 | And what,I asked,"did the Empress say to you?" |
36818 | And what,said I,"was your answer?" |
36818 | Did you ever feel fear? |
36818 | Do you ask for bread? |
36818 | Do you call it a fine country? |
36818 | Do you not see my brother standing there? |
36818 | Qui me delivrera des Grecs et des Remains? |
36818 | To be sure I do; and where would you see a finer? |
36818 | Who are you? |
36818 | Yes,she replied;"you are his excellency the minister C----; but what of that? |
36818 | _ No._Did she regard Henri as her affianced husband? |
36818 | _ Yes._Was she a Christian? |
36818 | --who will deliver me from gods and goddesses, and from all these"Repetitions, wearisome of sense, Where soul is dead, and feeling hath no place?" |
36818 | According to his distinction, would not the group of the Niobe belong to the age of perfection?--and the Parthenon to the philosophic age? |
36818 | After all this eulogium, which I believe to be just, tell me frankly, were you satisfied yourself? |
36818 | Alone? |
36818 | And does this prohibition avail much in a population of sixty thousand persons? |
36818 | And has it not? |
36818 | And have none of these motives produced authoresses in Germany? |
36818 | And how shall I attempt to describe it? |
36818 | And learned to be homely-- but the result? |
36818 | And so we are to have no"_ Sentimental Travels in Germany_"on hot- pressed paper, illustrated with views taken on the spot? |
36818 | And who was to blame? |
36818 | And why should we not have in sculpture a Lear as well as a Laocoon? |
36818 | And,"lilies that fester are far worse than weeds,"so singeth the poet; but do you make the cause also the excuse? |
36818 | Are you any relation of the Professor Henri Ambos?'' |
36818 | Art may be finite; but who shall fix its limits, and say,"thus far shalt thou go?" |
36818 | But do you think the Germans could at all appreciate or understand such a phenomenon as Madame de Staël must have appeared in those days? |
36818 | But have you then traced the cause and consequences of that undercurrent of opinion which is slowly but surely sapping the foundations of empires? |
36818 | But how is the sculptor himself to live during those long years? |
36818 | But is that all? |
36818 | But the hospital for the infirm poor-- Das Versorgung Haus-- pleased me particularly;''tis true, that the cost was not a third-- what do I say? |
36818 | But then what had brought her there? |
36818 | But what were your own impressions? |
36818 | But what, then, is the secret of the interest which these old painters inspire, of the enthusiasm they excite, even in these cultivated days? |
36818 | But, how came this wonderful relic to Cologne, of all places in the world? |
36818 | By what perverse destiny?--was it avarice on our part, or force or fraud on that of others? |
36818 | Can it be possible that this glorious edifice was planned by a young prince, and erected out of his yearly savings? |
36818 | Can you give some accurate notion of the ideas which generally prevail on this subject? |
36818 | Can you task your sensitive mind to stand reproach and ridicule? |
36818 | Do they not point to their literature and their institutions, as more favourable to your sex than any other? |
36818 | Do you apply this personally? |
36818 | Do you forget Mrs. Darner and Lady Dacre? |
36818 | Do you forget that the cause of the thirty years war was a woman? |
36818 | Do you know that I once overheard a well- meaning mother instructing her daughter how to be natural? |
36818 | Do you know what you mean? |
36818 | Do you know who I am?" |
36818 | Do you think I did not observe and feel the contrast? |
36818 | Does this collection of the Prince of Orange still exist at Brussels? |
36818 | Had he indeed? |
36818 | Had he? |
36818 | Had then violence been used to carry her off? |
36818 | Have I not heard you say, that it is the present fashion among the poets, artists, and writers of Germany, to defer in all things to the middle ages? |
36818 | Have we not had a Flaxman? |
36818 | Have you been rambling about the world for these six months-- yet learned nothing? |
36818 | Have you decided between the different systems of Jacobi and Schelling? |
36818 | Have you examined and noted down the routine of the_ domestic_ education of their children? |
36818 | Have you heard the low booming of that mighty ocean which approaches, wave after wave, to break up the dikes and boundaries of ancient power? |
36818 | He added,"They ask me often where are the models after which I worked? |
36818 | How could I remember that all this_ had been_, and not bless the miracle- worker-- Time? |
36818 | How far, then, may a woman be vain with a good grace and betray it without ridicule? |
36818 | How? |
36818 | I addressed the one who was the most beautiful, and said,''Are you Mademoiselle Emilie S----?'' |
36818 | I am afraid that I appear very stupid? |
36818 | I asked eagerly in what character? |
36818 | I asked her if she had ever met with insult? |
36818 | I asked her whether she had not feared to risk the safety of her generous friend? |
36818 | I do perfectly understand you; but, pray what are our strictly masculine privileges, that you should covet them? |
36818 | I draw from the life,--now, what would you say to such a woman if you met with her in the world? |
36818 | I have been asked twenty times since my return to England, whether the German women are not very_ exaltée_--very romantic? |
36818 | I hope you are not one of these? |
36818 | I really believe that in Germany the latter catastrophe would be in most cases inevitable; and where is the woman who knowingly would risk it? |
36818 | I see;--but are you prepared for consequences? |
36818 | I was at Aix- la- Chapelle, was I not? |
36818 | I? |
36818 | If I risk thus much, will you venture the rest?" |
36818 | If her former journey, when hope cheered her on the way, had been so fearful, what must have been her return? |
36818 | If you prefer slaves and playthings to companions and helpmates, is that our fault? |
36818 | In this harsh, cold, working- day world, is half an hour''s amusement nothing? |
36818 | In what respect is a female gambler worse than one of your sex? |
36818 | Is it not so? |
36818 | May one beg, or borrow them?--What is your book? |
36818 | Me? |
36818 | Milton, is it not? |
36818 | Not Devrient- Schroeder? |
36818 | Now, why should not sculpture have its Gothic( or romantic) school, as well as its antique, or classical school? |
36818 | O when will there be charity in the world? |
36818 | Or a Tam o''Shanter as well as a laughing Faun? |
36818 | Or the sublime and beautiful among the frivolous and degraded of one sex, the money- making or the brutalized of the other? |
36818 | Or, how should I, who am incapable of estimating the technical perfection of art, stand entranced-- as to- day I stood-- before the Ilioneus? |
36818 | Perhaps for want of patronage? |
36818 | Shall I confess to you? |
36818 | Tell me, had you a full moon while you were on the Rhine? |
36818 | Tell me-- did you find this prejudice entertained by the women themselves, or existing chiefly on the part of the men? |
