| 7803 | And they ai n''t taught you to make maple- sugar? 7803 And you fill all of them every day?" |
| 7803 | And you, Van? |
| 7803 | Are some years better than others? |
| 7803 | Are you sugaring off already? |
| 7803 | Are you used up? |

| 7803 | Ca n''t you think? 7803 Can you see the blazes on the trees?" |
| 7803 | Can you still see our tracks? |
| 7803 | Could you go, Van? |
| 7803 | Did n''t other countries steal the idea of the rotating crop? |
| 7803 | Did n''t we pass a little clearing somewhere on the way up? |
| 7803 | Did you go to see him about me? |
| 7803 | Did your grandfather make maple- sugar to sell? |
| 7803 | Do n''t I feel bad enough as it is? |
| 7803 | Do n''t you feel well? |
| 7803 | Do n''t you say we go, Van? |
| 7803 | Do n''t you see I ca n''t? 7803 Do you mean it?" |

| 7803 | Is n''t any of the sugar refined in the places where it grows? |
| 7803 | It seems so when you see it in figures, does n''t it? |
| 7803 | It would be strange, would n''t it, to feel you were let off just to do something? |
| 7803 | Like what? |
| 7803 | May I ask,repeated the principal in measured tone,"what were you doing on the Claybrook Road at this hour, Blake?" |
| 7803 | Mean what? 7803 Not a crumb-- why? |
| 7803 | Of course not; why should he? |
| 7803 | Our farm? 7803 Really? |
| 7803 | Say,he demanded at last,"how did you come to know so much, Bobbie?" |
| 7803 | Seems queer, does n''t it? |
| 7803 | Shall we trail David or shall we go in and see the sugar made? |
| 7803 | So that was the reason you stopped Mr. Hennessey when he started to tell us the chemical formula? |
| 7803 | So your father is interested in beets too, is he? 7803 Speaking of fathers, where''s Dad, Mater?" |