36818 | The case is more pitiable;--more rare-- therefore, perhaps, more shocking; but why more hateful? |
36818 | The judge demanded whether it was by her own will that she had fled with Henri Ambos? |
36818 | The natural question then is, what can excite so much interest in pictures, where so much is wanting to render them perfect? |
36818 | Then I will leave you to think;--or shall I go on? |
36818 | Then tell me, what have_ you_ brought home? |
36818 | Then what, in Heaven''s name,_ have_ you learned? |
36818 | Then you are of this new school, which reveals the union of faith and philosophy? |
36818 | Then, where is truth? |
36818 | There now!--will you not leave the picture, perfect as it is, and not for ever seek in every object something more than is there? |
36818 | Unfortunately the first bars of the Tyrolienne brought Taglioni before my mind''s eye, and who or what could stand the comparison? |
36818 | Very well,--and very true:--but who shall bring a rule and compass to measure the capabilities of art, and define its proper objects? |
36818 | Was not her mode of thinking the fashion of her time, the effect of her education? |
36818 | Was not this a fearful contrast? |
36818 | Well, to descend to your own peculiar sphere, have you satisfied yourself as to the moral and social position of the women in Germany? |
36818 | What can they know of what is to be known? |
36818 | What do they endure of what is to be endured? |
36818 | What do they see of all that is to be seen? |
36818 | What has become of him?'' |
36818 | What more at Brussels? |
36818 | What next? |
36818 | What shall I say of them? |
36818 | When will human beings, women especially, show mercy and justice to each other, and not judge of results, without a reference to causes? |
36818 | Where shall I begin? |
36818 | Where, but at the beginning? |
36818 | Which Dannecker declined? |
36818 | Which has the most enjoyment? |
36818 | Who are now the principal sculptors in Germany? |
36818 | Who had"Put in her tender heart the aspiring flame Of golden sovereignty?" |
36818 | Why do you lay such an emphasis upon_ female_ gambler? |
36818 | Why would Canova give us for the head of Dante''s Beatrice that of a muse, or an Aspasia? |
36818 | Will you not allow that they worked in a different spirit? |
36818 | Yet in all alike, is it not the intense feeling of life and individual nature which charms, which fixes us? |
36818 | Yet in this last journey you had an object-- a purpose? |
36818 | Yet was it my fault that I remembered in the same part the syren Sontag, and the enchantress Malibran? |
36818 | You allude to Elizabeth of Bohemia, who was to Heidelberg what Helen was to Troy? |
36818 | You do not mean-- you will not tell me-- that with all your love of music, you were insensible to the miraculous powers of that man? |
36818 | You do not suppose that, with all my Gothic tastes, I am such a Goth as not to feel the truth of what you say? |
36818 | You pause?--you have nothing to say of Cologne? |
36818 | You perhaps recollect her in England when only Duchess of Oldenburg? |
36818 | You remember Michael Angelo''s statue of Christ in the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva at Rome? |
36818 | You visited, of course, Schamp''s collection? |
36818 | You would plead then for a_ female_ gambler? |
36818 | Your first journey was one of mere amusement? |
36818 | [ 27]--Why do you smile? |
36818 | [ 6] Was not this admirable? |
36818 | a Constance as well as a Niobe? |
36818 | all this emotion for Goethe? |
36818 | and for Petrarch''s Laura, a mere_ tête de nymphe_? |
36818 | and when will reflection upon these causes lead to their removal? |
36818 | and why should not criticism have its telescope for truth, as well as its microscope for error? |
36818 | and yet, who but the Being above us all, can know what is resisted? |
36818 | for that of the Elector of Saxony--"Shall I leave my good Emperor?" |
36818 | have you not seen it? |
36818 | is that nothing? |
36818 | said Frederic, sternly;"you, who have wasted the fruits of the earth, and destroyed those whose industry cultivates it? |
36818 | said the emperor, astonished;"and what can I do for you?" |
36818 | that this alone, of all the fine arts, is to belong to some peculiar mode of existence, some peculiar mode of thinking, feeling, and believing? |
36818 | was not he a poet? |
36818 | where is Dannecker?'' |
2118 | All bad as Poetry, those Verses? |
2118 | Attacked, you? |
2118 | Burn the Suburbs? |
2118 | Defend? 2118 Have not I reconquered Silesia?" |
2118 | How is this? |
2118 | I am sorry indeed to hear that!--Were there Generals too in your house? 2118 MY DEAREST SISTER,--What is the good of philosophy unless one employ it in the disagreeable moments of life? |
2118 | Neutrality to Hanover? |
2118 | No, you are an honest man:--probably a Protestant? |
2118 | On the Height beyond Neumarkt, that will be? |
2118 | Or else? |
2118 | Recapture of Silesia? |
2118 | Rest:--and Daun, coming on with 30,000 of reinforcement to them, might arrive this night? 2118 Send to Kur- Mainz say you? |
2118 | Shall not we reap, then, where there is such a harvest standing white to us? |
2118 | Shall we order that to cease, your Majesty? |
2118 | Should you have known me again? |
2118 | Swedes, what are they? |
2118 | To see the--what shall we call it: seat of honor, in fact,"of your enemy:"has it not an undeniable charm? |
2118 | Well, children, how think you it will be to- morrow? 2118 What IS all that?" |
2118 | What could I do? 2118 What does or can he mean, then?" |
2118 | What is Friedrich? 2118 What is to hinder you from starving them into surrender?" |
2118 | What made thee desert, then? |
2118 | What sound is that? |
2118 | When got you rid of your high guests? |
2118 | Who are you? |
2118 | Why not spare me a small English squadron, and blow these away? |
2118 | Why not unite with the Swedes and take Stettin( the finest harbor in the Baltic), which would bring Russia, by ships, to your very hand? |
2118 | Why not, if we do our duty at all, annihilate his trifle of an Army; take himself prisoner, and so end it? |
2118 | You are dead, sirrah,said Daun;"hoisted to the highest gallows: Are not you? |
2118 | ''Again nominated, why again?'' |
2118 | ''Do n''t I?'' |
2118 | ''Making for Hanover?'' |
2118 | ''SI UN ALLEMAND PEUT AVOIR DE L''ESPRIT( Can a German possibly have sharpness of wits)?'' |
2118 | ''What did he die of?'' |
2118 | ''What of that?'' |
2118 | ( Where the 103 pieces of my own are, and my 27 flags, and my Army- chest and sundries? |
2118 | --"GLAUBT ER DIES, Do you think so?" |
2118 | --"Well, and if he do? |
2118 | --''Why rage the Heathen; why do the people imagine a vain thing? |
2118 | --Heavy billeting; but what was that?... |
2118 | 167, 168,? |
2118 | 50);& c.& c.] and not leave Austria by itself to do the duel with Friedrich? |
2118 | A longish, almost straight row of young Prussian recruits stretched among the slain, what are these? |
2118 | Alas, my friends, what could Xavier probably avail, the foolish fellow, with only three regiments? |
2118 | An eye- sorrow, they, with their commerce, their weavings and industryings, to Austrian Papists, who can not weave or trade?" |
2118 | And did you ever see such horses, such splendor of equipment, regardless of expense? |
2118 | And where is it said, that Brutus and Cato should carry magnanimity farther than Princes and Kings? |
2118 | And, alas, withal, how is it possible, with that America hanging over us?" |
2118 | And, in fact, the second man of these poor fellows did die there? |
2118 | As I was on foot, and none of my people now near, he bade give me his led horse which he still had[ and sent me home for surgery? |
2118 | As when( June 9th) he personally visits Balbi''s parallels( top of the Tafelberg yonder); and inquires,''When do you calculate to get done, then?'' |
2118 | Attack to be in this point?" |
2118 | Be assaulted by an Army like his?" |
2118 | Better than two pitched battles gained: who shall say? |
2118 | Bring the war into our own borders? |
2118 | But does your Eminency take notice how high my connections are; what service a poor obscure creature might perhaps do the State some day?" |
2118 | But how help it? |
2118 | But if they are gone to St. Vitus, and fail in every point, what can one do? |
2118 | But is that the example for me to follow? |
2118 | But the answer was-- what could the answer be? |
2118 | But the noise grew louder, and came ever nearer; I turned my guns towards it[ southward, southeastward, or perhaps a gun each way?] |
2118 | But there is no crossing of the Mutzel, there is only drowning in the quagmires there:--death any way; what can be done but die? |
2118 | But with regiments jammed in this astonishing way, and got collectively into the lion''s throat, what can be done? |
2118 | But, indeed, what other shift has he,"considers Daun,"but to try rallying at Glogau yonder, safe under the guns?" |
2118 | Can this be the same Army that Royal Highness led to the Sea and the Parish Pound? |
2118 | Carteret, at this crisis, was again applied to,''Can not you? |
2118 | Continually southward, as if for Tamsel:--poor old Tamsel, do readers recollect it at all, does Friedrich at all? |
2118 | Dangerous, serving Citatio in that quarter: and by what art try to smuggle it into the hands of such a one? |
2118 | Daun ought to be far on with the conquest of that Country? |
2118 | Daun, that morning, in his reconnoitrings, had asked of a peasant,"What is that, then?" |
2118 | Dinner, up in the Schloss, is just being taken from the spit, and the swashing at its height, when--''Hah what is that, though?'' |
2118 | Double or quits, that is our game: can we yield for a little ill- luck? |
2118 | FOX to Pitt:''Will you join ME?'' |
2118 | Feasible perhaps:"but straightway?" |
2118 | Fermor, in the evening, said to his Artillery People:"Why have you ceased to fire grenadoes?" |
2118 | For you, when I reflect that you are Prussians, can I think that you will act unworthily? |
2118 | Friedrich sometimes remonstrates:"Can not you spare such phraseology, unseemly to Kings? |
2118 | Furious, and strenuous, it is not doubted, on this Friedrich''s part: but against such odds, what can he do? |
2118 | Half a mile behind Krzeczhorz( let us write it Kreczor, for the future: what can we do? |
2118 | He is down reconnoitring his end of the Bridge: sha''n''t I, then?" |
2118 | His Prussians at Zittau, at Moys, at Breslau in the new Malplaquet, were we beaten by them? |
2118 | His men have been on foot since midnight, and on forced marches for days past: were it not better to rest for this one day? |
2118 | How Prince Karl came to expose his Bakery, his staff of life so far ahead of him? |
2118 | How can a Prince survive his State, the glory of his Country, his own reputation? |
2118 | How could I know?" |
2118 | I fired off my cannons[ shall we say straight southward?] |
2118 | I struggled to my feet, as fast as, for weakness, I possibly could; and got up to our confused mass[ CONFUSEN KLUMPEN,--exact place, where? |
2118 | If outrage irritates even cowards, what will it do to hearts that have courage? |
2118 | If peradventure he can take Custrin without proper siege- artillery, in the Oczakow or Anti- Turk way? |
2118 | If the carrying of meal so far be difficult what will the carrying of siege- furniture be? |
2118 | If you learn that a misfortune happens to one of us, ask,''Did he die fighting?'' |
2118 | In behalf of an afflicted old King?'' |
2118 | In vain, or nearly so, is Friedrich''s tactic or manoeuvring talent; what now is there to manoeuvre? |
2118 | Is Liberty, that precious prerogative, to be less dear to a Sovereign in the eighteenth century than it was to Roman Patricians of old? |
2118 | Is it for you to bend under worn- out notions of justice, right? |
2118 | Is there new order come? |
2118 | Meanwhile, is it not remarkable that Friedrich wrote more Verses, this Autumn, than almost in any other three months of his life? |
2118 | Nay, before the passage was complete-- what light- horse squadrons are these? |
2118 | Nay, perhaps my Rhine- Bridge itself, and the small Party left there?'' |
2118 | No man is willing for the operation, most men shudder at it; but who can help them? |
2118 | Nobler fire, when did it burn in any Army? |
2118 | November 5th is a day unforgettable: but anterior to that, what can we do? |
2118 | One asks only: How is the business ever to be done, if you can not even settle what imbecile is to go and try it? |
2118 | One moment of practical happiness is worth a thousand years of imaginary in such Temple.--Is the lot of high people so very sweet, then? |
2118 | One of Four; to the Four most deserving: Schwerin( 1771), Winterfeld( 1777), Seidlitz( 1779, Keith( when? |
2118 | Or perhaps Friedrich now judged it immaterial, and a question only of hours? |
2118 | Or perhaps there never seriously was such a plan? |
2118 | Perhaps only cautious of getting into a general action for what was intrinsically nothing? |
2118 | Pitt sulkily looking on America, on Minorca; on things German, on things in general; warily set on returning, as is thought; but How? |
2118 | Prisoners?" |
2118 | Push home upon him, as united Posse Comitatus of Mankind; in a sacred cause of Polish Majesty and Public Justice, how can one malefactor resist? |
2118 | Quaggy Zaberngrund,--do readers remember it; one of those"Three continuous Leakages,"very important, to Fermor and us at present? |
2118 | Riding up the line, all now grown dusky, Friedrich asks,"Any battalion a mind to follow me to Lissa?" |
2118 | Ruler''s Work,--policy, administration, governance, guidance, performance in any kind,--where is it to be found? |
2118 | Runs to the Duke of Cumberland at Stade; thence to Richelieu at Zeven; back to the Duke, back to Zeven:''Wo n''t you; and wo n''t YOU?'' |
2118 | Shall I write to Collini on it? |
2118 | Shall we follow Moritz and Bevern?" |
2118 | Some of the more veteran sort asked, ruggedly confidential, as well as loyal:"What is thy news, then, so late?" |
2118 | Stiff dispute; and had the Austrians possessed the Prussian dexterity in manoeuvring, and a Friedrich been among them,--perhaps? |
2118 | Straight upon Zittau?" |
2118 | Such a Problem has this King: soluble within the time; or not soluble? |
2118 | The Anecdote- Books( perhaps not mythically) add this:"Where are all your guns, though?" |