| 7803 | The Claybrook Road? |
| 7803 | The boy? |
| 7803 | Then what did you mention it for in the beginning? |
| 7803 | Then you have n''t heard anything? |
| 7803 | Van thought so, did he? |
| 7803 | Was that all he said? |
| 7803 | Was that all? |
| 7803 | We do n''t seem to be coming out anywhere, do we? |
| 7803 | Well, if you are such a believer in a grin why do n''t you cultivate one yourself and see how far it will carry you? |
| 7803 | Well, what are we coming to? |
| 7803 | Well? |
| 7803 | What are those men over there doing? |
| 7803 | What are you doing, Dave? |
| 7803 | What do you mean by rotation? |
| 7803 | What do you mean, Dad? |
| 7803 | What do you mean? |
| 7803 | What do you say we pitch into the cake first? |
| 7803 | What do you think I''m made of, anyway? |
| 7803 | What is black bone coal? |
| 7803 | What might help? |
| 7803 | What on earth was the matter with you, Van? |
| 7803 | What set you thinking of that, Bob? |
| 7803 | What sort of a day is it, David? |
| 7803 | What was it? |
| 7803 | What you been doing with yourself all your days? |
| 7803 | What''s happened to you that you look like that? |
| 7803 | What''s the matter, old fellow? |
| 7803 | What''s the matter? 7803 What''s the matter?" |
| 7803 | What''s this? |
| 7803 | What''s your hurry? 7803 What? |
| 7803 | What? |
| 7803 | Where are you going? |
| 7803 | Where does it come from? |
| 7803 | Where''s your nerve? 7803 Why did n''t you look at it before you started?" |
| 7803 | Why do n''t you come over here and look at the view? |
| 7803 | Why do n''t you pull? |
| 7803 | Why not start to- day? |
| 7803 | Why not? 7803 Why not?" |
| 7803 | Why, as if somebody had sent you a Christmas- tree or made you president of a railroad? |
| 7803 | Why? |
| 7803 | Why? |
| 7803 | Will you stay right here like a decent chap and not get into any more mischief until I get back? |
| 7803 | Would you be interested to take a tour through the Eureka Candy Factory to- morrow and learn how candy is made? |
| 7803 | Yes, but--"Honor bright? |
| 7803 | You are Mr. Carlton''s son, are n''t you? |
| 7803 | You do n''t mean to say he wants you to break off your friendship with me? |
| 7803 | You were on the Claybrook Road, Blake? 7803 You''re going to investigate the way your father earns his money, eh?" |
| 7803 | You''re sure you know the trail, Bob? |
| 7803 | Ai n''t you got eyes, young man? |
| 7803 | And hark, do n''t you hear voices? |
| 7803 | And his father? |
| 7803 | And what were you doing there at this time of day?" |
| 7803 | And, anyway, who would be the wiser? |
| 7803 | Are you not my brain-- my intellectual machinery? |
| 7803 | Are you still hungry?" |
| 7803 | Are you sure it''s Saturday?" |
| 7803 | Blake?" |
| 7803 | Bob?" |
| 7803 | By the way, did you manage to dig out that Caesar for to- morrow? |
| 7803 | Ca n''t you send some one to take us through the refinery? |
| 7803 | Cane- sugar?" |
| 7803 | Carlton?" |
| 7803 | Carlton?" |
| 7803 | Could I live a day without you?" |
| 7803 | Could a boy be human and feel that way? |
| 7803 | Could we have passed it and not seen it?" |
| 7803 | Did not half the spice of life lay in risks? |
| 7803 | Did you expect to get away with it? |
| 7803 | Do I look fussed? |
| 7803 | Do n''t you recall how, when I arrived at Allenville, your father asked if I was one of the_ Sugar Blakes_--Asa Blake''s son?" |
| 7803 | Do n''t you recall my telling your father so? |
| 7803 | Do they get sugar from anything beside beets, and sugar- cane, and maple sap?" |
| 7803 | Do you know him?" |
| 7803 | Do you look like him?" |
| 7803 | Do you see the little hole in this maple?" |
| 7803 | Do you suppose we''ve been making any progress all this time, or just going round in a circle?" |
| 7803 | Eh, son?" |
| 7803 | Faster than that, do you hear? |
| 7803 | Flunk it? |
| 7803 | Got a knife, Bob?" |
| 7803 | Have n''t I climbed that mountain so many times that I could go up it backwards and with my eyes shut?" |
| 7803 | Have n''t I spoken of you over and over again?" |
| 7803 | Have you forgotten you''re going up Monadnock to- day?" |
| 7803 | Hennessey?" |
| 7803 | Hennessey?" |
| 7803 | His folks are poor, and ca n''t get one, and the doctor says--""You''re a--""Oh, shut up, ca n''t you, Bobbie? |
| 7803 | Honor bright, has n''t he said anything to you about me?" |
| 7803 | How could I when they are all plastered over thick with snow?" |
| 7803 | How did you dare?" |
| 7803 | How did you happen to think of that?" |
| 7803 | How is the old scout?" |
| 7803 | How would they meet, these two who had been so long divided by a gulf of years and bitterness? |
| 7803 | I say,"he leaned forward to address the driver,"where did my father get this heirloom, David?" |
| 7803 | I suppose all that stuff in the window was made in exactly the same way as those things we saw to- day, do n''t you?" |
| 7803 | In addition to all this was it not Van who came often to the house, never forgetting to bring in his pocket some toy or picture- book? |
| 7803 | Is n''t my mother a peach?" |
| 7803 | Is n''t that the crowd coming from the gym? |
| 7803 | Is there any more grub left to eat?" |
| 7803 | Know the trail? |
| 7803 | Many another boy had done the same and not been caught; why not he? |
| 7803 | Not a bad day''s work, eh?" |
| 7803 | Not potatoes?" |
| 7803 | Oh, about sugar? |
| 7803 | Powers?" |
| 7803 | Right now, after vacation? |
| 7803 | Some sleep, is n''t it? |
| 7803 | The boys were silent for an interval; then Bob said:"Now about this snarl, Van-- what are we going to do? |
| 7803 | Then Bob whispered:"Have you thought, Van, that maybe the thing you are to do is something for that little lame boy, Tim McGrew?" |
| 7803 | This was your scheme, you say?" |
| 7803 | Was it not he who had picked him up and carried him to the hospital? |
| 7803 | What are you doing? |
| 7803 | What are you talking about?" |
| 7803 | What can I do? |
| 7803 | What could he do?" |
| 7803 | What do we care?" |
| 7803 | What do you say we chuck Colversham and get a job here? |
| 7803 | What do you say, Van?" |
| 7803 | What do you say?" |
| 7803 | What do you suppose I''m going to be doing while you''re rolling up your millions? |
| 7803 | What do you suppose Maitland will do?" |
| 7803 | What do you take this school faculty for-- an entertainment committee? |
| 7803 | What put that idea into your head?" |
| 7803 | What should he say? |
| 7803 | What was algebra, English, or a little wall- scaling compared to such an opportunity? |
| 7803 | What was it your father said?" |
| 7803 | What will it matter a hundred years hence whether we plug away here at this stuff, or get out and play ball?" |