2118 | The Russians, beaten to fragments, would not run: whither run? |
2118 | The poor Prince takes post on what Heights there are, on his own side of the Neisse; looks wistfully down upon Zittau, asking How? |
2118 | The quarrels of Kings have to be decided by the sword; what profit in unseemly language, Madam?" |
2118 | There were twirls of that kind in Friedrich; intricate weak places; knots in the sound straight- fibred mind he had( as in whose mind are they not? |
2118 | They have got the Eckart''s Hill, which commands Zittau:--and how to get into Zittau and our magazines, and how to subsist if we were in? |
2118 | They were talking of Shakspeare:''Genial, if you will,''said Gottsched,''but the Laws of Aristotle; Five Acts, unities strict!''--''Aristotle? |
2118 | They, and the force they still had in Lissa, could easily have taken him: but how could they know? |
2118 | This, it was afterwards surmised, had been a feint on Friedrich''s part; to give the Austrians pleasant thoughts:''Invading us, is he? |
2118 | To dictate peace from the walls of Vienna: that lay on the cards for him this morning; and at night--? |
2118 | To which Bevern replies,"Excellent, truly; but how?" |
2118 | Unhappily they did not arrive, or not in due quantity at the set time,--for what reason, by what strange mistake? |
2118 | Was it ever seen before, that three great Princes laid plot in concert to destroy a Fourth, who had done nothing against them? |
2118 | Was it here while waiting about Meissen, or where was it, that Daun got his Letter to Fermor answered in that singular way? |
2118 | We are not to have our Pandourade, then?" |
2118 | We are on the Breslau Great Road, that goes through Lissa, are n''t we?" |
2118 | What a sight for Friedrich:"Big game SHALL be played, then; death sure, this day, to thousands of men: and to me--? |
2118 | What can a Polish Majesty and Electoral Translucency do? |
2118 | What else?" |
2118 | What is to become of those poor people, if not even a Lord Loudon can get out?" |
2118 | What is to hinder a man from making his Tragedy in Ten acts, if it suit him better?'' |
2118 | What said they? |
2118 | When was there seen such a Bellona as Dauphiness before? |
2118 | Which was the idea in London, too:"Do n''t we, by Apocalyptic Newswriters and eyesight of our own, understand the man?" |
2118 | Who could express that in German with such melody?'' |
2118 | Whose IS that blood but thine? |
2118 | Why not; were the"Deliverance of Saxony"complete? |
2118 | Will readers take a touch more of the DRILL- SERGEANT? |
2118 | Will the reader consent to their Dialogue, which is dullish, but singular to have in an authentic form, with Nicolai as voucher? |
2118 | Winterfeld was by no means universally liked; as what brave man is or can be? |
2118 | Would the reader wish to see, in summary, what Pitt''s Offices have been, since he entered on this career about thirty years ago? |
2118 | Yes; and is there nothing to account of Pirna, and the later scores? |

2118 | answered they.--"But think only where they stand yonder, and how they have intrenched themselves?" |
2118 | asked he sharply of Retzow senior, who had broken through his order, one day, to avert great mischief:"How come you here, MON GENERAL?" |
2118 | asked somebody( might be Deblin the Shoemaker, for anything I know) of an Austrian sentry there:"That? |
2118 | coming round upon Bohemia from the east, then?" |
2118 | said he, with a gay tone, stepping in:"Is there still room left, think you?" |

2118 | sighed Britannic Majesty:"Alas, am not I pledged by Treaty? |

29167 | ''What?'' 29167 , in the German fashion,"_ How art thou?_"To princes and princesses that are in disgrace, this momentous question is put only once. |
29167 | A loving cup? |
29167 | Afraid? |
29167 | Afraid? |
29167 | Am I one of those beneath Your Imperial Highness? |
29167 | And sold that knowledge? |
29167 | And the mere surmise prompted you to blab to my husband, arouse his suspicions? |
29167 | And they give names? |
29167 | And would you go with me to the end of the earth, as the story books put it? |
29167 | And you think me ninny enough to be satisfied with reading no more than what you consider proper for me to see? |
29167 | And you will always love me? |
29167 | Antedate your papers,I advised,"who dare dispute the king? |
29167 | Anyhow, who gave you permission to read such rotten stuff as this at our court? |
29167 | Are n''t you coming along, Frederick Augustus? |
29167 | Are you stark, staring mad? |
29167 | Bernhardt,I said,"why do n''t you marry?" |
29167 | Brighton,he repeated,"and where will you get the spondulicks?" |
29167 | But how is baby? |
29167 | But the responsibility? |
29167 | But why am I acclaimed whenever I show myself? |
29167 | But why did you make a beast of yourself? |
29167 | But why did you say you are no Cosel? |
29167 | But why this masquerade? |
29167 | Decide quickly: are you going to make King George a present of yourself as well as of the five children you bore for the benefit of the Wettiners? |
29167 | Did Baumann tell you that I offered to accept divorce if it pleases the King? |
29167 | Did n''t he hit me in_ the eats_? |
29167 | Did you command the_ Daumont_ coach- and- four to meet us at the station? |
29167 | Did you tell His Majesty? |
29167 | Do you blame me? |
29167 | Do you know this? |
29167 | Do you know this? |
29167 | Do you really suppose,replied Frederick Augustus,"that I''ll court royal displeasure for the sake of those Jew- scribblers? |
29167 | Does your husband know about your interference for that rake? |
29167 | Frederick Augustus,I will say to him,"now that we are King and Queen, let''s enjoy to the full the thing''s emoluments; otherwise, what''s the use? |
29167 | Good gracious,I said to Her Majesty,"is that all? |
29167 | Good heavens,he cried,"have n''t I the right to be jealous? |
29167 | Have you ever seen my Diary? |
29167 | His Majesty''s own words? |
29167 | How can one lay by for a rainy day when one has n''t got anything? |
29167 | How could I help it? 29167 How do they know that I am not on good terms with the King?" |
29167 | How do you know I keep a Diary? |
29167 | How much did you pay for my blue car? |
29167 | How much have they found out? |
29167 | How much? |
29167 | Is it any business of mine to support my relatives''mistresses? |
29167 | Is that all they say about me? |
29167 | Is that so? |
29167 | It''s creditors, mere creditors bothering you? |
29167 | Kettledrums? |
29167 | Louise,he mumbled reproachfully,--"what will his Majesty say?" |
29167 | Marry, marry, why always marry? |
29167 | May I act as Your Imperial Highness''s out- rider? |
29167 | May I not quote your father''s own words? |
29167 | May I take my children? 29167 May it please Your Majesty-- some steak?" |
29167 | My-- what? |
29167 | Never heard of the prodigious bosoms of_ Mademoiselle_ Chouin? |
29167 | Not love you? |
29167 | On a tour of inspection of houses of ill- fame? |
29167 | Personal matter,you say? |
29167 | Prison for the Crown Princess? 29167 See the pompous looking man in the corner yonder? |
29167 | Since when do you give orders here, Baroness? |
29167 | Since when does my husband send you to announce him? |
29167 | So you do n''t love me? |
29167 | Suppose I call on your Imperial Highness''s mother and ask her to forbid you to mount a horse for a month or so? |
29167 | The Dolores is prettier than I? |
29167 | Then how do you know I keep a Diary? |
29167 | Then there will be no divorce? |
29167 | Then why those cruel words? |
29167 | Then you despise money? |
29167 | They wo n''t let the Duke marry? |
29167 | Very well,said Frederick Augustus, and I saw that I had risen mile- high in his estimation,"when will it be your pleasure to leave for Loschwitz?" |
29167 | What are you doing, Imperial Highness? |
29167 | What can I do with her? |
29167 | What does Your Royal Highness mean? |
29167 | What does he know? |
29167 | What has happened? |
29167 | What has that to do with my going to the theatre? |
29167 | What have they found out? |
29167 | What have we got here? |
29167 | What have you been doing again? |
29167 | What is Your Imperial Highness''s pleasure? |
29167 | What right have you got to treat me like a woman unmindful of her duties? |
29167 | What would you have me do, Louise? 29167 What''s this, what''s this?" |
29167 | What''s this? |
29167 | What''s this? |
29167 | When will Your Imperial Highness deign to return? |
29167 | Where did you get it? |
29167 | Which of the princes is your husband? |
29167 | Who is the lady? |
29167 | Who let you in? |
29167 | Who told you that? |
29167 | Who told you that? |
29167 | Who told you? |
29167 | Who''s that? |
29167 | Who''s''we''? |
29167 | Why a cab? |
29167 | Why do you want to leave Dresden? |
29167 | Why does Your Royal Highness forbid me to see my children? |
29167 | Why not? |
29167 | Why stand such tyranny? |
29167 | Will Your Majesty have one or two lumps of sugar? |
29167 | Will your Imperial Highness allow me to explain? |
29167 | Wo n''t stand for anything that I think proper to mete out to you, rascal? 29167 Would you like to paint me?" |
29167 | You big booby,I interposed,"ca n''t you see that I''m not angry? |
29167 | You dare advise me to leave my children? |
29167 | You do n''t intend to go to such worldly amusements now that you are a mother? |
29167 | You do n''t want me to go, papa do n''t want me to go, uncle and aunt and cousins do n''t? 29167 You furnished to her those infernal books, sowing the seed of guilty knowledge?" |
29167 | You made these clippings? |
29167 | You refer to me as anyone? |
29167 | You saw that? |
29167 | You visited Castle Sibyllenort a week ago,continued Romano--"a most proper place, this royal residence, is it not? |
29167 | You want me to think that you command the rays of the sun stolen by Prometheus? |
29167 | You will attend the opera? |
29167 | You wo n''t allow the King, or Prince George, to dictate what I shall read or not read? |
29167 | You? |
29167 | After all, what can they do to you?" |
29167 | Am I flirting, then? |
29167 | Am I quiet? |
29167 | And at Richard''s:"Will Your Greatness( Majesty) deign to take Your Greatness''s feather out of my eye?" |
29167 | And come to think of it, if Lucretia and I were promenading in the_ Bois_ and met the Count by accident, where''s the harm? |
29167 | And if I can not, what matters it? |
29167 | And if he refused? |
29167 | And she told the story of her infamy-- or mine? |
29167 | And was n''t it a fact that the Socialists had combined never more to raise their hats to him just because he insisted on it? |
29167 | And was n''t that one of the reasons why the government was more hard on them than happened to be politic? |
29167 | At last I deign to inquire:"What is it, Baroness?" |
29167 | But what about the testament?" |
29167 | But what will I do? |
29167 | Come along?" |
29167 | Could it be Romano, dare- devil, who had come back to me? |
29167 | Curious, is n''t it? |
29167 | Did he take me for a dancing girl? |
29167 | Did n''t the Kaiser nominate himself Adjutant- General to his grand- dad long after William I lay mouldering in Charlottenburg?" |
29167 | Did n''t they accuse your grand- aunt, Marie Antoinette, of incest with her son and gave him to the cobbler to thrash the immorality out of him?" |
29167 | Did they take me for a raven? |
29167 | Do n''t I know what''s in your heart?" |
29167 | Do n''t you see that I love you to distraction? |
29167 | Do you hear, Grand Mistress? |
29167 | Evolutions,_ Parade- marsch_, attacks, saluting the colors, Persian and Saxon, what not? |
29167 | FOOTNOTES:[ Footnote 7: Queens seem to like this unseemly comparison:"Am I a kennel- dog in the estimation of the Bastard of England?" |
29167 | Finally I managed to say:"Ca n''t you see that you are playing_ va banque_?" |
29167 | Forever, I thought, when he put this question to me:"You are keeping a Diary, Louise?" |
29167 | Has he expectations for gaining a throne? |
29167 | Have I ever been allowed to be a real mother to them? |
29167 | How long has he loved me? |
29167 | I believe Queen Natalie''s father was a colonel, or was he only a lieutenant- colonel? |
29167 | I blab about you to the King? |
29167 | I cut him short:"Are the children yours or mine?" |
29167 | I might forgive him the lie, but what is he doing with the money? |
29167 | I rose and, measuring her from head to toe with flaming eyes, I said:"You will do nothing of the kind, do you understand?" |
29167 | I shall tell them that I want to go home, but will they have me in Salzburg? |
29167 | I was still grinning to myself when I heard Frederick Augustus''s troubled voice:"Get in, what are you standing around here for?" |
29167 | I wonder whether this Bernhardt loves me? |
29167 | Impertinence? |
29167 | Is his admiration greater than his love? |
29167 | Is it possible,"she continued sarcastically,"you have to ask?" |
29167 | Leopold so far forgot himself as to address a question to the"All- Highest":"What infernal books?" |
29167 | Liberty? |
29167 | Louise wo n''t purchase two"_ How art thou''s?_"at the price their Majesties and Royal Highnesses ask. |
29167 | May he come in?" |
29167 | Maybe, knowing my inflammable heart, she offered the tempting bait solely to the end of getting me into her power? |
29167 | Of course, the someone was the Tisch, but how did she know? |
29167 | Once more I hold the whip hand, but what good will it do me since I am condemned to lose the man I love? |
29167 | Secrets between the Prince- Royal and Your Imperial Highness-- how dare I pre- suppose such a state of things? |
29167 | Shut my door to him? |
29167 | The impertinent cat insisted:"But I think it proper----""Have you heard what I said or not, Baroness?" |
29167 | Then father kissed me more lovingly than ever and asked, half apologetically:"Is it true, Louise, that you had a lover?" |
29167 | This is the mode of proceedings: Ceremony obliges the King to address each member of the royal family with the words:"How do you do? |
29167 | This morning I awoke a mental and physical wreck, but determined to solve those vexatious questions:"What do the King and Prince George know?" |
29167 | To begin with, what has an elephant to do with supping with a dancing girl?" |
29167 | Up to now I do n''t care a rap for him, but who knows? |
29167 | Was I in a position to defy them? |
29167 | Was n''t I poor? |
29167 | Was n''t I young and handsome? |
29167 | Was there ever a good- looking man, women did n''t try to capture and seduce? |
29167 | What are you doing in Dresden?" |
29167 | What are you going to do about it, King, George, Frederick Augustus? |
29167 | What care I for the King, Prince George and the rest who are trying to make life miserable for me? |
29167 | What do I care for George, what do I care for the world? |
29167 | What do you take me for? |
29167 | What does this royal drill- ground bully do? |
29167 | What is he doing when he is not with me? |
29167 | What kind of an establishment will he be able to set up? |
29167 | What more do you want? |
29167 | What new trouble was brewing? |
29167 | What''s the use keeping a diary that is nothing but a record of quarrels and humiliations? |
29167 | Where did you get them, anyhow?" |
29167 | Where is his vaunted respect for the uniform?" |
29167 | White as a ghost, he fixed his eyes upon mine, momentarily, and murmured:"Have we got to that point?" |
29167 | Who would, if I did n''t? |
29167 | Why? |
29167 | Will he be wise enough to retain that throne? |
29167 | Will my limbs carry me to him and liberty? |
29167 | Would Your Imperial Highness be pleased to visit the theatre or the Opera if the King approves?" |
29167 | Would it even prevent Prince George from saying that I myself was to blame? |
29167 | Would you dare, Prince George?" |
29167 | Yes or no?" |
29167 | Yet there''s Bernhardt? |
29167 | You triumph, wretch and Jezebel? |
29167 | _ Scandalum magnatum!_ But what are you going to do about it,_ Messieurs_? |
29167 | _ Sired and"Cousined"by Lunatics_ And is there no excuse for so much baseness in high places? |
29167 | _ The Sad Saxon Court_ Her experience? |
29167 | cried the King,''You dare name conditions for your good conduct?''" |
29167 | he cried,"do n''t you know what happened to John the other day?" |
29167 | shouted my husband,--"Impose conditions after the King moderated?" |
2120 | A glass of burgundy[ poisoned burgundy], your Highness? |
2120 | Among the thousand ill strokes of Fortune, does there at length come one pre- eminently good? 2120 And the Moral?" |
2120 | And you are again our Gracious King, then? |
2120 | Are you( ER) the Professor Gellert? |
2120 | At Schonbrunn, in the short hours, Kappel finds Frau Kappel in state of unappeasable curiosity:''What can it be? 2120 Austria willing for Treaty; is your Majesty willing?" |
2120 | Be swift enough, may not we cut through to Jauer, and get ahead of Daun? |
2120 | But why does n''t it change? 2120 Can it be good,"she might privately think withal,"to begin our reign by kindling a foolish War again?" |
2120 | Can the Reichshofrath say our junction is not complete? |
2120 | Can you repeat any of your Fables? |
2120 | Commissariat horses, drivers? 2120 Eight regiments, you said? |
2120 | Hanover not in real danger,argues he;"if the French had it, would not they, all Europe ordering them, have to give it up again?" |
2120 | Havana, what shall we do with it? |
2120 | Have not you a brother at Freyberg? |
2120 | Have you never been out of Saxony? |
2120 | How can I? 2120 How these things will end?" |
2120 | How, would you wish one Augustus, then, for all Germany? |
2120 | Inevitable, then? 2120 Intending to enclose us in this bad pot of a Seichau; no crossing of the Katzbach, or other retreat to be left us at all?" |
2120 | Meaning to try it then? |
2120 | Peace coming? |
2120 | Perhaps by Jauer, then, still? 2120 Push westward, nearer the King? |
2120 | So? 2120 The Sisyphus stone, which we had got dragged to the top, the chains all beautifully slack these three months past,--has it leapt away again? |
2120 | Their cash is out: except prayer to the Virgin, what but Peace can they attempt farther? 2120 Through, no: and were we through, is not there the Rohrgraben?" |
2120 | Well, this is one good Author among the Germans; but why have not we more? |
2120 | What do you think, is Homer or Virgil the finer as an Epic Poet? |
2120 | What is it, then? |
2120 | What is that you are cooking? |
2120 | What is your complaint? 2120 What to do with it?" |
2120 | Why all this dodging, and fidgeting to and fro? 2120 Why did not Friedrich stay altogether, and wait here?" |
2120 | ''And do you know where the Kallenberg lies?'' |
2120 | ''Are you a Protestant?'' |
2120 | ''Behind Strehlen, say you? |
2120 | ''Better surrender to Christian Austrians, had not you?'' |
2120 | ''How long have you been in prison?'' |
2120 | ''March? |
2120 | ''Sweep rapidly past Ferdinand,--cannot we? |
2120 | ''That is a Letter to me,''answers the Good- man:''What have you to do with it?'' |
2120 | ''The Lager- Haus, say you? |
2120 | ''Were you well treated?'' |
2120 | ''You shall go for soldiers, then;--possibly you will prefer that, you fine powdered velvet gentlemen? |
2120 | ),--are you able to prevent even that? |
2120 | --"''Five thalers bounty for artillery men"say you? |
2120 | --''Perhaps that is because you favored the Reichsfolk while here?'' |
2120 | --and ended by saying:"Succeed here, and all may yet be saved; be beaten here, I know the consequences: but what can I do? |
2120 | --and would try a spoonful of it, in such company; while the rough fellows would forbid smoking,"Do n''t you know he dislikes it?" |
2120 | --surely that is loyal, and not in the old cat''s- paw way? |
2120 | --to replace Czernichef, and the blank he has left there? |
2120 | 592 n."October 5th"( ACCEPTANCE of the resignation, I suppose?) |
2120 | A Gottsched inclined to the Socinian view? |
2120 | A mere adjunct, or auxiliary, we: and we are a Feldmarschall; and you, what is your rank and seniority?" |
2120 | A position not to be attacked on that southern front, nor on either of its flanks:--where can it be attacked? |
2120 | A sally into Brandenburg: oh, could not you? |
2120 | After two such Victories, and such almost miraculous recovery of himself, who shall say what resistance he will not yet make? |
2120 | Alas, is our Czar regardless of Holy Religion, then? |
2120 | All the more, as Division Three is likewise got across from Estremadura, invading Alemtejo: what is to keep these Two from falling on Lisbon together? |
2120 | Am I here to inquire which of you shows bravery, which poltroonery?"'' |
2120 | And does order forward, hither, thither, masses of force to support the De Ligne, the O''Kelly, among others,--but who can tell what to support? |
2120 | And then, on more reflection, Broglio afterwards:''Or not till the 15th, M. le Prince; till I reconnoitre ye and drive in his outposts?'' |
2120 | And where are these to come from; England and its help having also fallen into such dubiety? |
2120 | Are not all men equal?" |
2120 | Artillery recruits are scarce in the extreme; demand bounty: five thalers, shall we say?" |
2120 | Breslau road? |
2120 | Busy about many things;--"using the altar,"it seems,"by way of writing- table[ self or secretaries kneeling, shall we fancy, on those new terms? |
2120 | But a certain Sergeant, Fugleman, or chief Corporal, stept out, saluting reverentially:"Regiment Bernburg, IHRO MAJESTAT--?" |
2120 | But having solidly eaten out said Magazine, what could Hulsen do but again move rearward? |
2120 | But why weary you with such details of my labors and my sorrows? |
2120 | Butturlin and the Russians grumble to themselves:"And you to take all the credit, as you did at Kunersdorf? |
2120 | Can there by no method be some distant notion afforded of them to the general reader? |
2120 | Cautious Henri never would make the smallest attack on Soltikof, but merely keep observing him;--the end of which, what can the end of it be? |
2120 | Choiseul frankly admits that he has come to the worst: ready for concessions, but the question is, What? |
2120 | Consideration is:"To Holstein? |
2120 | Did not they cancel it, and flatly refuse?" |
2120 | Did you ever hear such a cannonade before? |
2120 | Do n''t speak to me of dangers; the last Action costs me only a Coat[ torn, useless, only one skirt left, by some rebounding cannon- ball?] |
2120 | Embarrassing? |
2120 | Engaged, yes, and alas with what? |
2120 | Ephraim and Itzig, mint- masters of that copper- coinage; rolling in foul wealth by the ruin of their neighbors; ought not these to bleed? |
2120 | Fancy Loudon''s astonishment, on the third day:"While we have sat consulting how to attack him, there is he,--unattackable, shall we say?" |
2120 | For which he severely suffered: and perhaps repented,--who knows? |
2120 | For which, after all, is not everybody thankful, less or more? |
2120 | Fouquet has obeyed to the letter:"Did not my King wrong me?" |
2120 | Fouquet lost, Glatz unrelieved-- Nay, just before marching off, what is this new phenomenon? |
2120 | Friedrich''s grief about Berlin we need not paint; though there were murmurs afterwards,"Why did not he start sooner?" |
2120 | Going upon Glogau; upon Breslau?" |
2120 | Goltz and Gudowitsh are engaged on Treaty of Peace; Czar frankly gives up East Preussen,"Yours again; what use has Russia for it, Royal Friend?" |
2120 | HENRI..."I confess I am in great apprehension for Colberg:"--shall one make thither; think you? |
2120 | Have not you heard, then? |
2120 | Have you read La Fontaine?" |
2120 | He asked me,"Do n''t you know the rules of war, then; that you fire after chamade is beaten?" |
2120 | He has an Anti- Danish Russian Army just now in that neighborhood; he will not be safe in Holstein;--where will he be safe?" |
2120 | He passionately entreats Czernichef to be helpful to him,--which Czernichef would fain be, only how can he? |
2120 | Heyde consults his people:''KAMERADEN, what think you should I do?'' |
2120 | How a Baron, hitherto of honor, could all at once become TURPISSIMUS, the Superlative of Scoundrels? |
2120 | How form in order of battle here, with Ziethen''s batteries shearing your columns longitudinally, as they march up? |
2120 | How get these masses of enemies lured away, so that you could try such a thing? |
2120 | How is this fire to be got under? |
2120 | Human talent, diligence, endeavor, is it but as lightning smiting the Serbonian Bog? |
2120 | I asked the Commandant, who was behind me, which way I should march; to the Crown- work or to the Envelope? |
2120 | I can not; how can I? |
2120 | I know not if you have arranged with Duke Ferdinand for a proportionate succor, in case his French also should try to penetrate into Saxony upon me? |
2120 | I suppose these are bad times, are not they?" |
2120 | I took arrangements with General Fouquet[ about that long fine- spun Chain of Posts, where we are to do such service?] |
2120 | If Most Christian Majesty and his Pompadour will continue this War, is it he, or is it you, that can furnish the Magazines? |

34278 | The lady? |
34278 | The man''s name is Martinez Aranda? |
34278 | Then I take it that this girl- thief of the Montmartre whom you met when out for an evening''s amusement is the cause of all this trouble? 34278 Then how are you aware that I gave your message?" |
34278 | Then the noise you heard must have been quite an uncanny one, eh? |
34278 | Then you have lived in Germany? |
34278 | There are other engagements, I believe? |
34278 | To London-- when? |
34278 | To meet me? |
34278 | To what address? |
34278 | Was he alone? |
34278 | We go to Erfurt to- morrow, do we not? |
34278 | Well, Count, you and I are not altogether strangers, are we? |
34278 | Well-- and have you found him? |
34278 | Well? |
34278 | Well? |
34278 | Well? |
34278 | Well? |
34278 | What can I do? 34278 What can he expose?" |
34278 | What does he know? |
34278 | What in the name of Fate does all this mean, Heltzendorff? |
34278 | What situation? |
34278 | What subject? |
34278 | What would people think of me? |
34278 | When did that arrive? |
34278 | When do you expect her to return? |
34278 | Where are they now? |
34278 | Where are you going now? |
34278 | Where has he gone? |
34278 | Where is Seeliger? |
34278 | Where shall you stay? |
34278 | Who are they? |
34278 | Who is the girl? 34278 Who is your informant?" |
34278 | Who let him in? |
34278 | Who told you that? |
34278 | Why are you out here? |
34278 | Why did the Emperor fail to reply to my message? |
34278 | Why do you not admit it? |
34278 | Why does she warn me? |
34278 | Why should I do that? 34278 Why, you who have been married two whole years are surely not still upon your honeymoon?" |
34278 | Why? |
34278 | Why? |
34278 | Will Your Majesty leave the matter entirely in my hands? |
34278 | Woman,cried the Emperor,"do you, then, openly defy my authority?" |
34278 | You are certain you know nothing more? |
34278 | You are quite certain of this, Heltzendorff, eh? |
34278 | You are quite certain that you have never heard the name? 34278 You can refute it, surely?" |
34278 | You did not reply, I hope? |
34278 | You had perhaps met him before-- eh? |
34278 | You have no knowledge of the trap into which the Crown- Prince fell when he was in Paris with you six months ago, and when he and I first met? |
34278 | You know Spain? |
34278 | You know nothing, Von Heltzendorff, eh? |
34278 | You met him there, eh? |
34278 | You met my friend Lehnhardt last night, did you not? |
34278 | You probably do not know the true reason of his visit here to Nice? |
34278 | You will recall my conversation regarding the Countess von Leutenberg-- eh? |
34278 | You wish for no payment for this information, eh? |
34278 | You wish to meet him, then? |
34278 | Your Majesty does not believe in omens? |
34278 | A courier should arrive to- morrow night, or is it Knof who is coming? |
34278 | And as I discreetly withdrew I heard the Kaiser add:"Can not you, of our House of Hohenzollern, see that we can not afford to allow Cilli to leave us? |
34278 | And must not a War- Lord make war? |
34278 | And what more likely? |
34278 | And, after all, the reputations of most of us here are tarnished-- more or less-- eh?" |
34278 | Anything interesting in this town?" |
34278 | But I do not think I am very likely to be caught-- eh?" |
34278 | But how could she, in her position, have learnt the secret of the Emperor''s intentions? |
34278 | But what can I do? |
34278 | But who is he? |
34278 | But, fortunately, he now knows the truth and sees the advantage of-- well, you know, eh?" |
34278 | By what means had His Highness been rendered unconscious, and what part could the little old Countess have played in the curious affair? |
34278 | Can not I see Minckwitz and bluff him?" |
34278 | Can not we go across to the garden yonder?" |
34278 | Come, you see-- eh?" |
34278 | Could this man Martinez Aranda be an agent of police? |
34278 | Do I know her?" |
34278 | Do you happen to know Count Georg von Leutenberg, of the Hussars of the Guard?" |
34278 | Do you know Italian?" |
34278 | Do you know his wife-- a pretty little Englishwoman?" |
34278 | Do you recollect my broken pearls?" |
34278 | Do you remember the''Rat Mort''--eh?" |
34278 | For what reason had he come from Potsdam? |
34278 | For what reason? |
34278 | Had the Emperor called the unknown doctor into consultation with Frau Kleist? |
34278 | Has he told anybody what he knows?" |
34278 | Has not one of our greatest German philosophers written:''It is no use breathing against the wind''?" |
34278 | Have you come straight here?" |
34278 | Have you seen her wig?" |
34278 | He had evidently overheard her words about some curious thing happening, for, laughing gaily, he asked;"Now, what did happen a month ago?" |
34278 | He knows that you are here to settle some delicate little piece of business concerning that secret visit of his to Rome-- eh?" |
34278 | He seated himself upon the arm of a chair and asked:"Well, Heltzendorff, I suppose you''ve been out to lunch-- eh? |
34278 | He will surely know?" |
34278 | How can I act?" |
34278 | How did he know that the pretty Countess would expect me? |
34278 | How much?" |
34278 | How shall I act?" |
34278 | How shall I explain it? |
34278 | I fear you encountered bad weather-- eh?" |
34278 | I understand that you are acquainted with Herr Minckwitz,_ alias_ Sembach-- eh?" |
34278 | I----""Have you not heard me?" |
34278 | I----""Pardon, Madame,"I said, interrupting her, and speaking in French,"but is it really wise to speak thus of the Emperor''s secrets? |
34278 | Is n''t that so?" |
34278 | Is she not like that old crow, Von Kienitz?" |
34278 | Let us leave the others to their sport and get back to the schloss and discuss a line of action-- eh?" |
34278 | More than once His Highness had asked me:"Any news from Pinaud?" |
34278 | Now, what is your decision?" |
34278 | One of your enemies-- eh? |
34278 | Report here at seven to- night-- understand?" |
34278 | Richter?" |
34278 | She has no idea of who you are, I hope?" |
34278 | She looked very charming, and, in her frank way, asked me:"How do you like my dress, Count? |
34278 | She might perhaps be useful to us-- eh?" |
34278 | She wants me to write to Julie de Rouville at the Post Restante at Marseilles, eh? |
34278 | She, too, had been in secret to the forester''s house-- but with what object? |
34278 | Suddenly Karl asked:"Does Von Heltzendorff know?" |
34278 | Surely you would not think that I should travel from Berlin here to Plymouth in order to meet you if I were not ready and eager to help you?" |
34278 | That is where one takes one''s aunt, is it not?" |
34278 | Then you have been horribly indiscreet-- eh?" |
34278 | Then, after a pause, the Emperor looked me straight in the face and suddenly said:"Heltzendorff, have you any knowledge of any man called Minckwitz?" |
34278 | Then, in a whisper, she said with a merry laugh:"Do you remember those clattering hoofs and my broken rope of pearls? |
34278 | Then, turning to me, he apparently recognized my voice, for he asked--"How in the name of Fate did you come here, Heltzendorff?" |
34278 | Then, turning to me, he said:"Will you see Von Glasenapp for me, and hand him those orders for Posen? |
34278 | There is a doubt as to the man''s identity, eh?" |
34278 | Understand?" |
34278 | Was I being watched? |
34278 | Was he not the War- Lord? |
34278 | Was it for the purpose of meeting Schäfer that we had gone to Nice? |
34278 | Was there some scandal at the root of it all, some facts which the Crown- Prince feared might be revealed? |
34278 | We shall have a port on this pleasant sea one day-- if we live as long-- eh?" |
34278 | We shall meet again very soon-- eh? |
34278 | Well, did I not say that I should not be very long before I returned to Potsdam, eh?" |
34278 | Well, what''s the trouble?" |
34278 | Well?" |
34278 | Well?" |
34278 | What brought us together, you, an English novelist, and I a-- well, how shall I describe myself? |
34278 | What can I do to- night-- eh? |
34278 | What could I do? |
34278 | What could it be? |
34278 | What could the Emperor know of him? |
34278 | What did it all mean? |
34278 | What did it mean? |
34278 | What did you think of him when I presented you? |
34278 | What do they matter?" |
34278 | What do you mean?" |
34278 | What is his name?" |
34278 | What is she like?" |
34278 | What is the very interesting topic of conversation, eh?" |
34278 | What is your complaint?" |
34278 | What shall we do? |
34278 | What was his offence that she, with the Crown- Prince, should concoct, as it seemed to me, such a plot as that I had partly overheard? |
34278 | What was unfortunate? |
34278 | What, I wondered, was in the wind? |
34278 | When we were out of earshot I told him of the Emperor''s telegram, and added:"That lady was Miss Hewitt, was she not?" |
34278 | When will you learn reason?" |
34278 | Where is he? |
34278 | Where was the General''s son-- the real culprit and author of the letters? |
34278 | Who was that young fellow in whom the little old Countess seemed to take such deep and peculiar interest? |
34278 | Who was this Karl Krahl against whom some deep- laid plot was levelled? |
34278 | Why had the Emperor singled out for advancement the husband of that woman, the sight of whom had so greatly annoyed him? |
34278 | Why had the Kaiser summoned him? |
34278 | Why is he here?" |
34278 | Why should my mouth be thus closed? |
34278 | Why, I wondered, had His Majesty sent the Baron that photograph of Elise Breitenbach? |
34278 | Why? |
34278 | Why? |
34278 | Why?" |
34278 | Will you return to Berlin and report to the Emperor what you have seen here? |
34278 | Will you see him?" |
34278 | You have perhaps devised something-- eh? |
34278 | You know this Miss King, do you not?" |

2121 | How do YOU know, Herr? |

2121 | In itself perhaps not,thought Kaunitz;"but the free consent of Karl Theodor the Heir, will not that be a Title in full? |
2121 | Is there no method, then, of allowing Russia to prosecute its Turk War in spite of Austria and its umbrages? |
2121 | It seems to me you have already been to see the King of Prussia? |

2121 | The Case is that of a murderer,--murder indisputable;"but may not insanity be suspected, your Majesty, such the absence of motive, such the--?" |
2121 | The King again writes:"No Nobles to be found, say you? |

2121 | The Letters are without general interest: but, for Friedrich''s sake, perhaps readers will consent to a specimen? |
2121 | The Right of Confederation, too, is very curious: do readers know it? |
2121 | The poor Herr bethought him, what could he do? |
2121 | Then the King looked at the Clergyman, beckoned him near, and asked, Whose child it was? |
